What would an architect sacrifice for the chance to build the tallest building in the world and survive Stalin’s purges? This first major publication on Boris Iofan (1891–1976), state architect to Joseph Stalin, offers a compelling insight into the complex relationship between successful architects and power. A talented designer and devoted Communist, Iofan rose to prominence after being persuaded to return to Moscow from Rome with his wife, Olga Sasso-Ruffo. His work is essential to understanding Soviet official culture, especially after Stalin’s regime suppressed the architectural avant-garde. Iofan established a new national style, exemplified by significant projects like the House on the Embankment, a vast residential complex for the elite, and the ambitious, unbuilt Palace of the Soviets, a baroque Stalinist vision widely disseminated across the USSR. His career spanned cities like New York and Paris, and he engaged with notable figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright, while contending with rivals like Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius. Though he witnessed the execution of friends, including Rykov, Iofan adhered strictly to Stalin’s directives in crafting the regime’s architectural landmarks. Richly illustrated with unpublished materials, this book explores architecture as a tool of statecraft and provides a unique perspective on pivotal moments in 20th-century politics and culture, alongside the personal narrative of a remarkab

What would an architect risk for the chance to construct the tallest building in the world? This publication delves into the extraordinary life of Boris Iofan (1891-1976), the state architect under Joseph Stalin. Iofan's journey reveals the complex relationship between successful architects and power. A talented designer and committed Communist, he became the Soviet Union's leading architect after being persuaded to return to Moscow from Rome with his wife, Olga Sasso-Ruffo. His work is crucial for understanding Soviet official culture, especially as he created a new national style when the architectural avant-garde was suppressed. Notable projects include the House on the Embankment, a vast complex for the Soviet elite, and the ambitious, though unbuilt, Palace of the Soviets, a baroque Stalinist vision. Iofan's career spanned cities like New York and Paris, and he engaged with influential figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright while contending with rivals like Le Corbusier. Despite witnessing the execution of friends, including Alexei Rykov, he adhered to Stalin's directives, sacrificing his own artistic vision to fulfill the regime's ambitions. Richly illustrated and featuring unpublished material, this exploration highlights architecture as a tool of statecraft and offers a unique perspective on pivotal moments in 20th-century politics and culture through Iofan's remarkable story.

What makes a city? Is it a place or an idea? How should we define the city as it evolves today? Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape the urban spaces around us, from their buildings to their names, from the power of crowds to why being a Londoner, New Yorker or Muscovite can offer a sense of identity greater than any other.

Tato kniha není slovník, ačkoli se z ní dozvíte informace o všem od autenticity až po zipy. Není to ani autobiografie, třebaže předkládá zevrubný a vysoce osobní odborný názor na současnou kulturu. Je to nepostradatelný nástroj, který čtenáři pomůže lépe porozumět modernímu světu. V této knize se píše o tom, co z díla Andyho Warhola dělá pravý padělek, o vzniku národních identit nebo o sběratelské mánii. Pojednává o světě, tak jak je vidět ze zpětného zrcátka ve videohře Grand Theft Auto V, o digitálních ornamentech a o naší lásce k nedokonalostem. Je o popíjení suchého martini ve vídeňském podniku Adolfa Loose American Bar a o architektuře ve filmech Alfreda Hitchcocka, o módě a technologii, politice a umění.
