The article is devoted to small wooden architecture forms and art objects in the urban environment of Kazan created within the last 5 years. Identification and fixation of these objects and their stylistic analysis will contribute to the history of Kazan’s modern architecture, art and design. The study of these objects makes it possible to define what equipment and techniques and which stylistic trend defines the practice of small architectural form design and decorative wooden sculpture which form the modern image of the urban environment and public spaces in Kazan.

The study records and describes the most important and extensive projects and objects and gives an idea of the diversity of plastic treatments and approaches to projects demonstrating that the small architecture forms and urban environment of Kazan are close to the modern-day trends in this field.

Material gathered in the framework of the study confirms the current trend in urban environment design, which is the prevailing usage of wood in small architecture forms and spatial decorative objects.
