"Intourist": the project under the lock.
"Intourist": the project under the lock.
"INTOURIST" all the same will be destroyed. In January of all tourists
Will move, tenants will expel, and the concluded contracts will terminate.
And then a distressful building, long years exposed most
To the rigid criticism, will level with the earth. But piously the place is empty not
Happens, especially if it is the Tver street. Money is already paid,
And Muscovites are waited in couple of years by five-stars hotel "Hilton". But
The building - great secret will look here is how. When we
Have addressed in workshop N22 under the guidance of Andrey Meersona with
Logical question, instead of whether will appear on a place of "a rotten tooth"
Other monster, to us have responded, that any information to journalists
Cannot give, let alone display of the project of a building. It turns out,
That anybody from Muscovites, whether it be the journalist, the historian, architectural
The critic or simple townspeople, has no right in advance to see
Shape of hotel. Similar mystery can speak very much
Simply - according to some Moscow architects seeing
The project, instead of "Intourist" waits for us the 12-storeyed cascade of boxes with
Ornaments a-lja rjus to which there is one name - architectural
Vandalism.
As Alexey Klemenko, a member of presidium has told to me
Ekspertno-advisory social council at the main thing
The architect of Moscow, "on the"Intourist"place can quite appear
Grandiose building in Moscow style so liked by our mayor with
Turrets along the edges. Moscow hardly needs one more suppressing
The prettiness a building on Tver. Any competition with
The international participation as it is accepted all over the world, on the project
The new building was not, architectural critics and historians too not
Have asked. Not doubting in professionalnosti Andrey Meersona, I
I think, that normal competition on the project would give the chance to us
To choose the best variant, and now Muscovites simply do not have choice ".
And it is valid, if to us will allow to admire only the final
Result, that, nesmotrja on any outcries, new,
Costing 130 mln. dollars will not take down hotel, how were
Its kind is exotic. And years through thirty, maybe, will begin
And nobody will recollect disputes on architectural value of a building, that at
Muscovites, as always, have not asked before building, it is pleasant
It the project of the future building or not.
