Landscapes of Communism by Hatherley, Owen
Landscapes of Communism: A History Through Buildings
by Hatherley, Owen
 
When communism took power in Eastern Europe it remade cities in its own image, creating sweeping boulevards and vast, epic housing estates. Owen Hatherley here traces the sharp, sudden zigzags of official communist architectural style: the superstitious despotic rococo of high Stalinism; East Germany’s obsession with prefabricated concrete panels; and the metro systems of Moscow and Prague, spectacular vindications of public space that went further than any avant-garde ever dared.
