Marking the centenary of the Russian Revolution, this exhibition
explores Moscow as it was imagined by a bold new generation of
architects and designers in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Drawing on rarely seen material, Imagine Moscow presents an idealistic
vision of the Soviet capital that was never realised. Large-scale
architectural drawings are supported by artwork, propaganda and
publications from the period. Taken together, these unbuilt projects
suggest an alternative reality for the city, offering a unique insight
into the culture of the time. Each of the projects presented in the
exhibition introduce a theme relevant to life and ideology in the Soviet
Union: collectivisation, urban planning, aviation, communication,
industrialisation, communal living and recreation.
