Perm is the capital of Perm Krai, an eastern region of Russia. It was well known as an industrial town that manufactured rockets during the Second World War. Perm is a transport hub as it is well connected to Kazan and Moscow through the road network, the Trans-Siberian railways pass through it and the Kama river that bisects the city forms a convenient water transport channel. It has transformed itself into an arts and culture hub with an opera and ballet theater and museums. The upcoming cultural city invites artists and designers from around the world to modify the bleak defense cityscape into a vibrant space. In this light, here are the top architects and interior designers from Perm who are adding to the built fabric.
