Russia
My visit to Russia begins along the Baltic Sea in Saint Petersburg. Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city as well as its cultural capital. The Historic Center of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next I continue on to Moscow, Russia's capital and most populous city. Here I visit historic Red Square and the Kremlin. The Video concludes with my visit to the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergii in Zagorsk.

The Peacock Clock
For more than two centuries now the Hermitage has been adorned by a unique exhibit that never fails to evoke the enchanted admiration of visitors - the famous Peacock Clock. The figures of a peacock, cockerel and owl that form part of this elaborate timepiece-automaton are fitted with mechanisms that set them in motion.
The creation of mechanical birds had long been of interest to inventors: back in the Ancient World figures of singing birds had been used to embellish clepsydras - water clocks. In the 18th century the makers of automata tried to create a system that would enable their birds not only to sing, but also to behave as if alive, and they made them life-size. In the middle of the century, for example, the whole of Europe admired the mechanical duck made by the French craftsman Jacques de Vaucanson, which was able to eat, drink, move and behave in the most life-like manner.
The most celebrated creator of mechanisms of this sort in the second half of the 18th century was the London jeweller and goldsmith James Cox. His fertile imagination generated ideas that were then turned into reality by the craftsmen and mechanics of his company. Cox's firm produced a large number of elaborate automata, sumptuously decorated in a great variety of ways, for European and Eastern clients. Cox became truly famous, however, when in 1772 he opened his own museum - the Spring Gardens, in which he exhibited a large number of mechanical figures of exotic animals, birds and human beings. To fund the making of expensive automata Cox organized lotteries: in London in 1773 and in Dublin the next year. A surviving catalogue of the Dublin lottery lists two peacocks as numbers 6 and 8. From the description of the items it is clear that this pair of automata differed from the Hermitage composition: the peacock was perched on an oak stump, around which two snakes twined. There is no mention of the figures of a cockerel and owl, or of the mushroom that acts as the clock dial.
The history of the Hermitage's Peacock Clock begins in 1777, when the Duchess of Kingston visited St Petersburg. Balls were given in the Russian capital in honour of this wealthy and distinguished guest. Grigory Potiomkin, who met the Duchess in society, learned of James Cox's magnificent mechanisms. Pandering to Catherine II's passion for collecting, the Prince commissioned the celebrated craftsman to make a monumental automaton with a clock for the Empress's Hermitage. In order to meet this expensive order as quickly as possible, Cox, whose financial affairs were currently not in the best of health, decided to use an existing mechanical peacock that featured in the Dublin lottery. He expanded the composition with a cockerel, owl and a clock mechanism with a dial incorporated into the head of a mushroom, and removed the snakes. To create his new automaton, Cox recruited the assistance of Friedrich Jury, a German craftsman who had settled in London.
The Peacock Clock arrived in St Petersburg in 1781. The records of the Winter Palace chancellery listing the valuables that Catherine II acquired in that year include mention of two payments - on 30 September and 14 December - to the clockmaker Jury for a clock delivered from England. The payments amounted to 11,000 roubles (around 1,800 pounds sterling) and were made from the Empress's personal funds on the basis of a letter from Prince Potiomkin.
The clock was brought to Russia in pieces. At Potiomkin's request the Russian mechanic Ivan Kulibin set it in working order. From 1797 to the present day the Peacock Clock has been one of the Hermitage's most famous exhibits. It is, moreover, the only large 18th-century automaton in the world to have come down to us unaltered and in a functioning condition.
The Peacock Clock at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia
In the Pavilion Hall (Small Hermitage) of the Hermitage Museum (Winter Palace) in St. Petersburg, Russia is the Peacock Clock. This animated clock was created by British jeweler, James Cox. Grigory Potemkin, one of Catherine II's lovers, wanted to give her a gift that would appeal to her avid passion for collecting. This is a video of the video which plays beside the exhibit. The clock plays each Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. The magic of the peacock clock is one of the most popular pieces with the tourists.

