“Dom” means a house, home, a building or a household in the Russian language. For her project Julia Borissova chose the particular type of the house, so-called "Khruschyovka". They were built in Russia in the era of Khrushchev. After Stalin’s Empire they look like architectural degradation. But, in fact, Khruschyov was the first who realized the idea of mass housing construction. Now they are going to be demolished as they have served their time. Nobody admires them, just on the contrary – they arouse only censure of the architectural squalor and inconvenience of living conditions. But a lot of Russian people still live in these houses so she decided that they deserve to be the heroes of her project.LINKS |
