The appearance of the palace is associated with the beginning of the era of modern architecture, which is characterized by lightness, modularity and quick erection. Later, the ideas of light and strong structures were developed by the Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov, whose name is closely associated with Vyksa.

Taking inspiration from Shukhov's architecture, Aleksey created a series of graphic sheets, as well as animation, with the help of a drawing board and stencils. The structure of Khamkin's graphic images is based on a module, which, repeating many times, forms a semblance of an architectural or engineering object. Plans and silhouettes of facades of houses and industrial buildings in Vyksa became the basis for this work.

«Vyksa has excellent conditions for creativity, so the residence turned out to be productive, I worked hard and implemented the conceived project. The city itself was a pleasant surprise. I knew little about Vyksa, I represented a classic city with a large factory, with typical Soviet buildings. But I saw a lot of interesting things here. The characteristic houses with a gable roof are perhaps the most memorable. Perhaps this project will be continued in other cities where I have yet to visit,» says the artist.
