Ukoliko je arhitektura ,,zaleđena muzika’’, onda su fasade kuća kompozicije. Istražujemo arhitekturu postsovjetskog prostora, od drvene arhitekture do baroka i klasike, od Art Nuvoa do staljinističke i hruščovljeve arhitekture, čiji se tragovi nalaze u savremenim zgradama poznatim kao ,,ljudskim mravinjacima’’. Na taj način, pokušavamo da razumijemo kako bi vjekovima stare simfonije zvučale i izgledale, i još važnije, pronalazimo taj nepremostivi konflikt između ličnosti i mase, jedinstvenog i tipičnog, koji se odražava čak i ,,u kamenu’’.
If architecture is “frozen music”, then the façades of houses are its score. We explore the architecture of the post-Soviet space, from wooden architecture to Baroque and classicism, from Art Nouveau to Stalinist and Khrushchev architecture, traces of which are found in the modern panel buildings known as “human anthills”. By doing so, we are trying to understand how this centuries-old symphony could sound and look, and most importantly, we find that irreconcilable conflict of personality and mass, the unique and the typical, that is reflected even “in stone”.
