Vision 1960-1980: Consequences against the backdrop of changes

Abstract

The article considers two branches of the architectural visionary community and describes their characteristics and their evolution.
It also studies the contemporary state of theoretical consciousness of post-Soviet society, its peculiarities and its interaction with the
social foundation and urban policy. The cultural cycle of the mid-to-late “noughties” is marked by the federal executive authorities’
refusal to manage spatial development, lack of scientific and critical reflection, and more and more notable borrowing of western technologies and style. The author emphasizes the need to analyse both the logic and the consequences of this process. The author examines the modern transformation of architectural activity and its causes, as well as changes in the quality of visionariness.
