A Train Station as an Epoch” Reconstruction of Railway Station / Faber Group

The Ivanovo railroad station building is both a cultural heritage as well as an architectural landmark. The largest Constructivist station in Russia, it was built in 1933 based on the architect Vladimir Kaverinksi’s design. The total area of the station is 5,755 square meters, and it has a capacity of 2,500 people. From 1933 until the present time, the station has undergone three total reconstructions in the 1950s, the 1980s, and in 2020. Each of these introduced structural, exterior, and interior elements with easily recognizable attributes of the era in which they were done. As a result, the building represents a hybrid of two ideologically opposing, but stylistically complementary artistic trends - avant-garde constructivism and Soviet modernism.
