{"product_id":"georgii-krutikov-selim-omarovich-khan-magomedov-9788493923181","title":"Georgii Krutikov: The Flying City and Beyond","description":"In 1927, while a student of architecture at the Moscow Vhutemas, Georgii Krutikov presented a vision for a flying city. More than just a flight of architectural fancy, Krutikov's flying city was a utopian dream, a plan to solve the seemingly intractable problems of overcrowding and resource depletion by moving humanity's living quarters to space. Inspired in equal parts by sci-fi dreams of space travel and the revolutionary idealism that still percolated in the Soviet Union at that time, Krutikov created an incredible amount of detailed information about his city: sketches, drawings, plans, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Krutikov's flying city has been cited as a major influence on Russian modernism for decades, yet little has been written about the design, its creator, or his subsequent architectural career. This beautifully illustrated book fills that gap, presenting a detailed study of Krutikov's scheme and its underlying ethos, then tracing Krutikov's later work as an architect. It will interest--and amaze--all fans of the avant-garde, architecture, and Russian history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Selim Omarovich Khan-Magomedov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8493923184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788493923181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tenov Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Selim Omarovich Khan-Magomedov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448047317247,"sku":"9788493923181","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b36ca4b-9859-4de0-9d35-2ba8cd175443.jpg?v=1777236538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georgii-krutikov-selim-omarovich-khan-magomedov-9788493923181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
