Vladimir Krinsky (1890-1971)

Vladimir Krinsky Biography

(b Ryazan’, 1890; d Moscow, 1971). Russian architect, theorist and teacher. He completed his architectural studies in 1917 at the Academy of Arts, Petrograd (now St Petersburg). After a brief interval in Yaroslavl’ as an architectural restorer, he settled permanently in Moscow. From 1919 to 1921 he was active in the avant-garde associations Zhivskulptarkh (Paintsculptarch) and Inkhuk (Institute for Artistic Culture), particularly in the latter’s group for objective analysis and its working group of architects. Although short-lived, these fluid groups supplied energizing ideas for the curriculum of the Vkhutemas (Higher (state) art and technical workshops), the most important design school in the USSR during the 1920s. After joining the Vkhutemas in 1920, Krinsky collaborated closely with Nikolay Ladovsky and Nikolay Dokuchayev until the school’s demise in 1930. The trio helped to reorganize the obligatory Basic (foundation) Course on the basis of Ladovsky’s psychoanalytical method. Krinsky himself taught Three-dimensional studies in the introductory Spatial Construction studio, later known as the Space and Volume Focus (Rus. kontsentr).
