Description
Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frédéric Chaubin explores 90 buildings in 14 former Soviet Republics, showcasing a unique architectural era that defies traditional categorization. From 1970 to 1990, architects responded to the collapse of the Soviet system by innovating and experimenting with styles, resulting in a diverse range of structures that blend modernism, expressionism, and even Suprematist influences. These extraordinary buildings, including a crematorium adorned with concrete flames and a technological institute with a flying saucer on its roof, are a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the architects who designed them. By examining these structures, Chaubin sheds light on the fourth age of Soviet architecture, a period marked by chaos and experimentation. Through its extensive collection of photographs, Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed provides a fascinating glimpse into the final years of the USSR, revealing the complex and often contradictory nature of Soviet architecture during this time.
