Description:
- There is a sketch in graphite on the verso of the photograph, apparently a block plan of the project. The sketch may be by N. Podgorny, then Chief of Urban Services in Kharkov, since he was involved in the U.S.S.R. Study Tour as one of the Soviet architects that had meetings and conferences with study tour members ('L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui', p. 74).

Human Space (2012)
AP207.S1.2012.PR06
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Human Wall", designed by Pettena for the Galleria Enrico Fornello in Milan in 2012. The installation consists of a wall made of handmade balls of clay on which the handprints from making the clay balls intentionally remain. "The physicality and action of constructing is also accentuated here by the use of a natural material, clay, whose malleability and lack of homogeneity in themselves generate architecture, an architecture that can however be directed toward a mental use of space." [1] Another edition of this installation was presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2012. The project series contains drawings showing the construction of the installation and photographs of the installation.

Description:
- The early 1930s marked the beginning of limitations on creative freedom in the Soviet Union, government approval of Constructivism, and the arrival of Socialist Realism in the arts, literature, and architecture. This photograph may reflect the times in the architects' rather sombre facial expressions and the copy of 'Pravda' in the foreground, an apparent reference to the Communist presence in the creative process.
