Renowned Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan’s birthday anniversary

Today, March 4, 2015, marks the 137th birthday anniversary of the father of neoclassical Armenian architecture Alexander Tamanyan.

In an interview with Tert.am, architect Sashur Kalashyan said:

“In no country can you find a monument to a city architect, but we have a monument to Tamanyan. This is evidence of his renown as well. But along with the formation of our Third Republic, we rejected out heritage, spiritual values were not important any longer, but material things were brought into the foreground. We knew Tamanyan as bearer of moral values.”
