Architectural Model of Moscow

A few days ago I have visited the Pavilion of the Architectural Model of Moscow, located at VDNH. This pavilion can be visited absolutely free of charge - admission is free.


The model has 368 square meters area, is a model of the city center, inside the Garden Ring and partly beyond, which includes more than 20 thousand buildings and structures in 1:400 scale, created with absolute precision.

The model is curious for its realism: in due time, the Spassky Tower beats chimes, all bas-reliefs on buildings are recreated with precision. All models of buildings are placed on a real urban basis: each hill or lowland in the city is displayed on the model.

The model is equipped with an interactive hi-end system for building's illumination from the inside, which can be controlled by selecting objects in accordance with the scenario. The system has a smart controller with a touchscreen display, every visitor can set different times of day on the model and highlight related objects, such as parks and embankments, educational institutions, sports facilities, etc.

And I found another diamond on YouTube. I hasten to share my fresh find!



I met the author of these videos, Vadim Gavrilidi, he was involved in the creation of this object. I hasten to share a video on how this amazing model was created.


As we can see, this is a colossal work done by a small group of people.

This is a modular system that can be repeatedly disassembled and assembled again.



If you plan to visit this amazing place, the pavilion working hours are daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. except for Monday.
