Biography

edit

Oleh Drozdov was born on September 12, 1966, in Volgodonsk (USSR).[3] In 1990, he graduated from the Kharkiv Civil Engineering Institute, School of Architecture.[2] While studying at the university, he and his colleagues implemented the first small projects. These were mostly interiors, small cafés and clubs.[4]

In 1990, after graduating from the university, he was assigned to the city of Sumy (Ukraine), where he led an architectural design team in the office of the chief architect until 1993.

From 1991 to 1997, he pursued his career of an artist.

Architecture

edit

In 1996, Oleg Drozdov started his career in architecture and,  together with partners, founded an architectural office, ‘Atrium’. In 1997, ‘Atrium’ was reorganised, renamed and continued its work with new partners. Oleg became a founder and the Chief Architect of Drozdov&Partners, working in Ukraine and abroad. In Kharkiv, the landmark works of Drozdov&Partners include famous business centers Ave Plaza and Platinum Plaza, Yaske restaurant in Danylevskoho st., Status boutique in Sumska st., Prizma shopping centre in Nauky Ave., Heirloom office and residential building in Chernyshevska st., and Carat residential building in Potebni st.[5]

Since 2008, the bureau is a branch of the Department of Fundamentals of Architecture of the Kharkiv National University of Construction and Architecture. It provides educational programs for students and interns, conducts lectures and seminars.[6][7]

Theater on Podil, Ukraine

edit

In 2015, Oleg Drozdov was selected as an architect for the Theater on Podil in Kyiv. The Theatre was built under the patronage of the Roshen Corporation, which invested UAH 174 million.[8]

The theater has provoked much discussion and criticism because of its modernist architecture. Many citizens did not like the reconstruction of the building in the historical part of Kyiv, which caused outrage and protests.[9]

At the same time, there were many defenders of the new theater building, who believed that the Podil area needed modern architecture and wondered why Kyivans did not accept modern art.[10][11][12]

In 2018, the reconstruction project of the Podil Theater won the Grand Prix of the Ukrainian Urban Awards architectural competition and took the first prize in the Architecture of Cultural and Social Objects category.[13]

In 2019, the restored building of the Theater in Podil was nominated for the European Architectural Award Mies van der Rohe Award 2019.[14][15][8][16]

Educational Projects

edit

In 2011, Oleg Drozdov co-authored and reviewed the Spring Semester Studio Workshop on Urban Design for students of the School of Architecture, Columbia University GSAPP.[8]

In 2017, on the initiative of Oleg Drozdov, the Kharkiv School of Architecture was founded. It is a private school for architects and urban planners. Drozdov is a co-founder of the Kharkiv School of Architecture and a lecturer at the Department of Architecture and Urbanism. This is the first private architectural school in independent Ukraine. It was funded by eight businessmen from Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa. The Kharkiv School of Architecture is licensed to award the Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and Urbanism.[17][18][19]

In 2020, the Kharkiv School of Architecture announced a competition "Be an Architect" for high school students from all over Ukraine. The prizes were certificates for studying architecture at civil engineering and construction universities and participating in the School’s programs.[20]
