Soviet Architectural Avant-Gardes
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-28842-3 (ISBN)
Exploring iconic Soviet architecture including the Palace of Soviets and the Soviet Pavilion at the Paris 1937 World Exposition, and revealing many remarkable works that until now have been neglected by architectural historians inside and outside Russia, Soviet Architectural Avant-Gardes provides a revealing new account of the ‘hidden’ modernism which persisted through Stalinism. In a fascinating final chapter, it also reveals for the first time the details of Frank Lloyd Wright’s triumphant welcome in Moscow in 1937, at the height of Stalin’s Terror.
Danilo Udovicki-Selb holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is Professor of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, USA.
