Levon Melikyan —
Selected Works

Levon Melikyan began his architectural career in the early 1970s
at the YerevanProekt Institute, where he worked for over twenty
years on civic, infrastructure, and urban projects at a scale
rarely encountered in private practice. The work documented here
spans that period, the years of the “ART” Architecture and
Planning Cooperative, his engagement with Diran & Masri in
Jordan, and his commission for the Armenian diplomatic compound in
Ashkhabad — a body of work produced across five decades and three
countries.

Many of the drawings shown are original plansheet photographs
from the Soviet period, assembled side by side as was customary
for presentation at the time. They are reproduced here as
documents of record.

Attribution in Soviet institutional practice did not always
reflect individual contribution. Where Levon participated as part
of the official design team without receiving authorship credit,
this is noted. Credits are given as documented in original
institute records, with Levon’s consistent preference to list his
collaborators — and in particular his mentor Stepan Kyurkchyan —
first.
