Abstract

Though strenuously avoiding the ‘Modernist’ and ‘International Style’ labels, postwar USSR, along with its Western counterparts, plunged headlong into a system‐building programme. Today, Russians know of virtually no other form of housing and, as photographer Bee Flowers observes, the construction sector continues to produce ever larger buildings, for no apparent reason other than habit.
