SPEECH is a Russian architectural office. It was founded in 2006 by architects Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov. The bureau specializes in designing buildings and complexes with various functional purposes, developing urban concepts, as well as designing interiors. Projects by SPEECH have been implemented in numerous cities in Russia (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and others) as well as abroad (Berlin, Milan, Venice, Minsk).
SPEECH architectural office was formed in 2006 as a joint project of the architects Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov through the merger of two companies – Tchoban and Partners and S. P. Project. Initially the bureau was called SPEECH Tchoban / Kuznetsov, but after Sergey Kuznetsov was appointed Chief Architect of Moscow in 2012 and left the company, Sergei Tchoban became the sole architect and managing partner, and the name of the bureau was shortened to SPEECH.
SPEECH architectural office has extensive experience in the development of architectural and urban planning concepts and design projects. In particular, the company worked on the following:
Projects by SPEECH have been featured at prestigious exhibition venues, including the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow, Arch Moscow exhibition, the International Investment Forum in Sochi, Aedes Gallery in Berlin, MIPIM international exhibition of investment projects in Cannes, and the Venice Architecture Biennale.
The co-founders of the SPEECH bureau, architects Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov, twice were curators of the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture. In 2010, they (together with Pavel Khoroshilov and Grigory Revzin) presented the project Russia Factory; the concept was developed and implemented by SPEECH in the small town of Vyshny Volochyok. In 2012, the activities of the Skolkovo foundation were presented at the pavilion’s exhibition (together with Grigory Revzin and Valeria Kashirina). The project i-city / i-land for the first time in Russian history received an award at the Venice Biennale of Architecture – a special mention of the jury, and also received awards from Iconic Awards in 2013 and Interior Design's Best of Year Awards 2013.
