Beyond Black Square
The goal of this architectural competition is to design an innovative art exhibition and studio space inspired by Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism, emphasizing bold geometric simplicity and spiritual intensity. The 900-square-meter site in the cultural heart of Petrograd (modern-day St. Petersburg) should facilitate creation, display, and interaction, acting as both a canvas and catalyst for artistic expression. Participants are encouraged to transcend conventional gallery norms and design a space that integrates seamlessly with the urban context, enhancing its role as a central hub for the city’s artistic community.
