Likhachev Moscow (1st place in 1930-34). Vesnina, Russian architects, brothers, constantly working in the creative community. Together have gone from pre-revolutionary Soviet neoclassicism to - through the bright stage avant-garde of the 1920s. Come from a merchant family, lived mostly in Moskve.Leonid A. Vesnin [November 28 (December 10) in 1880, Nizhny Novgorod - October 8, 1933, Moscow], he studied at the Academy of Arts LN Benoit. Viktor Vesnin [March 28 (April 9) 1882 Yurievets, Ivanovo region - September 17, 1950, Moscow], he studied at the Institute of Civil Engineers (1901-12). He was Chairman of the Organizing Bureau of the Union of Architects of the USSR (1932-39), the first president of the Academy of Architecture of the USSR (1939-49), member of the USSR (1943). Alexander Vesnin [16 (28) May 1883, Yurievets - November 7, 1959, Moscow], studied there (1901-12), as well as art studios KF Juon, JF Tsionglinskogo (1907-11) and Vladimir Tatlin (1912-13) .Ranny period. Modern, neoclassical and Art Nouveau rationalism and neoclassicism (the most significant example - Sirotkin house in Nizhny Novgorod, 1913, where Vesnin performed and decorative painting) pre-revolutionary works brothers evolved towards early rationalism (bank Junger at the Kuznetsk bridge in Moscow, 1913). Rationalist line strengthened in their work and due to the fact that, since 1914, Victor Vesnin designed industrial buildings, and Leonid Vesnin, in addition to industrial architecture, actively engaged and relevant urban development (project created Shaturskaya and working village with her, 1918-25 ; only partially implemented) .StsenografiyaFunktsionalno-industrial beginning, however, often coalesced with subtle irony, a sense of the world as a theater; in this respect, particularly important was the role of Alexander Vesnina. Passing the period of non-objective, close Suprematism art, he collaborated with the Chamber and Small theaters, as well as the theater of Vsevolod Meyerhold. He created innovative, landmark for scenography 20. work, connected by flexible organic rhythm Nouveau motifs totally mechanical "New World", which was ironic transformation principles of constructivism (the most typical and well-known example - the design of the play "The Man Who Was Thursday" by GK Chesterton at the Chamber Theater 1923 ) .Konstruktivizm a number of projects (building "Leningrad Pravda" and the house society "Arcos", both - 1924) and implemented buildings Vesnin brothers in Moscow (House Political Prisoners society, now the studio theater actor, 1931-34) entered the golden fund of constructivism (Le Corbusier called even Alexander Vesnina "founder" of the latter). The desire to express it in the form of building "industrial character", that is its function as a whole, implement them in a graceful ease, even playfulness compositions dynamics effectively successive visual angles. With the fullest extent these principles were embodied in the building of the Palace of Culture ZIL (1930-34). The building dominates the surrounding urban landscape as bright "ship of the future", but this reflected the construction and blatant anti-historicism of the then official culture (since the new complex was built on the territory defiantly the most valuable monument staromoskovskogo Baroque, Simonov monastery 17 in., Which as a result has been largely destroyed) In the following period .Neoklassitsizm Vesnin brothers, keeping a clear functionality and overall composition plan, again turning to neoclassicism, giving it special is now a monumental scale. Gigantic complex of the Dnieper (1927-32) executed vpechatlyayushego greatness. Erected at the same HPP new district of Zaporozhye (1928-30) embodies the avant-garde trends in urban design - with the opening quarter, "a complex of buildings set in the green area" (rather than closed, as before, on the perimeter of the streets). Since 1934, Victor Vesnin is a senior architect Narkomtyazhprom concentrated in the hands of the management of the entire industrial architecture of the USSR, as well as - or even largely - and the construction of new cities. Brothers, seemingly gain optimal conditions for design and construction activities - if not the harsh reality of Stalin's industrialization, which eliminates and nullifies the humanistic content of the boldest architectural ideas. The most ambitious of the later designs Vesnins (House of People's Commissariat of projects on the Red Square in 1934, and the second House of People's Commissars in charge, in 1940, both of which are not implemented) suffer from gigantism, ignoring the traditions of Moscow architecture. Art Vesnin brothers had a great impact on the development of domestic architecture also because both were highly talented junior teachers (they taught in VHUTEMAS-VHUTEINe and the Moscow Architectural Institute) .Literatura: Ilyin MA Vesnins.

