Stalin's Architect

Power and Survival in Moscow
BuchGebunden

Englisch
Thames & Hudsonerschienen am28.04.2022
The first biography to trace the remarkable life and career of Ukrainian-born Boris Iofan, beautifully illustrated with many of Iofan´s previously unseen sketchbooks and photographs from private collections. This is a history of architecture, politics and power. Boris Iofan (1891-1976) made his mark as Stalin´s architect, both in the grand projects he achieved, such as the House on the Embankment, a megastructure of 505 homes for the Soviet elite, and through his unbuilt designs, in particular the Palace of the Soviets, a baroque Stalinist dream whose iconic image was reproduced throughout the Soviet Union. Iofan´s life and designs offer a unique perspective into the politics of twentieth-century architecture and the history of the Soviet Union.mehr

'Gorgeous pencil sketches ... a breezy and readable text accessible to a broader, non-specialist audience ... [Sudjic] deals with the cascade of names and denunciations, political shifts and relationships with agility and ease' - Edwin Heathcote, The Art Newspapermehr
