The Moscow design institute "Mosproekt-4" has returned to its historical name, "Mosproekt," which it bore since 1930. This was announced by the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Planning Policy, which is part of the Moscow Complex of Urban Planning Policy and Construction, Vladislav Ovchinsky.
The new full name — "Scientific Research Institute for the Design of Civil Construction Facilities and Integrated Territorial Development 'Mosproekt'" — reflects the modern characteristics of the fundamental design institute, which undertakes the full-cycle architectural and engineering design of key facilities in the city of Moscow.
"Mosproekt is the oldest design institute in Moscow. The monumental residential architecture of the 1930s, the metro, the Palace of Soviets project, post-war Stalinist Empire style, standard residential districts, and Khrushchyovkas — all of this was developed in the workshops of Mosproekt, managed by outstanding 20th-century architects: Konstantin Melnikov, Alexey Shchusev, Ivan Zholtovsky, Moisei Ginzburg, Nikolai Ladovsky, and others. Today, the revived Mosproekt accumulates the knowledge, experience, and expert base of all leading design institutes and is becoming a unified center for the full-cycle design of civil construction facilities and integrated territorial development in Moscow," said Vladislav Ovchinsky.
The renewed institute has reverted to its first historical name from 1930, when the architectural and design workshops of the Mossovet were transformed into the unified "Mosproekt," whose tasks included the development of standard residential and industrial construction projects. In the 1960s, the design institute split into four organizations: "Mosproekt-1" focused on designing residential buildings, while "Mosproekt-2" undertook the reconstruction of the city center and the design of unique facilities. The tasks of "Mosproekt-3" included urban environment development and landscaping, and "Mosproekt-4" specialized in designing unique buildings in the fields of healthcare, sports, culture, and leisure. Thus, "Mosproekt-4" becomes the successor to the original Mosproekt, which will turn 96 years old this year.
