  • Theories of Architecture Lecture-8- Architecture in the Beginnings of 20Th Century 1915- 1930
    Theories of Architecture Lecture-8- Architecture in the beginnings of 20th century 1915- 1930 CONSTRUCTIVISM Prepared by Tara Azad Rauof This lecture Context: The Origin Characteristics of Constructivism A revolution in architecture Famous Constructivism Pioneers Constructivism [The Origin]: Constructivist architecture emerged from the wider constructivist art movement, which grew out of Russian Futurism in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and early 1930s. After the Russian Revolution of 1917 it turned its attentions to the new social demands and industrial tasks required of the new regime. Two distinguished approach emerged, the first was encapsulated in Antoine Pevsner's and Naum Gabo's Realist manifesto which was concerned with space and rhythm, the second represented those who argued for pure art and the Productivists, a more socially-oriented group who wanted this art to be absorbed in industrial production such as Vladimir Tatlin. A central aim of the Constructivists was instilling the avant-garde in everyday life. From 1927 they worked on projects for Workers' Clubs, communal leisure facilities usually built in factory districts. Among the most famous of these are the Kauchuk, Svoboda and Rusakov clubs. Characteristics of Constructivism: * Combined engineering and technology with political ideology. * Constructivist art had attempted to apply a three-dimensional cubist vision to wholly abstract non-objective 'constructions' with a characterized by movement element. * Technological details such as signs, and projection screens * Abstract geometric shapes. * Glass and steel * The term Constructivism has frequently been used since the 1920s, in a looser fashion, to evoke a continuing tradition of geometric abstract art constructed from autonomous visual elements such as lines and planes.

Before Shukhovs’s reservoirs, oil was stored in drums and ponds and polluted the environment and soil. At the end of XIX, oil and oil products in the USA and Europe were stored in square tanks. The construc- tion office of Alexander Bari, where Shukhov was a Chief Engineer and a business partner, had built over 20,000 cylindrical reservoirs. Nowadays there are hun- dreds of thousands of reservoirs built all over the world using Shukhov’s design.

  • Adventures in the Soviet Imaginary: Children’S Books and Graphic Art
    Adventures in the Soviet Imaginary: Children’s Books and Graphic Art Twenty years after the demise of the Soviet Union, its culture continues to fascinate and mystify. Like other modern states, the Soviet Union exercised its power not only through direct coercion, but also through a vast media system that drew on the full power and range of modern technologies and aesthetic techniques. This media system not only served as a tool of central power, but also provided a relatively open space where individuals could construct their own meanings and identities. Children’s books and posters were two of the primary media through which a distinct Soviet imaginary was created, disseminated, and reinterpreted. Benefiting from the energy of young artists and from technological innovations in production, both media provided attractive and affordable products in huge print runs, sometimes reaching the hundreds of thousands. Despite the massive scale of production, their direct address and interactive construction encouraged a sense of individual autonomy, even as they enforced a sense of social belonging. Soviet images were unusually intensive, communicating enormous amounts of cultural information with immediacy and verve. But they were also extensive, achieving broad distribution through society, constantly being copied, reiterated, and transposed from one medium to another. While elite artists continued to exercise leadership in traditional media, professional graphic artists brought formal and thematic innovations into such mundane spaces as the workplace, the barracks, the school, and even the nursery. Thus Soviet cultural identity was shaped not only through state ideology and propaganda, but also through everyday activities that could be edifying, productive, and even fun.

This area of research, which has been called architectural geometry, meanwhile contains a great wealth of individual contributions which are relevant in various fields. For mathematicians, the relation to discrete differential geometry is significant, in particular the integrable system viewpoint. Besides, new application contexts have become available for quite some old-established concepts.

  • Building the Revolution. Soviet Art and Architecture, 1915
    Press Dossier ”la Caixa” Social Outreach Programmes discovers at CaixaForum Madrid the art and architecture from the 1920s and 30s Building the Revolution. Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935 The Soviet State that emerged from the 1917 Russian Revolution fostered a new visual language aimed at building a new society based on the socialist ideal. The decade and a half that followed the Revolution was a period of intense activity and innovation in the field of the arts, particularly amongst architects, marked by the use of pure geometric forms. The new State required new types of building, from commune houses, clubs and sports facilities for the victorious proletariat, factories and power stations in order to bring ambitious plans for industrialisation to fruition, and operations centres from which to implement State policy and to broadcast propaganda, as well as such outstanding monuments as Lenin’s Mausoleum. Building the Revolution. Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935 illustrates one of the most exceptional periods in the history of architecture and the visual arts, one that is reflected in the engagement of such constructivist artists as Lyubov Popova and Alexander Rodchenko and and Russian architects like Konstantin Melnikov, Moisei Ginzburg and Alexander Vesnin, as well as the European architects Le Corbusier and Mendelsohn. The exhibition features some 230 works, including models, artworks (paintings and drawings) and photographs, featuring both vintage prints from the 1920s and 30s and contemporary images by the British photographer Richard Pare. Building the Revolution. Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935 , is organised by the Royal Academy of Arts of London in cooperation with ”la Caixa” Social Outreach Programmes and the SMCA-Costakis Collection of Thessaloniki.

