Building The Revolution

                                After the success of the 1917 Revolution the Soviet Authority
                                embarked on a period of cultural change, which lead for a
                                brief period in 1922 - 1930 to a Renaissance in Avant-garde art
                                forms, which included a range of extraordinary buildings.
                                However, during the construction, some of these remarkable
                                buildings were not always successfully completed due to the fact
                                that the architect's preferred materials were not always available
                                and very often a cultural shift could take place in the use or
                                experimentation of these alternative materials which could lead to
                                the detriment of the original design.