For the first time suggested that these lands - a new part of the world that Lorraine M. Valdzemyuller cartographer named (1507) named Amerigo Vespucci Amerikoy.VESPUChChI (Vespucci) Amerigo (March 9, 1454, Florence - February 22, 1512, Seville), Italian navigator, one of the discoverers of South America, the Amazon delta, the Gulf of Venezuela, Maracaibo lagoon and Brazilian Highlands; chief pilot (navigator), Spain (1508). The first half of life's journey Born into a family of a notary, Vespucci was home education in the humanities. For a long time he served in the banking house of the Medici. In 1490 he moved to Spain, where he worked as an agent of the same firm in Seville, working primarily equipped ships. Thoroughly studied the device ships, mastered navigation and astronomy, was different maps. In 1492 moved to the Spanish naval service, participated in the second and third gear expedition of Christopher Columbus, who was friends with. Until 1499 Vespucci sailed nowhere. Maiden voyage in 1499-1500 was a navigator in the expedition of Alonso Ojeda (three courts), commanding two ships, equipment at their own expense. In the summer of 1499 the fleet approached the northern coast of South America at 5 ° or 6 ° N latitude, where the split. Vespucci moved to the southeast, July 2, opened the Amazon delta and estuary sleeve Couple boats penetrated up to 100 km. Then he continued sailing south-east to the bay of San Marcos (44 ° W), revealed about 1200 km coastal strip north of South America, the Caribbean Current discovered. From there Vespucci reversed in August caught Alonso Ojeda near 66 ° west longitude. Following the west together, they discovered more than 1,600 km from the southern coast of the mainland peninsula Paraguaná and Guajira, Trieste and bays of Venezuela, Maracaibo lagoon and several islands, including Curacao. Autumn again separated from the Vespucci Ojeda, explored the coast of South America 300 km south-west and returned to Spain in June 1500. The second voyage in 1501-02 Vespucci was in the service of the Portuguese as an astronomer, navigator and historian in the 1st Portuguese expedition Goncalo Coelho's 3 courts. In mid-August 1501 they reached the Atlantic coast of South America at 5 ° 30 'south latitude and went up to 16 °, repeating the opening Bortolome Spaniard Roldan (1500). January 1, 1502 the expedition discovered the bay of Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara), traced the coast 2,000 km to the south-west (up to 25 ° south latitude) and making sure that the land still runs in the same direction, turned back. One caravel arrived in Portugal in late June, the other with Coelho and Vespucci - the beginning of September (the third, dilapidated, had to burn). The third voyage in 1503-04 Vespucci caravel commanded the 2nd expedition Gonçalo Coelho in six courts. At the beginning of August 1503 at the open of Ascension Island (8 ° S), one ship sank, 3 missing. Caravel Coelho and Vespucci reached the bay "All Saints" which we found in a previous voyage in 13 °. Vespucci landed on the orders of the first detachment climbed the steep escarpment of Brazilian Highlands and penetrated 250 miles inland. In the harbor at 23 ° south latitude during the 5-month-old Portuguese built a fleet parking where we left 24 sailor, and with a load of sandalwood returned to Lisbon in late June 1504. The origin of the name "America" and the last years of his life by the voyages along the northern and eastern shores newfound land from Vespucci had the correct idea of her as a transatlantic southern continent, and in 1503, in a letter to his homeland, he proposed to call the New World mainland. In 1507 Lorraine cartographer Martin Waldseemüller attributed to the opening of the "fourth part of the world", made by Columbus, Vespucci and "christened" the continent of America in honor of Amerigo Vespucci. In 1538 it had already recognized the name was extended to the Mercator map, and North America. In 1505, after a second move to Spain, Vespucci was Castilian subjects. In 1508 was appointed to the newly established position of chief pilot of Spain and held it until his smerti.Vespuchchi as lichnost.Po contemporaries, he was extremely honest, intelligent and observant person. With a remarkable literary talent, often exaggerating, Vespucci described the nature of open countries, the appearance and life of the Indians, the starry sky of the southern hemisphere, but are permanently silent about the head of the expedition, and his role in them.