[한국어 정보]
나는 배를 타고 상트페테르부르크로 들어가기로 했다. 핀란드만을 가로지르는 배는 30분이면 상트페테르부르크에 도착한단다. 네바 강 하구에 엄청난 크기의 크루저 선들이 인상적이다. 핀란드만에서 네바 강으로 들어오자 바로 도심이 보이기 시작한다. 도심 깊숙이 쾌속선으로 오갈 수 있다는 것은 참 편리하다는 생각이 들었다. 배는 예르미타시 국립박물관 앞 선착장으로 향한다. 예르미타시 관람은 이렇게 자연스럽게 이어졌다. 세계 3대 박물관에 속한다는 예르미타시 박물관은 그 명성에 걸맞게 많은 사람들로 붐볐다. “예카테리나 2세는 예르미타시 컬렉션을 처음으로 모으기 시작한 여제입니다. 먼저 겨울 궁전에 모아 놓았다가 나중에 자리가 모자라게 됐어요. 그래서 첫 번째 부속건물을 짓고, 이어서 네 번째 건물까지 짓게 된 것입니다. 지금 박물관은 총 5새의 복합건물입니다.” 오늘의 예르미타시가 있기까지 결정적인 역할을 한 예카테리나 여제다. 유럽을 향한 열망이 강했던 여제는 문화·예술발전에 많은 힘을 들였다고 한다. 박물관의 모태가 된 겨울 궁전은 역대 러시아 황제들의 거처였다. 입구 중앙계단으로부터 로코코 양식의 화려함으로 빛을 발한다. 영접홀로 쓰인 문장관. 8kg의 황금을 입혀 외부 손님에게 러시아의 부를 과시했다는 곳이다. 여인들의 규방도 마찬가지다. 황금 도금과 그 장식의 화려함이 극에 달한다. 아예 벽면과 천장을 황금으로 입힌 황금의 방도 있다. 이 방은 우랄 지역 광산에서 캐온 보석인 공작석으로 치장돼 있다. 크기가 큰 공작석 장식을 위해 러시아 특유의 모자이크 기법을 사용했다고 한다. 이탈리아에서 직수입한 카라라산. 흰 대리석과 샹들리에 그리고 황금 치장으로 화려함이 돋보이는 황제의 방이다. 러시아 국장인 쌍두 독수리 문장 아래 금으로 만든 대옥좌가 위용을 자랑한다. 이곳은 1812년 나폴레옹 침공을 막아낸 영웅들의 방이다. 한쪽 벽면에는 모스크바를 비우는 전략으로 나폴레옹의 침공을 막아낸 쿠투조프 장군의 초상화가 있다. 양쪽 벽에는 나폴레옹 전쟁에 참여한 모든 장군과 장교들의 초상화 324점이 걸려 있다. 초상화를 미처 그리지 못한 군인들의 자리도 마련해뒀다. 많은 관람객의 관심을 끄는 것 중 하나가 바로 공작새 시계. 독특한 형태와 복잡한 구조를 갖춘 시계다. “이곳의 주요 전시물은 파블린의 시계인데요. 18세기 영국에서 가져온 겁니다. 당시 분해해서 가져온 것을 여기서 조립했다고 합니다. 오늘날에도 제대로 작동하고 있습니다.” “이 식당은 1917년 임시정부 요인들이 체포된 곳입니다. 이것은 1917년 10월 혁명이었는데, 러시아에서는 세 번째 혁명으로 불립니다.” 새장 속 올빼미와 수탉이 울면 그 옆에 있는 공작이 날개를 펴서 응답을 하는 구조다. 당시로서는 상당한 수준의 기술이다. 지금은 일주일에 한 번 작동시킨다고 한다.

