“The development of street art in the city in all its manifestations is a very interesting creative task that has many different meanings. It influences the general level of culture and perception of the environment, saturates it, makes it more diverse and recognizable. My team and I are seriously working on this issue, communicating with artists, developers, and setting up these connections. It is important to pay attention to the positive trend of recent years – competitions are held, new artistic objects are created, old and significant ones are preserved and transformed into new projects. Now we are starting a new competition with colleagues, and STONE, and I, as a member of the jury, are waiting for bright and at the same time elegant solutions that can highlight the architecture and become a symbol of the place,” said the chief architect of Moscow , member of the expert council Sergey Kuznetsov.
