Strelka Institute

During this nine-month post-graduate programme, the researchers explore the issues related to Russia's urban development through a multidisciplinary method conducted in English.

Some notable faculty[5] at the Strelka Institute has been : Keller Easterling, Benjamin H. Bratton, Winy Maas, Joseph Grima, Reinier De Graaf, Carlo Ratti, and Rem Koolhaas.

KB’s method is based on the implementation of transparent competition procedures, involving international experts, forecasting of expenses, and risk analysis at the early stages of project realisation.

[9] Despite transparency efforts, KB Strelka's urbanisation projects in different cities in Russia have received criticism for the costs and the methods employed; such as the violent clearing of small street kiosks, corruption or incompetent design.

Its programme includes: lectures by prominent architects, urbanists, designers, social activists and scholars; discussions on topical urban issues; workshops; film screenings; theatre performances; concerts and fairs.
