THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTIVISM CONCEPTS IN IVANOVO-VOZNESENSK IN THE 1920S-1930S
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
We study the specific features of new public building construction types in post-revolutionary Russia in Ivanovo-Voznesensk in 1920–1930s. That time the city acquired the administrative status of the centre of new life. This status meant the development of appropriate infrastructure and the integration of the urban area into a plan to realise world-class architectural and engineering ideas. The plans of the socialist construction provided for a complex architectural design of the city, which represents «the ideology of the proletariat» and «powerful tool of class struggle». The active development of textile production and the growth of the urban population along with the transformation of the national way of life caused this change. The projects of the country's leading and local architects, focusing on the functional and structural basis of buildings, laid the foundations of the constructivist manifesto in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, the birthplace of the First Council of Revolutionary Russia. This article considers architectural propaganda projects - factory and housing estates that were designed as ideological centres of urban space.

Keywords:
constructivism, architectural projects of Ivanovo-Voznesensk, ideology, “House-bullet”, “Horseshoe”-house, “House-ship”, the Spinning building of the factory “Krasnaya Talka”, the building of F.E. Dzerzhinsky factory
