Description

The interchange has been established as a part of transport infrastructure development for the northern areas of the city. The architectural task was to create a consistent environment and a modern facility blending seamlessly into its neo-classical context. The style has been picked taking into account the historical surroundings and the Saint Petersburg architectural traditions as much as possible.

In June, it will be architect Vasilkovsky’s 100th anniversary. The architect participated in one of the first projects of the Workshop, the Ushakovskaya Interchange flyover. We share our memories of Vasilkovsky and our collaboration, as well as a variety of handmade sketches of Ushakovskaya, which might demonstrate the creative work process from within.
