Vladimir Paperny, а writer, art expert, and architectural critic.
His life has been as fascinating as his books, and his home tirelessly follows him on the heels, leaving behind a chain of images, smells and bodily sensations. Wet atmosphere of Moscow dachas, the choice between South and West he made in Vienna, almost legionary life in a migrant camp near Rome, and the first apartment that he really liked— in Anaheim. No nostalgia, there is no reason for it, since the true home of Vladimir Paperny is the Russian language and its limitless empire with an outpost on the palm hills of faraway Pasadena.

"There is a legend that at sunrise Gagarin raises his hands up"
This time we are going outside the center of Moscow - to New Cheryomushki. Simon Brodetsky was born and raised in this area, but lives in a country house. A familiar area is a set of points and lines in space: a shopping center near the metro, DK Orchestrion, Leninsky Prospekt, Vorontsov Park, and Gagarin is the only favourite monument, "a monument to hope, unlike everyone else".

Кристиан Бланко, Руководитель исследовательского направления в APUR (L'Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme)
Кристиан рассказывает о парижском опыте выстраивания функционального городского пространства, удобного для всех. Её стоит послушать не столько ради этого, а прежде всего потому, что она обладает широким гуманитарным взглядом, допускающим сомнения, согласования, компромиссы.
Она живет в мире вопросов без четких ответов, в мире, идущем на ощупь, отступающим, если надо в интересах человека, и снова идущем вперед. Ей важны дилеммы, а не уход от них, она планирует справедливый город, а не застройку. Её заказчик горожанин, и тот, что сейчас живет, и тот, что еще не родился. Она работник ателье, и этим все сказано.

Christiane BLANCOT, Head of Research, APUR (L'Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme), french
We are pleased to introduce the interview with Christiane Blancot. Christiane talks about APUR's experience of making multifunctional urban environment suitable for everyone in Paris. She also deserves to be heard because of her broad human views allowing for doubts, compromises, disputes and consensus.
She is dealing with the issues that may not assume straightforward solutions. She is ready to go by touch and retreat, putting human interests first, then move forward again. Christiane confronts trade-offs, planing fair city, not just developing urban land. She plans for the unborn on behalf of the living. She works for atelier, and this speaks for itself.

"Home borders over the past century have changed, and yet they have never been confined to an apartment": from apartment to a courtyard, and further into the city. Alexandra Litvina, the author of the book "The Apartment: a Century of Russian History" and an everyday life historian talks about how our mode of life and attitude to the home space has been changed over the past hundred years.

"Here people were so packed. So, I had a lot of respect for the initiative to build those five-story prefabricated buildings, khrushevkas. Muscovites promptly called them Khrushcheby (a word-play - Khrushchev-slum)."
