Summary:
Modern architecture is inseparably linked with the Industrial Revolution. Industrially manufactured materials such as iron, steel, reinforced concrete, glass, asbestos, and later also plastics, have helped to make architecture modern. The Industrial Revolution also set planetary warming in motion. Thus, it is not far-fetched to claim that there are also correlations between modern architecture and planetary warming. This book is a rough sketch of a proposed history of modern architecture since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It aims to break away from the established neural networks of the profession’s collective memory of how modern architecture’s history has unfolded, and offers the beginning of a rewiring: by introducing new actors, and highlighting ideas and projects that deal with climate and environment, while relegating some of the usual stars of modernism and postmodernism to the background.

Publié en 1930 à Moscou, et inédit en français, "Sotsgorod" est longtemps resté un livre mythique. Ce manifeste utopique russe récuse les modèles des villes traditionnelles pour développer l'hypothèse de la ville linéaire avancée par l'Espagnol Arturo Soria y Mata peu avant 1900 et les solutions pratiques des agglomérations industrielles d'Henry Ford. Le principe théorique élaboré par Milioutine, dans le cadre d'un intense débat sur la structure des villes soviétiques, est appliqué à des plans pour Nijni Novgorod, Stalingrad et Magnitogorsk, accompagné par les propositions architecturales dans l'esprit de l'avant-garde russe. Les propositions radicales de "Sotsgorod" auront un impact considérable sur la réflexion des architectes modernes allemands et conduiront Le COrbusier à imaginer sa «cité linéaire industrielle». Le format original longitudinal et la mise en pages constructiviste de l'édition originale sont rigoureusement reproduits. Présenté par Jean-Louis Cohen. Traduit du russe par Elisabeth Essaïan.
