Dutch-Russian Encounters in architecture and town planning

Новые перспективы исследований

New Perspectives

The first Tsar of Russia, Ivan the Terrible started the Russian-Dutch Encounters in architecture with his invitation of Dutch masons to Moscow. Thus, from the sixteenth century the two countries are continuously interacting in the fields of landscape, military, industrial and civil architecture, town planning, cartography and infrastructure. These encounters proved to be sustainable and resilient.

About

The aims of this scientific seminar/workshop are: 1. review ongoing (multidisciplinary) research in both countries and 2. to formulate new themes for future collaborations and 3. to raise public awareness for the mutual built heritage. This fascinating part of Russian-Dutch history would be a solid foundation for future bilateral relations.
