The Very Best of Strange Soviet Architecture
Not long after Tolstoy immortalized Anna’s affair with Count Vronsky, the old Russian regime collapsed, and an era of extreme artistic inquiry ensued. We’ve explored the experimental style that represents the ideological dreams and chaotic impulses of a stifled society; from retro-future research institutes and vacation spots to a wedding palace, click through to check out the very best of strange Soviet architecture.

The Lost Art…

IT has become fashionable in many architectural circles to declare the death of drawing. What has happened to our profession, and our art, to cause the supposed end of our most powerful means of conceptualizing and representing architecture?
The computer, of course. With its tremendous ability to organize and present data, the computer is transforming every aspect of how architects work, from sketching their first impressions of an idea to creating complex construction documents for contractors. For centuries, the noun “digit” (from the Latin “digitus”) has been defined as “finger,” but now its adjectival form, “digital,” relates to data. Are our hands becoming obsolete as creative tools? Are they being replaced by machines? And where does that leave the architectural creative process?

The Third and the Seventh is one of the most incredible films I have ever seen.

That’s a profound statement, so let me back up a bit and give you some background. The Third and the Seventh is a 12 minute movie by Alex Roman, a Spanish artist who began doing computer graphics work for a visual effects company in Madrid before getting into the architectural visualization business. Roman became frustrated with the way that client preferences and demands colored images of completed buildings. He took a year-long sabbatical to create a more “pure commercial illustration” of his favorite architectural creations from around the world. The Third and the Seventh is the culmination of this work.
