“Parallel Architecture” by Andrey Bokov
„Параллельная архитектура“ оттепели и застоя. Визионеры последнего советского тридцатилетия / “Parallel Architecture” of the Thaw and Stagnation Periods: Visionaries of the Final Three Soviet Decades by Andrey Bokov is dedicated to the unknown and informal design and intellectual activities of Soviet architects of the 1960s–1980s.
From publisher Garage (Museum of Contemporary Art):
«Parallel architecture» was a result of personal and group activity by architects who did not fit into the system of large design institutes and standard projects. Parallel architecture comprised pictures of the future, individual responses to the challenge of the time, new images and meanings that, over time, would become popular and generally accepted. The book discusses those involved in parallel architecture and the forms their activity took, including participation in competitions, working at the seminars Senezhskaya Studio and Interdesign, designs for the City of the Future and children’s architectural studios.
