The project was undertaken in partnership with <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/13470813/ralph-appelbaum-associates" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ralph Appelbaum Associates</a> who, together, formed the only international team amongst the four final designs. The design sees an elegant spiral, buried in the landscape, reaching up from the exhibitions which are buried in a vast cavern underground. The route corkscrews out the top of the riverside, reaching outwards to give views over the new St. Petersburg.</p> <figure><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ij/ij5q6xnbesv7cp76.jpg?fit=crop&amp;auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514&amp;dpr=2"><figcaption>Images credit to: Brick Visuals</figcaption></figure><p><strong></strong>The Museum for the Defense and Siege of Leningrad and its several components form a powerful spatial composition, connecting to the character and history of the city.
