內容簡介
內容簡介 《CCCP：蘇聯宇宙建築攝影》——Frédéric Chaubin的冷戰未來遺跡（40週年版） 榮獲法國佩皮尼昂國際藝術書與電影節「年度建築書」肯定，Frédéric Chaubin《Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed》收錄前蘇聯14個加盟共和國、共90棟令人震撼的建築作品。在作者眼中，這些建築代表了蘇聯建築的「第四時代」——一股自1970年至1990年間悄然爆發、卻長期被忽略的建築浪潮。不同於1920年代或1950年代較明確的風格流派，這一時期並不存在單一主流，而是在體制衰敗之際，建築師趁著僵固結構鬆動，大膽越出現代主義框架：有人回返地方文化根源，有人則盡情實驗，發展出近乎失控卻又極具魅力的創造力。書中建築宛如一座座異想世界：有些完成了構成主義者夢寐以求的未來藍圖，如雅爾達的友誼療養院；有些則以近乎表現主義的姿態，釋放狂野想像，如提比里斯的婚禮宮。受月球基地草圖啟發的青年夏令營，展現出至上主義的影響；而蘇聯末期盛行的「會說話的建築」更令人難忘——基輔火葬場以混凝土火焰裝飾、基輔科學研究院屋頂彷彿墜落一艘飛碟、加里寧格勒的蘇維埃之家則像「老大哥」般凝視眾人。這些風格拼貼、造型離奇的建築，是崩解體制留下的壯麗殘骸；它們既見證了蘇聯遼闊疆域中的地方差異，也映照出帝國晚期網絡鬆動、身分認同重生的時代裂縫。同時，它們也凝固了那個年代最鮮明的意識形態夢想——從對宇宙的迷戀，到對未來與自我形象的再想像。Elected the architectural book of the year by the International Artbook and Film Festival in Perpignan, France, Frédéric Chaubin’s Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed explores 90 buildings in 14 former Soviet Republics. Each of these structures expresses what Chaubin considers the fourth age of Soviet architecture, an unknown burgeoning that took place from 1970 until 1990.Contrary to the 1920s and 1950s, no “school” or main trend emerges here. These buildings represent a chaotic impulse brought about by a decaying system. Taking advantage of the collapsing monolithic structure, architects went far beyond modernism, going back to the roots or freely innovating. Some of the daring ones completed projects that the Constructivists would have dreamt of (Druzhba Sanatorium, Yalta), others expressed their imagination in an expressionist way (Palace of Weddings, Tbilisi). A summer camp, inspired by sketches of a prototype lunar base, lays claim to Suprematist influence (Prometheus youth camp, Bogatyr). Then comes the “speaking architecture” widespread in the last years of the USSR: a crematorium adorned with concrete flames (Crematorium, Kiev), a technological institute with a flying saucer crashed on the roof (Institute of Scientific Research, Kiev), a political center watching you like Big Brother (House of Soviets, Kaliningrad).In their puzzle of styles, their outlandish strategies, these buildings are extraordinary remnants of a collapsing system.In their diversity and local exoticism, they testify both to the vast geography of the USSR and its encroaching end of the Soviet Union, the holes in a widening net. At the same time, they immortalize many of the ideological dreams of the country and its time, from an obsession with the cosmos to the rebirth of identity.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!
