Abstract
To understand Armenia's cultural resilience, whose architectural tradition has been defined under the many exogenous dominations that followed one another, we begin here with an investigation of two of the most famous pieces of Armenian architecture built during the Soviet period, which were able to integrate modernist instances with traditional realities. Gevorg Kochar and Michael Mazmanyan, unintentional actors in the tensions between central power and local identity, were able to reinterpret the traditional architectural world by bringing it closer to the Soviet lines imposed by the regime. A composite heritage to be safeguarded, in order to avoid losing traits of the memory of the 1900s, suitable for composing a scenario of different seasons that today is more necessary than ever.
