England Vs Russia.

In the midst of todays footballing events I thought I should  touch on the architecture of these 2 countries. The history of the 2 date back many years but to think quickly the stand out architecture of Russia is the Constructivism and the Churches and Cathedrals of Renaissance Russian Architecture. 

St Balis Cathedral, Russia.

England is more renowned in the same era as having a Gothic Revival Architectural movement which can be seen in the Churches and Cathedrals and also the parliament buildings in Westminster, London.

Although this being said, the new modern forms or architecture there are little if not no modern Russian architects developing the world. On the other hand the English architects are doing their best to improve our everyday lives. The example below is by Fosters and Partners, and another building our architects are giving back to Russia.

Crystal Island, Moscow.

So sure, Russia have 'taken' the 2018 World Cup off of the more worthy candidates but we know that we can produce the better products.
