Dear Kievites and guests
of Ukrainian capital. If you like strolling in the city, not only
looking down but enjoying - then this project is for you. All you find
on these walls you could see in the streets all around you, you can't
escape the contemptarch. The project is rather lingering. With every
step in Kiev you get a new portion of "inspiration" and something to
explore. Now you have a chance to see just a small part of what have
been and will be explored.
Contemptarch of a contemptcity spreads over houses, roads, water,
trees, flowers, sometimes -children playgrounds, more rarely - parks
and town gardens. As the time goes by, people like to change buildings
most of all. Kiev is a fast developing city. Therefore architects have
no time even to look around while designing their projects. The very
moment they let their fantasies flourish, construction already starts.
As an explorer of contemptarch and Kiev resident I came to such
conclusions:
1. Contemptarchitects are not on friendly terms with each other and
never show anybody (but customers of course] their projects until
construction starts.
2. They never go outside, at home they have no windows orthey
live in othercities and have never been to Kiev. Otherwise
contemptarchitects would have at least some slight concept on this city
style.
3. Most of contemptarchitects are totally crazy about Star
Wars and the like. How else would you explain their devotion to various
antennas, UFO-styled roofs and passion for extra small windows and
balconies?
4. Majority of contemptarchitects' customers are
from Oriental countries, mostly Islamic. More than a half of newly
erected buildings in contemptarch are decorated with tiny fortresses
looking like minarets.
5. Contemptarchitects spend their holidays in
Turkey and Egypt and have never been anywhere in Western Europe.