  • Shukhov Tower Watch Day to Be Held on March 19 and 20 in Moscow
    SHUKHOV TOWER WATCH DAY TO BE HELD ON MARCH 19 AND 20 IN MOSCOW Two-Day Event Celebrates Shukhov Tower’s 94th Anniversary and Launch of Petition to Save the Modern Icon Press Conference to Discuss Issues Facing Shukhov Tower to be Held on March 19 NEW YORK, NEW YORK/MOSCOW, RUSSIA, March 9, 2016— A two-day event will take place on Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20, 2016, in Moscow, Russia, to celebrate Shukhov Tower’s 94th anniversary and the launch of a petition to save the modern icon, which currently faces the threat of demolition. The tower is on the 2016 World Monuments Watch, World Monuments Fund’s biennial list of at-risk cultural heritage sites around the globe. A press conference on Saturday, March 19, at 3:00 p.m. (Moscow Time Zone) will be held to address Shukhov Tower’s current state and the petition to President Vladimir Putin on change.org to help save it. Events also include tours around the tower, a film screening, activities for children, tower reconstruction demonstrations, and more (see below for event details). Shukhov Tower, known after the name of its designer Vladimir Shukhov (1853-1939), is a landmark in the history of structural engineering. Built between 1919 and 1922, it is an emblem of the creative genius of an entire generation of modernist architects in the years that followed the Russian Revolution. Currently, the tower suffers from corrosion, a process which was accelerated due to inappropriate repairs carried out in the 1970s. The tower also sits close to the center of a growing Moscow, and demand for land, coupled with its poor condition and lack of public access, have led to the looming threat of demolition.

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.

  • Richard Pare Press Release.Indd
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘The Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922–32’ on view at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts October 11, 2012–February 16, 2013. Richard Pare, Melnikov House, Moscow, Russia. Konstantin Melnikov, 1927-31. Photograph Copyright Richard Pare 2007. Chicago, August 23, 2012 – The Graham Foundation is pleased to present The Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922-32, an exhibition documenting the work of modernist architects in the Soviet Union in the years following the 1917 revolution and the period of instability during the subsequent civil war. In little more than a decade, some of the most radical buildings of the twentieth century were completed by a small group of architects who developed a new architectural language in support of social goals of communal life. Rarely published and virtually inaccessible until the collapse of the Soviet regime, these important buildings have remained unknown and unappreciated. Installed throughout all three floors of the Graham Foundation’s Madlener House, the exhibition consists of over eighty large-scale photographs of Soviet structures from the first revolutionary period documented by British photographer Richard Pare as he found them during extensive visits between 1992–2010. The structures featured in the exhibition are located in a wide territory spanning the old Soviet Union that includes Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Georgia, and Russia, and were drawn from an archive of about 15,000 photographs taken by Pare. Selections from this body of work were first exhibited at the Ruina, an annex of the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture (MUAR) in Moscow. The Lost Vanguard exhibition originated at the Museum of Modern Art, New York organized by Barry Bergdoll, with guest curator Jean-Louis Cohen.

Cracking (chemistry) - the generic term for breaking up the larger molecules. Alkylation - refining of crude oil Burton process - cracking of hydrocarbons Cumene process - making phenol and acetone from benzene Friedel-Crafts reaction, Kolbe-Schmitt reaction Olefin metathesis, Thermal depolymerization Transesterification - organic chemicals Raschig process - part of the process to produce nylon Oxo process - Produces aldehydes from alkenes. Polymerisation . Cracking (chemistry) In petroleum geology and chemistry, cracking is the process whereby complex organic molecules such as kerogens or heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules such as light hydrocarbons, by the breaking of carbon- carbon bonds in the precursors. The rate of cracking and the end products are strongly dependent on the temperature and presence of catalysts. Cracking is the breakdown of a large alkane into smaller, more useful alkanes and alkenes. Simply put, hydrocarbon cracking is the process of breaking a long-chain of hydrocarbons into short ones. More loosely, outside the field of petroleum chemistry, the term "cracking" is used to describe any type of splitting of molecules under the influence of heat, catalysts and solvents, such as in processes of destructive distillation or pyrolysis. Fluid catalytic cracking produces a high yield of gasoline and LPG, while hydrocracking is a major source of jet fuel, Diesel fuel, naphtha, and LPG.[ 1 Refinery using the Shukhov cracking process, Baku, Soviet Union, 1934.

The history of the Baku oil industry offers a clear, focused example of the social and physical effects of the imposition of external parties’ financial and commodity demands on an urban-industrial setting. Baku as an urban environment, comprising not just the physical elements of the city but also its sociocultural communities, has embodied priorities imposed on the oil industry that have shifted as the global importance of oil and natural gas has grown, as those commodities’ uses have changed over time, and according to successive regimes’ respective political and economic ideologies.
