Panteleimon Golosov

Russian architect (1882–1945)

Panteleimon Golosov belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Panteleimon Golosov as Russian architect (1882–1945).

Panteleimon Golosov was born at Moscow in 1882. His recorded nationality is Russian Empire. He trained at Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.

Modernism rejected ornament and historical style, arguing that a building should express its structure and its function - a claim contested ever since.

He is recorded as artist and architect.

His work is associated with neoclassicism.

Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.

That the work was built in Russian Empire shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Panteleimon Golosov died in 1945, aged 63. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
