| Popis: | During the rule of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) the built environment was filled with meaning and ideological communication. Since its collapse, much of Soviet style architecture and design is being masked over or destroyed. In order to preserve this significant period in human history the architecture and design must be studied in relation to the sociopolitical climate of the era in which it was created. Hence, through an understanding of the sociopolitical culture throughout the USSR’s history and the architecture and design erected from those periods we can better understand the role of the built environment as a means of ideological communication. |
