Design for unbuilt Russian housing apartments from 1928 centering
around the idea of the social condenser proposed by the OSA group.
This architecture sought to merge the ideas of the 'fine arts'
constructivists like Malevich and Lissitzky into the real world and
create spaces of communal harmony. The idea was never realized
because of the radical change of ideologies in the Soviet Union soon
after.
