- Abstract
In the second half of the 1940s - early 1950s in the Soviet Union there was a formation of the system of closed settlements that were built to serve the enterprises for the production of nuclear weapons. For a long time, atomic cities had the status of secret objects, therefore many questions of their architectural and planning development have remained open. Despite the fact that closed cities were designed and built following the general trends of development of domestic architecture of the postwar period, however, the special conditions in which these settlements were found have been reflected in the solution of architectural space. In the context of national urban development practices in the post-war period, stages of design and construction of the ensemble of the main square in Krasnoyarsk-26 - one of the closed cities of the USSR nuclear industry are considered. Solving the problem of the quality of architectural and spatial environment of a closed city, the architects have focused on the theme of the ensemble of Alexandrinskiy Theatre in St. Petersburg. The materials are supplemented by previously unpublished archival photographs.