Alexander Park - Tsarskoe Selo
The Alexander Park runs directly to the west of the Catherine Palace, and covers around 200 hectares. It begins with what is left of the New Garden, a square surrounded by the Cross Canal and divided into four smaller squares, each with a complex geometrical lay-out. Constructed in the reign of Elizabeth, the New Garden is now almost completely overgrown, with the most visible remains being Mount Parnassus, a small artificial hill covered in birches, and the Mushroom Bed, a convergence of eight little alleys marked by unusually shaped wrought-iron benches that took the place of a gazebo in the early 19th century. At the centre of one of the quarters of the New Garden stand the remains of the Chinese Theatre, once a full-size opera house with an intimate but extraordinarily sumptuous interior. The original plans for the Chinese Theatre date from 1770 and were the work of celebrated Antonio Rinaldi, who had already built for Catherine the superb Chinese Palace at Oranienbaum. Erected in 1778, the building's relatively simple exterior, the upturned roofs of which were the only real concession to Orientalism, belied the extravagance of the interiors, which were a riot of Chinoiserie decorations that liberal employed gold and silver leaf, embroidered silk, porcelain chandeliers, and antique lacquer paneling. Although the Chinese Theatre was rarely used after Catherine's death, it experienced a revival in the reign of Nicholas II, when the stage was once again used for gala and command performances. Unfortunately, the Chinese Theatre was one of the first architectural victims of the Nazi invasion, and was completely gutted during the shelling of Pushkin in 1941.
Rinaldi's plans envisioned a whole village of Chinese-style buildings around the theatre. His concept was eventually executed in the 1780s further south in the park by Charles Cameron and the Russian father-son team of Vasily and Peter Neyelov. The Chinese Village consists of ten single-storey cottages surrounding an octagonal pagoda-observatory. Still unfinished at the time of Catherine's death, the Chinese Village was reworked and completed by Vasily Stasov in the 1820s, and was turned into guest apartments, frequented by the likes of the famous Russian historian Nikolai Karamzin. The village has been fully restored, and the cottages once again serve as apartments, leased to help raise funds for the restoration of the park.The landscaped park, which stretches north-east from the New Garden, was mostly laid out in the 1820s by Scottish-born architect Adam Menelas in the romantic style. Among the winding alleyways and varied woodland, Menelas constructed several gothic follies. Ironically, the best preserved is probably the Chapelle, which was designed to represent a ruined medieval belltower. The castle-like Arsenal and White Tower, which was designed as a playground for the children of Nicholas I, were both severely damaged during the Second World War, and are currently undergoing restoration/reconstruction. Close to the Arsenal can also be found the Retirement Stables, which Menelas built for Nicholas I as a home for horses retired from service in the Imperial stables in St. Petersburg. This red-brick pavilion with gothic touches has survived almost fully intact, and nearby there is a Horse Cemetery, where more than 110 of the Imperial family's favourite horse were buried up until 1917.
Also in the far north of the Alexander Park can be found St. Fyodor's Imperial Cathedral and the Fyodorovskiy Gorodok, the latter a barracks for the soldiers of the Imperial bodyguard formed after the assassination of Alexander II. The cathedral was their parish church, completed in 1912 in the Russian Revival style. It also became the house church for Nicholas II and his family. Although severely damaged by Nazi attacks, it has now been almost completely restored, and is once again an active church.

........ SUBSCIRBE.......
Kolomenskoye (Russian: Коло́менское) is a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center of Moscow, Russia, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna (hence the name). The 390 hectare scenic area overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River. It became a part of Moscow in the 1960s.
The White Column of Kolomenskoye
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita (1339). As time went by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The earliest existing structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical White Column (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning break from the Byzantine tradition.
The church reaches toward the sky from a low cross-shaped podklet (ground floor), followed by a prolonged chetverik (octagonal body, and then an octagonal tent, crowned by a tiny dome. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture. The whole vertical composition is believed to have been borrowed from hipped roof-style wooden churches of the Russian North. Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List in 1994.
