| Title | Building Soviet Vyborg: Architectural Encounter in the Soviet-Finnish Borderland, 1960s-1980s |
| Summary | The research project Building Socialist Vyborg: an architectural encounter in the Soviet-Finnish borderland, 1960s-1980s is dedicated to the study of the Soviet-Finnish encounters in the sphere of architecture and architectural engineering on the example of Vyborg, once second-largest Finnish town appended to the Soviet Union during the Second World War. The project has two main aims: to contribute to the analysis of contested built environment of Vyborg by approaching it from the standpoint of spatial history; to escape the narration of history of Soviet architecture from exclusively the system of power relations by focusing on local cross-border networks and encounters. In this research, the Soviet-Finnish borderland is perceived as space created a possibility for cultural and technological exchange between the countries on the both sides of the “Iron Curtain.” |
