My Take
What fascinates me about Tchoban is the gap between scale and intimacy in his work. The same man who put up Moscow's Federation Tower also founded a whole museum in Berlin devoted to architectural drawing, the most ephemeral, throwaway stage of design. That tells me he respects the hand and the line as much as the steel and glass, which is rarer than you'd think among builders of giants. Straddling Russia and Germany, he carries two traditions without flattening either. I read him as a craftsman who never let ambition crowd out delicacy, and I find that balance genuinely admirable.
