Oleg Drozdov

Oleh Drozdov was born on September 12, 1966, in Volgodonsk (USSR).{{Cite web|date=2017-07-01|title=Архитектор Олег Дроздов о своём видении проблематики современной архитектуры|url=http://www.break-fast.com.ua/drozdov/|access-date=2021-11-03|website=Breakfast|language=ru-RU}} In 1990, he graduated from the Kharkiv Civil Engineering Institute, School of Architecture. While studying at the university, he and his colleagues implemented the first small projects. These were mostly interiors, small cafés and clubs.{{Cite web|date=2016-12-05|title=Архитектор Театра на Подоле Олег Дроздов: "Киев остается герметичным заповедником"|url=https://birdinflight.com/ru/portret/20161205-arhitektor-teatra-na-podole-oleg-drozdov.html|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Bird In Flight|language=ru-RU}}

In 1990, after graduating from the university, he was assigned to the city of Sumy (Ukraine), where he led an architectural design team in the office of the chief architect until 1993.

From 1991 to 1997, he pursued his career of an artist.

In 1996, Oleg Drozdov started his career in architecture and,  together with partners, founded an architectural office, ‘Atrium’. In 1997, ‘Atrium’ was reorganised, renamed and continued its work with new partners. Oleg became a founder and the Chief Architect of Drozdov&Partners, working in Ukraine and abroad. In Kharkiv, the landmark works of Drozdov&Partners include famous business centers Ave Plaza and Platinum Plaza, Yaske restaurant in Danylevskoho st., Status boutique in Sumska st., Prizma shopping centre in Nauky Ave., Heirloom office and residential building in Chernyshevska st., and Carat residential building in Potebni st.{{Cite web|title=Здание театра впишется в облик Андреевского|url=https://2day.kh.ua/news/zdanie-teatra-vpishetsya-v-oblik-andreevskogo|access-date=2021-11-03|website=2day.kh.ua|language=ru}}

Since 2008, the bureau is a branch of the Department of Fundamentals of Architecture of the Kharkiv National University of Construction and Architecture. It provides educational programs for students and interns, conducts lectures and seminars.{{Cite web|date=2018-09-19|title=Где рождается архитектура: в гостях у Drozdov & Partners|url=http://faqindecor.com/gde-rozhdaetsja-arhitektura-v-gostjah-u-drozdov-amp-partners/|access-date=2021-11-03|website=Faqindecor|language=ru-RU}}{{Cite web|title="Для площади Свободы есть лучший сценарий, чем самая большая парковка в центре", — архитектор Олег Дроздов|url=https://mykharkov.info/intervyu/dlya-ploshhadi-svobody-est-luchshij-stsenarij-chem-samaya-bolshaya-parkovka-v-tsentre-arhitektor-oleg-drozdov-79195.html|access-date=|website=mykharkov.info}}

In 2015, Oleg Drozdov was selected as an architect for the Theater on Podil in Kyiv. The Theatre was built under the patronage of the Roshen Corporation, which invested UAH 174 million.{{Cite web|title=Roshen инвестировал 174 млн грн в реконструкцию здания "Театра на Подоле"|url=https://interfax.com.ua/news/general/453509.html|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Интерфакс-Украина|language=ru}}

The theater has provoked much discussion and criticism because of its modernist architecture. Many citizens did not like the reconstruction of the building in the historical part of Kyiv, which caused outrage and protests.{{Cite web|last=Басакин|first=Алексей|date=2016-12-30|title=Киевляне требуют снести фасад театра, сделанный харьковским архитектором|url=https://www.newsroom.kh.ua/news/kievlyane-trebuyut-snesti-fasad-teatra-sdelannyy-harkovskim-arhitektorom|access-date=2021-11-12|website=www.newsroom.kh.ua|language=ru}}

At the same time, there were many defenders of the new theater building, who believed that the Podil area needed modern architecture and wondered why Kyivans did not accept modern art.{{Cite web|title=Место не для всех?