The great palace and other structures
Tsar Alexis I had all the previous wooden structures in Kolomenskoye demolished and replaced them with a new great wooden palace, famed for its fanciful, fairytale roofs. Foreigners referred to this huge maze of intricate corridors and 250 rooms, as 'an Eighth Wonder of the World'. Although basically only a summer palace, it was the favorite residence of Tsar Alexis I. The future Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was born in the palace in 1709, and Tsar Peter the Great spent part of his youth here. Upon the departure of the court for St. Petersburg, the palace fell into disrepair, so that Catherine II refused to make it her Moscow residence. On her orders the wooden palace was demolished in 1768, and replaced with a much more modest stone-and-brick structure.
Fortunately, detailed plans of the Alexis I palace survived. The Moscow Government has completed a full-scale reconstruction in 2010. The rebuilt palace stands approximately 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the south of its original location near the White Column, in order to preserve the historic foundations. The palace erected by Catherine the Great in 1768 was demolished in 1872, and only a few gates and outside buildings remain.

Aerial view of Kolomenskoye
During the early Soviet period, under the initiative of architect and restorer Pyotr Baranovsky, old wooden buildings and various artifacts were transported to Kolomenskoye from different parts of the USSR for preservation, so currently Kolomenskoye Park hosts an impressive set of different constructions and historical objects.
Local buildings
Church of John the Baptist in Dyakovo, 16th century. The church stands on the Dyakovo hill, located southwest from the Kolomenskoye hill. The church has five tent-like structures, and was probably constructed around 1547, reputedly by architect Postnik Yakovlev, the author of Saint Basil's Cathedral on the Red Square.

BruumRuum! is an interactive installation by David Torrents and artec3 in collaboration with LedsControl, which can be found in the Plaza de Glories of Barcelona, next to the Museum of Design (DHUB) and Torre Agbar.
Depending on the intensity of environmental sounds, this installation changes shape and color, presenting a dialogue between visitors and the public space through sound and light. A square becomes a great ear reacts to words, a public space that feels.
The sensors are sensitive to noise intensity, capture the loudest noise caused by pedestrians and vehicles passing through the street as well as the softest sound that translate into sinuous movements.

Eric Owen Moss: “I’ll See It When I Believe It”
Eric Owen Moss, MArch ’72, was born in Los Angeles, California. In 1973, after completing his studies at UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Harvard Graduate School of Design, he founded Eric Owen Moss Architects. Today, his firm is an award-winning 25-person office that designs and constructs projects in the United States and around the world. As documented in monographs on the firm’s work, such as Eric Owen Moss Construction Manual 1988–2008 (2009), Moss has placed a distinct emphasis on the act and process of building. His many essays on design theory and reflections on architecture as a discipline have been published in collections including Gnostic Architecture (1999) and Who Says What Architecture Is (2007). His most recent book The New City: I’ll See It When I Believe It (2016) documents his rehabilitation of more than fifty buildings in the Hayden Tract between Los Angeles and Santa Monica: that abandoned industrial district was transformed into an enclave of creative and new media companies, made possible by his close, decades-long collaboration with a developer.
Moss has lectured widely and held teaching positions at major universities around the world, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. A longtime professor at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), he served as its director from 2002 to 2015. Among the many honors he has received are the AIA|LA Educator of the Year in 2006; the Most Admired Educator Award from the Design Futures Council in 2013; and the Jencks Award from the Royal Institute of British Architects, in 2011. In 2014 he was inducted into the National Academy and in 2016 he received the Austrian Decoration of Honor for Science and Art.
VDNKh: a fantastic Moscow park only locals know | Russia 2018 vlog
VDNKh is a Moscow park famous for outdoor and indoor attractions. It was built to represent the countries part of the Soviet Union and exhibit their achievements, and now it's a great place to enjoy both winter and summer in Moscow, Russia. (2018 vlog)
VDNKh (or VDNH) is among the best places to visit in Moscow, although few foreigners know about it. It's worth seeing the gardens, the fountains (if they're turned on!), the Space Pavilion, the Cosmonautics museum and for kids, the aquarium (Moskvarium).
In this vlog, after VDNKh we also visit Ostankino Tower and hotel Ukraina, one of the Seven Sisters.

Павловск. Парадная спальня Марии Фёдоровны.
