Muy bueno lastimosamente muchos después dee la guerra actual ya no están de pie.

This is very poetic in my opinion. It reminds me a lot to Powaqqatsi. Calming, exciting, and IT IS GREAT!

хахах это бомба просто)) где можно глянуть полное??))

пересматриваю периодически уже годами, а вы не хотите снять полнометражку про модернизм Киева?

that's a great video, what song was used? Can't find it with the credits...

harrowingly foreboding

Це все в Києві!❤️

Omg, 2 of those buildings (the National Scientific-Technical Library, the building with the sphere, and the House of Furniture, the one with the concaved roof, are from the neighborhood I used to live in!

Very interesting !!! History is lost by the way..suppressed.. especially in the soviet union.. what is the Origins of the "roman" or moreish architecture? which people have been systematically killed in the last few hundreds of years? which religion is being suppressed? so much that you dont even think that there is such an architecture style ? Think about it...

Це прекрасно! Дякую вам.

Soviet modernism left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape, serving as a conduit for revolutionary ideals and technological innovation. It spurred the development of new technologies in both design and implementation, paralleling the era's ideological and technological advancements. As we move forward, the notion of recreating or restoring Soviet modernist structures seems redundant; their influence is embedded in the fabric of contemporary architecture. The legacy of Soviet modernism, intertwined with elements of Soviet constructivism, continues to resonate in the works of architects like Richard Rogers, underscoring its enduring relevance. The symbiotic relationship between technology and architectural evolution is vividly illustrated in the early works of Zaha Hadid. Her embrace of architectural 3D modeling marked a pivotal moment in her career, showcasing the transformative power of technology in design practice. Repurposing crashed concrete from Soviet brutalist buildings as a foundation for new landmark structures offers a poignant tribute to the past, symbolizing the resilience of communities and architectural heritage. This gesture of continuity and homage should be commemorated with a memorial plaque, underscoring the generational connection and tribute to the enduring legacy of Soviet architecture. It is a tangible reminder of the complexities of history and the evolution of architectural thought, reflecting the interplay between past and present in shaping our built environment.

no example is given to substantiate the assertion that architects of that 1960's drew on designs from the 1920's & 1930's for influences or ideas

Brutalism is brutal to the human soul, belongs a la poubelle.

Looks so good. Can't wait to watch it!

This architecture lacks a human scale and seems to have been built by machines. Its inability to transform over time gives it a grandiose, somewhat narcissistic quality. It reflects a top-down, reductionist approach, missing the organic complexity often seen in fractal designs. Despite being the product of a select few, it is presented as a collective effort, which seems more like a form of social engineering than true community collaboration. Labeling it 'communist' implies a sense of communitarian spirit, but it feels more restrictive, almost like an imposition on individual freedom.

Young dudes are always egomaniac pricks thinking that they will change the world. Thats why they dont look back.

Вітаю! Підкажіть, коли планується вихід фільму? Ну дуже цікаво!

Круто

😃🔥

Great film

Хорошая книга. Только слишком дорогая

с другой стороны, это видео несет в себе невероятную боль и горечь. Это ведь Украина в 2020 году. Задолго до всего случившегося. Люди здесь еще такие счастливые, ибо даже не ведают какая беда придет к ним. Это на самом-то деле ужасно.

It is purposely made to keep people low in mood, spirit and hopeless. It really isn’t as deep as these two little lefties are making out. It’s designed to crush you, just like communism.

"they lost their revolution" pans out to giant advertisement on the side of an old soviet building, that's poetic

Soldiers of Christ! Remember what the forces of modernity wish to do to your church and your people! Keep watch and remain vigilant, Always!

Very interesting! Where can I watch this documentary?

I despise these people. They did more damage to Britain than the Germans

Russia has been doing a lot of really great traditional architecture in recent years, no doubt as a reaction to the mostly ugly and inhuman brutalism.

Half of what that lady said was either self-contradictory and manifestly false. I am married to an architect and am a co-author with another. They studied a helluva lot of prior architecture-so the notion that there is no “dialogue” with prior generations of architects seems both extreme and difficult to substantiate

Absolutely love the musicality of this teaser

wow. i wanna dive down all the rabbit holes of this video. where to even start

I just dont get why people dont see the beauty in it. Just like cubist architecture. Sure it looks weird next to an old building but contrasts must be visible, defiant and challenging.

Cool sountrack 😊

Slava Ukraine. ✊🇺🇦

A year is still a year and a lifetime a lifetime, even when they are longer these days... it feels like a generation gap, or the feeling of one has widened since the internet. Or is it because we are all aware of all gaps and its makes it easier to emerge everything

Architects and their ego 's. Sorry if I say so but they are worst then other creators, worst like other artists. More like the surgeons among dokters. Haven 't we got enough, phallus shaped buildings that are about nothing, scattered across this globe? Love this video, I have a love/ hate relationship with brutalism.

This kinda reminded me the city of Brasilia. Built in the 60s by a communist in a country and a time that was a crime to be a communist.

I hope it fucking dies. Everything Soviet and influenced from those times. I was partially raised in those blocks, whenever I went to countryside I never miss it - the grey and empty feelings.

delate this crap it's not an actual Kyiv and all these ppl are inner migrants form donbass and ...

Thank you for making this. I had no idea this visual landscape existed. The music you chose (composed?) also really brought out the sense of place for me.

They destroyed the harmony of Art

1:55 "Todays architects do not engage in a dialogue with yesterdays". 2:25 "We always 'turn' to the legacy of 'grandfathers and grandmothers'" - said while studying the architecture of the 60ies and 70ies. I.E: you are doing exactly that yourselves.

It is very unfortunate that not all cities protect their legacy, luckily at least here in Germany many brutalist buildings are gaining the protect memorial status.

Far too cool! Love this. I’m seeing this short-sightedness in my own city, it’s heart-breaking. Tschumi remarked how people appreciate alive or completely dead architecture but not rotting architecture. And that where the former generation’s architecture often lies.

Now you can fill the empty spaces left by "totalitarianism" with homeless people and produce more (of both) by real state speculation. This video is just ideology.

Amazing video.

This video is pure art.
