Sonya Guimon was born in Moscow, and studied Art History at the Russian State University for the Humanities, and Architectural Theory at Madrid’s Superior Technical School for Architecture. She has worked for the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture and the Centre for Contemporary Architecture, organising exhibitions, lectures, festivals and publications. At Strelka, Sonya explored the problem of historic memory in the Moscow context, trying to understand how one ‘reads’ the ideologies and meanings behind particular buildings.
Sonya is currently working at the Green Design Society architectural practice.
