"When I came to Russia I understood for the first time that architecture was not about making shapes, or making buildings even, but that it was a profession that could define the content of society and it could intervene in shaping society. So it’s a very, in a way, ambitious interpretation of architecture, but when I saw the work of Russian architects of the 20s and 30s, I understood that that was their essence, that architecture was a way of scriptwriting, but with buildings rather than words."

The founder of OMA sits down with the veteran Russian-American journalist Vladimir Pozner for an extensive interview about the legacy of Soviet modernism, the city of the future, and post-human architecture.

Have you already checked our "Utopian Soviet Buildings" VR tours? Well, you now have an opportunity to revisit the hypothetical Moscow as we are inviting you for a walk alongside the Tverskoy Boulevard to explore some of the most prominent Avant-garde buildings!

You will see the tremendous horizontal skyscrapers created by El Lissitsky that were to mark the intersections of the boulevards and radial streets, the futuristic music theatre by Moisei Ginsburg, the author of the world-famous Narkomfin Building, and discover how the newspapers' headquarters were not only showcasing the architectural thought but also turned out to be exceptional examples of visual propaganda.

You will learn about the origins of the Avant-garde, its key figures and ideas.

What did Malevich have to do with architecture? Who was the first to conceive a rotating building? How long did Avant-garde last? We will look into these questions and more!
