Standard design in housing construction in Moscow in the 1950–1970s: contradictions between architectural urban planning and the social tasks

The paper analyzes the state of standard design in housing construction in Moscow and considers approaches to its further development. It studies two main directions in the housing construction development in the mid-1950s: searching for the necessary stereotypes of a mass apartment and forming the large-element housing construction with the limited economy of the design solutions. The paper shows that the social tasks after alteration in the creative approach to the Soviet architecture pushed artistic problems of the architecture into the background, radically changed the design conditions, forced to concentrate efforts and attention on the construction industrialization and typification. It studies the standard design experience in Moscow during the period of mass housing construction, and analyzes contradictions between the architectural urban planning and social tasks of the state.
