Историческая справка
This house was built in 1953 according to the design of Igor Fomin in collaboration with Sergei Speransky and Georgy Aleksandrov. It so happened that all three architects of this building left a significant mark on the history of the Leningrad Underground. Fomin was among the creators of the design of Ploshchad Vosstaniya station, Speransky designed Narvskaya and Politekhnicheskaya stations, and Aleksandrov designed Vladimirskaya station. Let's take a closer look at the figure of Igor Fomin. He was born at the beginning of 1904 into the family of the famous architect Ivan Fomin. In 1912, Igor Fomin was accepted to Karl Mai School. From 1918 to 1923, Fomin's younger sister, Iraida, a future graphic artist, studied at the same school. Igor was unable to complete the full course at the school as his class was disbanded in 1920. Later, Igor entered the Mathematics Department of Petrograd State University, while attending architecture classes at the Second Petrograd Polytechnic Institute. After the abolition of the Second Polytechnic in 1924, he was enrolled in the third year of the Architecture Department. Among his teachers, in addition to his father, were Lev Rudnev and Leonty Benois. The topic of Fomin’s thesis was “House of Congresses.” Since 1926, Igor Fomin began working at LenNIIproekt design intitute. Among his significant pre-war projects are Volodarsky District Health Resort on prospekt Elizarova, the First and Second Lensovet Buildings, and the Naval House on Petrovskaya naberezhnaya. During the Siege of Leningrad, Igor Fomin stayed in the city. He headed the camouflage works in Vyborgsky and Kalininsky districts. In 1945, a temporary Victory Arch was built on prospekt Obukhovskoy Oborony according to his design. In 1946-1948, Fomin, together with his student Boris Zhuravlev, rebuilt Lopatin House on Nevsky prospekt. In the 1950's, Fomin, being already in the status of deputy chief architect of the city, insisted on the construction of the Educational and Scientific Complex of Leningrad University in Peterhof. He also drew up the general plan for the complex in the late 1960's. In 1971, Fomin was awarded with the title of the People's Architect of the USSR.
