Sculpture "The Architect"

Sculpture "The Architect"

2 min. to read

Sculpture "The Architect" in Minsk is one of the most famous works by Belarusian sculptor Vladimir Zhbanov. Installed in 2007 in honor of the Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus, it symbolizes the architectural development of the city. The composition reflects the evolution of Minsk – from the wooden castle of the 12th century to monumental buildings such as the Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater. The three-meter figure of the architect is depicted in a moment of creative thought, holding a roll of blueprints in his hand. Located near the building of the Committee of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Minsk City Executive Committee, the sculpture is dedicated to architects of all times who contributed to the appearance of the capital. "The Architect" attracts the attention of both tourists and locals and is one of Minsk's landmarks. Vladimir Zhbanov's unique style, combining interactivity and accessibility, makes his works popular among people of all ages, turning them into must-see photography objects. The "Architect" sculpture embodies the idea of Minsk's continuous development and respect for its architectural heritage, from ancient times to the present.
