Rizhome studio, the winners of the Architecture contest for the Renovation Concept of the Dostoevsky Drama Theatre held in the city of Veliky Novgorod (190 km southeast of Saint Petersburg), in Russia, gathered sixteen participants, from which, only three were finalists.

The jury was made up of personalities with studies in Art and Architecture, such as Anna Bronovitskaya or Sergey Gnedovsky, and politicians such as the president of the city, Elena Kirilova.

One of the objectives of the rehabilitation is to bring theater, as a concept and part of urban life, to the local population and tourists. Culturally, Russia has been one of the countries that have stood out the most in both ballet and theater, so it is not surprising that, although large cities have brilliant architectural infrastructures, the next step will be to locate them in the most remote regions.

Respecting the original work of Vladimir Somov, built-in 1987 during the last years of the Soviet era.
