| Abstract. | The current scientific development of the problem is rather low. At the same time professional community is becoming more interested in the Soviet Modernism. This period was characterized by not only the standard residential construction. Construction of public buildings: cultural centers, cinemas, stadiums and circuses - has become a space of creative expression for the architects. Kazan has got a rather large historical layer of the public architecture of the Soviet modernism period. Among these public buildings there are such significant for the city, unique objects, as high-rise KSU academic buildings and, of course, Kazan State Circus. Research problems of the Soviet modernism are relevant and closely related to the modern challenges of the present day architecture. This project will further explore the impact of the Soviet Modernism on contemporary culture and art practice. A comprehensive review of the public architecture of the Soviet modernism period, on the example of Kazan city, will determine its historical value and identify the role in the evolution of the architecture of the Soviet period. |
