Sergei Tchoban: Drawing Buildings/Building Drawings
Russian-German architect, artist, and collector Sergei Tchoban is the focus of Sergei Tchoban: Drawing Buildings/Building Drawings, an exploratory exhibition that brings together fifty of the architect’s large scale urban fantasy drawings, deeply personal contemplations about the past, present, and future of his favorite cities – Saint Petersburg, Rome, Amsterdam, Venice, Berlin, New York – along with documentation on five realizations – two museums, two exhibition pavilions, and a theater stage design. The show traces design process and highlights the architect’s intentions behind his searching architecture. Tchoban is questioning his own impact on some of these cities. His passion for architecture is guided primarily by urban mise-en-scène settings that he enjoys and captures on paper in his frequent travels. “I have a very straightforward attitude toward architecture. I always ask one simple question – would I want to draw one of my own projects or my colleagues’ projects?” Says the architect.
Sergei Tchoban (b. 1962, Saint Petersburg, Russia) graduated from the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture at the Russian Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg in 1986. He is managing partner of the Berlin office of TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten and director of the architectural office SPEECH in Moscow. In 2008, together with Sergey Kuznetsov, Tchoban started the namesake architectural magazine. The Tchoban Foundation was initiated in 2009 to celebrate the art of drawing through exhibitions and publications. The Foundation’s Museum for Architectural Drawings was built in Berlin in 2013 to Tchoban’s design. Among the architect’s other built works are: Federation Tower in Moscow, DomAquarée in Berlin, and Russia’s Milan Expo 2015 Pavilion. Tchoban served as curator of the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennales in 2010 and 2012 (Special Mention), and was named Russia’s Architect of the Year in 2012. He won the 2018 European Prize for Architecture by the European Centre and The Chicago Athenaeum.

谢尔盖·卓班：绘建筑/建筑绘
本次展览聚焦俄罗斯裔德国建筑师、艺术家、收藏家谢尔盖·卓班，集合了这位建筑师所创作的五十幅大尺度城市幻想绘画作品，基于历史与文化的丰富性，对于这些城市的过去、当下和未来进行了深刻的个人思考；展览同时包含了五个已建成的项目，它们坐落在他最爱的五座城市之中——圣彼得堡、罗马、阿姆斯特丹、威尼斯、柏林和纽约。这些项目包括两个博物馆、两个展览馆和一个剧场的设计。展览试图追溯建筑师的设计过程，呈现隐藏在他的建筑探索背后的意图，因而每一个项目都是一个开放式的会话。尽管卓班的城市观对于我们一直影响着我们当代城市的发展，他却对此抱有疑问，无论是在他的出生地俄罗斯，还是第二故乡德国。他对建筑的热情源于他在频繁的旅行中体会并且记录下来的城市舞台布景现象。他说：“我对建筑的态度非常直接，我总是问自己一个简单的问题——我愿意去画我自己或者同伴们的项目吗？”
谢尔盖·卓班（1962年生于俄罗斯圣彼得堡）1986年毕业于圣彼得堡列宾美术学院（油画、雕塑与建筑艺术研究学院），他是柏林卓班沃斯建筑事务所的合伙人，是莫斯科SPEECH建筑工作室的总监。2008年，他与合伙人谢尔奇·库兹涅佐夫发行了同名建筑杂志。成立于2009年的卓班基金会致力于通过展览、出版来推广绘画艺术。基金会的建筑绘博物馆由卓班设计，并于2013年在柏林落成。他备受关注的设计作品还包括莫斯科联邦高层综合体、柏林AquaDom商业综合体、2014索契奥运会多媒体中心以及2015米兰世博会俄国馆。同时，他还设计策划了众多为人们熟知的展览以及剧场，并担任2010、2012两届威尼斯建筑双年展俄国馆策展人，其中2012年获得威尼斯特别提名奖。卓班还获得了2012年俄罗斯年度建筑师称号，以及由欧洲中心和芝加哥图书馆颁发的2018欧洲建筑奖。
