When reviewing the typological theories epitomized by M.Ya.Ginzburg and architects of his circle and generation, that significantly affected the advances in the Soviet architecture and still influence architectural practice, historical and theoretical studies in Russia, one could distinguish certain determined by professional training and experience relations between those doctrines and theoretical principles and practical skills elaborated by academic schools and grounded in architectural and building tradition of the centures. Brought to light by recent historical studies this intimate connection between academic tradition and modernism, that was born to negate the former, provides the continuity in historical swing of architecture. Applied to the history of the Soviet architecture it questions not so much the nuances in stylistic or theoretical resemblances or distinctions between the Soviet constructivism and modernism, as those ideological bounds that form two branches of one integral current in the evolvement of architecture of the twentieth century. Whereas the theoretical principles and practical means of academic tradition borrowed and developed with equal facility by modernism and constructivism ensure, as it seems, certain coherance between the two strands, the ideological component of these currents more likely points to specific distinctions. In this respect the study of the relationship between typology and ideology in Ginzburg's work appears to be notable. |
