Project Description

What exactly was Russian design, and what was later Soviet design? For too long, objective reflection on relevant narratives in the history of popular design has been lacking.
In the process of radical evolution, the biggest impetus for change is large-scale industry and technologicalism. The Soviet design thought burst out a dazzling "spark" in the fierce collision between going to the technological future and sticking to the spiritual homeland. These have influenced the entire Soviet design history and even the larger social history. The contradiction and complexity reflected in the design history of Soviet Russia is extremely rare, because it is a brave attempt by countless people to construct a new world in a special era.
