Modernist Architecture Archive
Lev Rudnev’s “City of the Future” (1925), before his turn to Stalinist neo-Classicism
An update on the Modernist Architecture Archive/Database I discussed a couple posts ago. I’ve begun work on it, and have uploaded almost half of the documents I intend to include. Only a few of the Russian ones are up yet, but I’m hoping to post them over the next couple days. There are many more on the way.
However, this might not be the most convenient way to browse through it all. For a more manageable overall view of each of the individual articles (detailing the author, title, and year of publication), click here.
To beat your enemy you have to know him and his background, so this is useful stuff. I hope to someday write an essay for the PRI-Australia blog about Le Corbusier as the architectural counterpart of Norman Borlaug: http://permaculture.org.au/2010/01/07/the-looming-food-crisis-and-the-food-2030-report/
I’m sure your archive will help me a lot!
