"Carnival Tractor", 1928. The sketch is a literal representation of the inscription, saying: Dzerzhprom [building in Kharkiv] is the ENGINE of the industrialisation of the country.

A drawing by arch. Leon Krier, explaining what he thinks a "true city" is. It also explains what happened to all the public spaces in post-socialist cities – they were eaten up by "res economica" :D

Я посетил вчера прекрасное здание Госпрома в Харькове и оно меня сильно впечатлило. Не само здание, а именно смесь архитектуры авангарда и сохранившейся внутри неё культуры. Эти километры переходов, лестничных клеток и лифтов превратились в совершенно уникальное, живое пространство. Больше в ролике :)

Yesterday I have visited the amazing Gosprom building in Kharkiv. I am really impressed — not so much about the building though, but the mixture of avant-garde architecture and intangible culture between its walls. Kilometers of Gosprom's corridors, catwalks, staircases and elevators transformed into a unique and lively public space. More on the video :)
