Design for the Soviet space programme. Galina Balashova, Architect
На выставке будет представлено уникальное собрание планов, эскизов и чертежей для советских космических кораблей и станций, таких как «Союз», «Буран», «Салют», «Мир». Галине Балашовой удалось совместить мир высоких технологий с миром гармонии и красоты. Именно ее творчество легло в основу понятия космической архитектуры. Выставка сопровождается монографией «Галина Балашова. Архитектор советской космической программы», автором которой стал ее куратор Филипп Мойзер.
пресс-релиз:
This monographic exhibition on the oeuvre of Russian architect Galina Balashova presents a unique collection of design proposals for the Soviet cosmonautical program: plans and construction drawings for Soyuz capsules and for the Salyut and Mir space stations. Balashova acted as a consultant for the Buran program, the Soviet counterpart to the US space shuttle. With her search for harmony and beauty, Galina Balashova lent the high-tech world of booster rockets, laboratories and life-support systems an emotional touch. We therefore have Balashova’s talent to thank for adding an important, rich chapter to construction history: cosmonautic architecture. Her extraordinary artistic oeuvre, and it includes designs for medals and awards, is to date hardly known inside Russia. Let Galina Balashova whisk you away into a world of architecture where gravity has been replaced by weightlessness.
To accompany the exhibition, DOM publishers has brought out a monograph in German and English.
