Schools of Architecture
In this book you will find another manifestation of this sub-culture. It takes the form of a report on a competition entitled 'The school of architecture as a subject of design', in which architectural students were invited to design a school of architecture for the future. The organizer, the Netherlands Architecture Institute, received over 400 entries from all over the world, from China to Mexico, from Sweden to Australia. In addition to the space devoted to the winning designs, the book also provides a qualitative and quantitative overview of the entries. In analysing the variety of answers to the competition brief it offers a fascinating insight into the ambitions and dreams of a future generation of architects.
Desire for space
Unusual apartments, restaurants, and shops show how young Russian architects fulfill the desires of their capricious clientele for individuality, and why the Russian "desire for space" knows no bounds today.
Project Russia
Showcases and discusses the newest architectural trends between Kaliningrad and Vladivostok.
Капреализм
This selection of over 50 projects, presented in large-scale photos as well as complementary ground-floor plans and sketches, communicates a differentiated impression of post-Soviet architecture, ranging from the picturesque Vodka Pavilion in the Ostoshenka Forest to the futuristic Main Railway Station in Samara. Capitalist Realism focuses on the artistic aspect of architecture in today's Russia and has some architectural surprises in store for the reader. A critical insight into the Russian architectural scene that we don't yet know
The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion
With contributions from over fifty architects, planners, geographers, historians, and journalists, The Arsenal offers a wide-ranging view of the forces that shape our cities. Who gets to be where? The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion examines some of the policies, practices, and physical artifacts that have been used by planners, policymakers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists, and other urban actors in the United States to draw, erase, or redraw the lines that divide. The Arsenal inventories these weapons of exclusion and inclusion, describes how they have been used, and speculates about how they might be deployed (or retired) for the sake of more open cities in which mor...
The New Russian Book
This book takes up the obtrusive problem of visual representation of fiction in contemporary Russian book design. By analyzing a broad variety of book covers, the study offers an absolutely unique material that illustrates a radically changing notion of literature in the transformation of Soviet print culture to a post-Soviet book market. It delivers a profound and critical exploration of Russian visual imaginary of classic, popular, and contemporary prose. Among all the carelessly bungled covers of mass-published post-Soviet series the study identifies gems from experimental designers. By taking a comparative approach to the clash of two formerly separate book cultures, the Western and the Soviet, that results both in a mixture of highbrow and lowbrow forms and in ideological re-interpretations of the literary works, this book contributes to opening an East-West dialogue between the fields of Russian studies, contemporary book and media history, art, design, and visual studies.
Architecture and Revolution
Architecture and Revolution explores the consequences of the 1989 revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe from an architectural perspective. It presents new writings from a team of renowned architects, philosophers and cultural theorists from both the East and the West. They explore the questions over the built environment that now face architects, planners and politicians in the region. They examine the problems of buildings inherited from the communist era: some are environmentally inadequate, many were designed to serve a now redundant social programme and others carry the stigma of association with previous regimes. Contributors include: Daniel Libeskind, Bernard Tschumi, Laura Mulvey, Helene Cixous, Andrew Benjamin and Frederic Jameson.
New Revolution in Russian Architecture
For international architecture critics, Russia is unmapped territory. Contemporary architecture in Moscow, St Petersburg and regional Russia, however, is well worth exploring in depth. The over fifty architecture projects and designs in this volume New Revolution RUSSIAN ARCHITECTURE showcase a Russia that is moving from its Soviet past and blazing new trails in architecture. Based on their extensive inside knowledge of the Russia architectural scene, the two authors have assembled a selection of striking, unusual or typical buildings in five chapters covering International Style in Russia, Russian Roots, Post-Soviet Modernism and Russian Nostalgia. Teo introductory essays discuss Russian architecture since 1995 in the international context.
