Hardback. Condizione: New. Built in 1969, Metsamor, Armenia (then the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic), was intended as a settlement for employees of a nearby nuclear power plant to be completed between 1976 and 1980. But the power plant would never realise the ambitions of its creators. In 1988, an earthquake caused the facility to be shut down and in 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union prompted a complete construction freeze in the city. The symbol of the dream of a technologically advanced nation, Metsamor remained incomplete and fell into decay undiminished by the recommissioning of the power plant in 1995.Utopia and Collapse documents the rise and fall of Metsamor. The book brings together an oral history of Metsamor with essays by Sarhat Petrosyan and a team of contributors and photographic research and visual mapping by Katharina Roters, including more than one hundred images. Among the topics discussed are Armenia's cultural and and architectural histories; the typology of Soviet atomograds, or atomic cities; and the phenomenon of modern ruins. Although today the power plant's workers live in a partly built failed utopia, Metsamor stands as an example of the highly idiosyncratic Armenian variety of Soviet Modernism of the 1960s and '70s, making this a fascinating story for anyone with an interest in Soviet-era buildings and architecture. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Metsamor, die Arbeiterstadt mit dem einzigen armenischen Kernkraftwerk nahe der türkischen Grenze, ist Symbol des sow jetisch-armenischen Traums vom technologischen Fortschritt der Nation. Infolge des verheerenden Erdbebens von 1988, des gewachsenen Umweltbewusstseins und des Zusammenbruchs der Sowjetunion wurde das Kraftwerk stillgelegt, was zu einem Baustopp der benachbarten Stadt führte. Das unvollendet gebliebene Metsamor wurde seiner ursprünglichen Funktion entkoppelt und sich selbst überlassen. Auch die Wiederinbetriebnahme des Kraftwerks 1995 konnte den Zerfall der Stadt nicht aufhalten. Die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner leben in einer teilweise verlassenen, halb gebauten Utopie. Die Stadt selbst und ihre Architektur sind ein einzigartiges Beispiel der armenischen Moderne, die in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren der Sowjetmoderne eine besonders eigenwillige Form annahm. Utopia & Collapse vereint Fotoserien der Künstlerin Katharina Roters mit essayistisch-wissenschaftlichen Texten, die einen interdisziplinären architekturhistorischen Einblick in Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt mit ihrem ideologischen Hintergrund geben. Shortlist des Deutschen Fotobuchpreises 2018.…
