Abstract

The article features the process of architectural and planning formation of the Big Krasnoyarsk in 1930s. As the result of the study the main planning proposals for the city of the Moscow planners and representatives of the local organizations has been identified. The article depicts the problems of the city planning design of Krasnoyarsk in the early decades of the Soviet time. The study of the documentary materials made it possible to determine the objectives the formation of Krasnoyarsk as a future socialist city, which were associated with the transformation of the city into the major industrial and cultural center of Siberia. The represented materials of the discussions about the Big Krasnoyarsk design, which were actively conducted in the pre-war period, made it possible to identify the basic contradiction in the city planning projections of the architects and local authorities. The main contradiction was in the fact that the design organizations suggested to build the new city in the free territories of the right bank of the Yenisei river, while the region and the city administrations wanted to see the future development of the city in evolutionary transformations of the historical city buildings, with an initial solution of the transport connection of the two banks of the Yenisey river. Discussions related to many aspects of the city design, such as making the choice of the location of the regional and city centers, places of construction of the communal bridge, the architectural design of the development, inclusion of the Tatyshev island into the territory of the city, the compactness of the planning structure of the city, directions and rates of growth of the industrial engineering. These discussions have attracted unprecedented attention, and many suggestions of the Krasnoyarsk public representatives. The results of the study indicated a significant effect of the pre-project activities on the choice of the design projects and city-planning development of Krasnoyarsk in the twentieth century.
