Explore 90 buildings across 14 former Soviet Republics, capturing the essence of what Fr√ ©d√ ©ric Chaubin considers the fourth age of Soviet architecture, spanning from 1970 to 1990. Unlike previous eras, no singular trend dominates this period, showcasing a chaotic burst of creativity within a decaying system. Architects, unrestrained by a monolithic structure, embraced diverse influences, ranging from modernism to expressionism.
The book features a variety of daring projects, including a lunar-inspired summer camp, a crematorium adorned with concrete flames, and a political center resembling Big Brother. These structures, with their puzzle of styles and outlandish designs, stand as extraordinary remnants of a collapsing system, immortalizing both the vast geography of the USSR and the ideological dreams of the time.
