Résumé:
The Soviet Union has left a vast heritage in interior design that is largely unknown in the West. Other than architecture and graphic or product design, interior design from the Soviet era has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This publication offers a comprehensive survey of the country's interior design culture between revolutionary avant-garde and late Soviet modernism. Drawing on archives that were inaccessible until recently and featuring a wealth of previously unpublished material, it documents the achievements of seven decades in the former socialist empire.

Résumé:
Devenu République soviétique socialiste en 1936, le Kirghizistan entendait inventer pour sa capitale une architecture monumentale spécifique qui exprime son ralliement à l’utopie d’espérance de la grande famille communiste. Il faut toutefois attendre l’après-guerre pour voir surgir les premiers grands équipements staliniens (opéra, palais des Pionniers) dans un style emphatique d’inspiration classique avec, ici et là, des citations de la culture kirghize. La période 1960-1980 voit se multiplier les édifices emblématiques de la capitale (stade, bibliothèque, gare routière, palais des mariages…), chacun des dirigeants soviétiques successifs voulant imprimer leur marque dans l’architecture. Les réalisations présentées dans ce livre témoignent d’une audace et d’un souffle certes souvent déclamatoire et hyperbolique, qui ne cessent d’étonner par leur puissance expressionniste.

He considers sword-and-sandal films of the 1950s and 1960s—including forgotten gems such as Land of the Pharaohs, Helen of Troy, and The Egyptian—and their protean, ideologically charged representations of totalitarianism and democracy.

Résumé:
In Flintstone Modernism, Jeffrey Lieber investigates transformations in postwar American architecture and culture. He considers sword-and-sandal films of the 1950s and 1960s—including forgotten gems such as Land of the Pharaohs, Helen of Troy, and The Egyptian—and their protean, ideologically charged representations of totalitarianism and democracy. He connects Cinemascope and other widescreen technologies to the architectural “glass curtain wall,” arguing that both represented the all-encompassing eye of American Enterprise. Lieber reminds us that until recently midcentury modern American architecture was reviled by architectural historians but celebrated by design enthusiasts, just as sword-and-sandal epics are alternately hailed as cult classics or derided as camp.
