Imagine Moscow: Architecture, Propaganda, Revolution

Idealistic visions of the Soviet capital that were never realised.Published at the centenary of the Russian Revolution, `Imagine Moscow: Architecture, Propaganda, Revolution` portrays Moscow as it was envisioned by a bold generation of architects in the 1920s and early 1930s. Through evocative imagery and a wealth of rarely seen material, this book provides a window into an idealistic fantasy of the Soviet capital that was never realised and has since been largely forgotten.Focusing on six unbuilt architectural landmarks, `Imagine Moscow` explores how these projects reflected changes in everyday life and society following the revolution, during one of the most fascinating periods of the twentieth century. Large-scale architectural plans, models and drawings are placed alongside propaganda posters, textiles and porcelain, contextualising the transformation of a city reborn as the new capital of the USSR and the international centre of socialism.
