- Abstract
The article provides an overview of the searches made by Soviet architects while working on the problem of designing a residential quarter in the 1930s. Among the factors that influenced these searches, the problem of mass residential construction for the needs of industrialization, the idea of “collectivization of the way of life” (obobshchestvleniye byta) and the course on “mastering of historical heritage” (osvoyeniye istoricheskogo naslediya) are considered. By the analysis of research materials of Soviet architects, the article identifies two directions of the search for the principles of architectural and spatial organization of blocks. One of them is associated with the development of a regulatory framework governing the design of residential development, the other — with the search for compositional methods for solving this development. The special attention article pays to the search conducted by architects in these two directions; an analysis of the requirements to which the architectural and spatial organization of the quarter was to comply; it is trace how the complexity of these requirements gradually influenced to the search for Soviet architects.
