Moscow Research and Design Institute for Civil Construction and Integrated Territorial Development, «Mosproekt» (JSC «Mosproekt»), is a leading Moscow design institute, building on the legacy of the renowned «Mosproekt-4». In 2026, «Mosproekt-4» is returning to its original name from 1930, when the architectural design workshops of the Mossoviet were consolidated into the unified «Mosproekt». At that time, its primary task was the development of standard designs for residential, industrial, and social (club) buildings.
«Mosproekt» is the oldest design institute in Moscow. The monumental residential architecture of the 1930s, the Moscow Metro, the unrealized Palace of the Soviets, the post-war Stalinist Empire style, the standard residential districts, and the Khrushchyovka apartments — all of these were developed within the workshops of «Mosproekt», led by outstanding 20th-century architects including Konstantin Melnikov, Alexey Shchusev, Ivan Zholtovsky, Moisei Ginzburg, and Nikolay Ladovsky.
In the 1960s, the institute was divided into «Mosproekt-1», «Mosproekt-2», «Mosproekt-3», and «Mosproekt-4». «Mosproekt-1» focused on residential design, while «Mosproekt-2» undertook the reconstruction of the city center and the design of unique buildings. The legacy of «Mosproekt-2» includes projects such as Mikhail Posokhin’s New Arbat Street, Yuri Sheverdyaev’s Tretyakov Gallery building on Krymsky Val, and Boris Thor’s conceptual plan for the Moscow-City business district. The scope of «Mosproekt-3» encompassed urban environment development and landscaping, with notable projects including the improvement of the Kremlin grounds, Sokolniki Park, Izmaylovo Estate, Kuskovo Estate, and Fili Park.
«Mosproekt-4» specialized in designing unique buildings for healthcare, sports, culture, and leisure. Its first project was the reconstruction of Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure in Moscow, and its first major cultural building was the Taganka Theatre. The institute’s designs brought to life world-renowned structures such as the Press Centre for the 1980 Olympic Games, the E.I. Chazov National Medical Research Center for Cardiology, the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, as well as dozens of polyclinics and maternity hospitals. In 2024, the construction of the new Tretyakov Gallery buildings on Kadashovskaya Embankment was completed. Specialists from «Mosproekt-4» have also restored numerous historical landmarks, including Moscow’s oldest building, the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars, as well as the Old English Court, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics.
The revived «Mosproekt», established on the foundation of «Mosproekt-4», consolidates the knowledge, experience, and expert resources of all the leading design institutes, emerging as Moscow’s unified, full-cycle center for civil construction design and integrated territorial development.
A systematic transformation, aimed at the development and regeneration of the Moscow school of design, is forging a resilient and competitive architectural and engineering platform capable of addressing the challenges of a modern metropolis.
A key priority for the institute’s development is the digitalization of design processes and the implementation of BIM technologies, alongside the modernization of workshops — creating spaces for testing new methodologies, engineering solutions, and integrating digital workflows. Significant attention is devoted to education and attracting young professionals — architects and engineers — as well as to building partnerships with universities, research centers, and professional communities.
Today, JSC «Mosproekt» stands as both a design institute and a center of expertise, uniquely blending the traditions of the Moscow architectural school, cutting-edge digital technologies, and a new generation of talent.
