The imposing monumental buildings projected by the famous Soviet architect Lev Rudnev cannot but leave a lasting impression of stern beauty and might. His giants of the Moscow State University (MSU) and the Frunze Military Academy make up a specific face of the capital of Russia.

Lev Vladimirovich Rudnev was born on March 13, 1885 into a teacher’s family in the town of Opochka. He graduated a college and an art school in Riga (Latvia) and in 1906 entered the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg.

During his studies already Rudnev started his architecture design and building construction practice. Along with academic classes he gained deeper perception of classical Russian architecture while working as an assistant in the architect Fomin’s workshop. The very first independent project of the student Rudnev attracted attention of the Association of Architect Artists.

As part of a cross-cultural course led by Tom Klinkowstein, had weekly conversations with Armin Parr at the Academy of Art and Design in St. Joost. As a prelude to a larger project proposal, this informational poster outlines the need to deconstruct the opaque language and graphics used in annual reports and the like. By presenting information with a little more uncertainty, it invites a more critical approach from the audience.

Final pitch took the form of a monthly workshop to help increase literacy in both statistics and visual argumentation.
