Parallel Architecture of the Thaw and Stagnation. Visionaries Authors Andrey Bokov RAACS; IAAM Downloads PDF DOI: https://doi.org/10.51461/projectbaikal.71.1942 Keywords: architecture, visionariness, design, invention, method and methodology, division of labor, progressive and conservative, regional and global, history of Soviet architecture Abstract The author describes and explains the phenomenon of visionariness and its significance for architecture and the creative work of professionals, as well as for social dynamics. The author emphasizes the historical inevitability of differentiation of those employed in design into architects and engineers, professionals with fundamentally different missions and an opposite approach to design. It is emphasized that visionariness exists both in architecture and engineering projects; it is directly related to social utopias, and correlates differently with the progressive and conservative trends in development. The history of Soviet architecture is analyzed in this context. How to Cite Bokov, A. (2022). Parallel Architecture of the Thaw and Stagnation. Visionaries .
