Kihzi Island Ben Hayes

摘要

This proposal is for a museum landscape that will facilitate the restoration and reassembly of 250 wooden Orthodox churches on Kizhi Island in northern Russia. The fragile, desecrated structures have a spiritual presence that commands respect; however, in the next 10-15 years they will almost totally disappear from the Russian landscape. This project challenges the programme of the existing museum on Kizhi Island, radically expanding it to include all 250 wooden churches.
