Summary:

L'Union soviétique observa de près l'Amérique... Pour Staline et ses successeurs, l'architecture aussi devait participer à cette étude primordiale afin d'asseoir la domination mondiale du communisme. Dès les années 1920, les soviétiques envoyèrent aux USA des architectes pour apprendre à construire des gratte-ciel, se servirent de leurs pavillons aux expositions universelles de New York 1939 et Montréal 1967 pour diffuser leur propagande, coopérèrent à la construction du siège de l'ONU, bâtirent entre les décennies 1950 et 1980 d'imposantes ambassades à Ottawa, Washington, Brasilia, La Havane. Tous ces monuments devaient symboliser la puissance de l'URSS jusque sur le continent américain. Ces regards vers les Amériques influencèrent même la création soviétique, les gratte-ciel staliniens donnant à Moscou une nouvelle silhouette impériale. Ainsi l'architecture soviétique contesta avec violence ou assimila avec subtilité la culture américaine. Dans cette guerre des symboles entre deux mondes antagonistes, chaque projet ou réalisation architecturale se transforma donc en instrument de conquête.-- Provided by publisher.
