Moscoworiented

Moscoworiented is a term used to describe a particular style of urban planning and architecture that emerged in the Soviet Union, particularly in Moscow, during the 20th century. This style is characterized by its functionalist approach, which prioritizes practicality and efficiency over aesthetic considerations. Moscoworiented buildings are typically designed with large, open spaces, simple geometric forms, and a focus on mass production techniques. This style was influenced by the Soviet government's desire to create a modern, industrialized society and was often used in the construction of residential buildings, factories, and public spaces. Despite its functionalist origins, Moscoworiented architecture has also been criticized for its lack of individuality and its contribution to the dehumanizing effects of Soviet urban planning. Today, Moscoworiented buildings can be found throughout the former Soviet Union and continue to be a subject of study and debate among architects and urban planners.