В 1792 году архитектор В. Бренн создал великолепный интерьер в духе французских королевских дворцов. Восторг вызывает роскошное ложе, декорированное золочёной орнаментальной резьбой и скульптурой с аллегорическими изображениями, олицетворяющими счастье и благоденствие царской семьи. Уникальный мебельный гарнитур А. Жаккоба и редчайший памятник прикладного искусства - знаменитый туалетный прибор, изготовленный в Севре заслуживают пристального вниThe State Bedroom of the Empress was decorated by Brenna in imitation of the royal bedchambers of the kings of France. Unlike the severely classical state apartments, this interior is done in what is known as the Louis-Seize style, in vogue on the eve of the French bourgeois revolution of 1789. The walls are ornamented with light gilded mouldings on a white ground, enframing panels of cream-coloured silk painted in tempera with rural trophies: fruit, flowers, musical instruments and gardening implements within a border of flower-bedecked trelliswork. These panels, as well as the drapery borders executed in colours of rare brilliance and freshness, were done by Johann Jacob Mettenleiter from the sketches of Willem van Leen of Holland, who worked for the royal court in Paris.
The Bedroom ceiling was painted to harmonize with the decor of the walls. It shows an inside view of a pretty trellised bower covered with roses and other flowers, and against the blue sky in the oval openings, peacocks, the symbol of conjugal happiness.
The furniture of the State Bedroom is a triumph of the cabinet-maker's art. The magnificent gilded bed, beneath a canopy hung with silk draperies, is exquisitely carved with a variety of motifs: basketfuls of flowers, symbolic of abundance, an altar of love over which cupids hold a wreath of roses, greyhounds, symbolic of faithfulness, sphinxes, a symbol of longevity, signs of the zodiac, and other symbols and emblems typical of eighteenth-century art.
Equal perfection of design and craftsmanship marks the dainty Duchesse-type couch and the armchairs with the owners' joined cypher on their backs. This, and a few other sets of furniture made by Henri Jacob for the Pavlovsk Palace, have no analogies in our other museums.
In a hood-case near the window is the famous toilet set made at Sevres in 1782 on the order of Marie Antoinette for a present to Maria Feodorovna.
The set comprises over sixty pieces of jewelled Sevres painted in gold over underglaze blue with classical. subjects, and having applied gold decorations of the utmost delicacy, with tiny drops of coloured enamels fused onto the surface to imitate precious stones. This technique was considered at the time to be the last word in the art of porcelain decoration. Of superb craftsmanship is the oval mirror adorned with the figures of the Three Graces in biscuit porcelain. Models for these sculptures and for the playing amorini on the porcelain boxes were made by Louis Simon Boizot, director of sculpture at the Sevres factory. The gold and bronze decorations are the work of Jean Claude Duplessis, goldsmith to the French court, and the jewelling was done by the enameller Joseph Cotteau, the inventor of this technique. This masterpiece which won world-wide fame, cost the royal exchequer 60,000 livres, and no other set like it was made ever since.
The chandelier in the State Bedroom is one of the best works by St Petersburg craftsmen of the period (late eighteenth century). Its light bronze frame seems to melt away amidst the beautifully sparkling festoons of crystal drops full of prismatic colour, whose effect is enhanced by the stem of ruby glass. The use of coloured glass in chandeliers is a distinctly Russian techniqueмания.
Balenciaga and Spain by Hamish Bowles, Vogue
Cristóbal Balenciaga was born in Guetara, a Spanish fishing village, in 1895, and died in Valencia in 1972. Although his career was spent in Paris, he never left his Spanish heritage behind. In this lecture, Hamish Bowles will discuss the impact of Balenciaga’s native Spain—its regional dress, cultural and religious traditions and powerful artistic history—on the couturier’s work, exploring how Balenciaga translated these influences into his designs, both overtly and subliminally, through the decades. Bowles will touch on his own experiences curating two monographic exhibitions on the designer, his discoveries tracing the designer’s personal history in Spain and his own collection of Balenciaga works.
