metadata.value: History of Soviet ‘Paper Architeture’ of 1980s is mostly oral: its fragments are scattered in
  architecture magazines, critical articles and interviews. It seems that it has come from nowhere
  — this phenomenon has a very weak connection with what was going on in ‘built’ architecture.
  Nevertheless, Paper Architecture is a prominent part of Soviet culture of 1980s that
  is impossible to neglect. Conceptual architecture in the 20th century has certain regularity: it has been getting spotlight roughly once every 20 years; from avant-garde utopias of 1920s
  to totalitarian myths of 1940s and once again as the part of the ‘Space Age’ aesthetics of 1960s.
  Paper Architecture wasn’t supported by ‘real’ architecture except from a very small number
  of projects; nevertheless it has answered the postmodernist challenge — to make architecture
  talk. Restoration of events chronicle may be the key to understanding the development of Paper
  Architecture: its duality between art and architecture, weak interest of its authors in ‘real’
  building and disbanded nature of working groups can be explained by outer circumstances,
  not some program of the group. This article tries to connect this puzzle from recollections and
  events to describe the beginnings of this phenomenon.
