Kicking off the first whole year at the Design Museum's new Kensington home, Imagine Moscow: Architecture, Propaganda, Revolution marks the centenary of the Russian Revolution. Through a series of rarely seen materials, from large-scale architectural drawings to propaganda from the period, the exhibition shows Moscow as it was imagined by a bold new generation of architects and designers in the 1920s and early 1930s, presenting an idealistic vision of the Soviet capital that was never realised. Each of the eight projects presented in the exhibition will introduce a theme relevant to life and ideology in the Soviet Union and provide and insight into the culture at the time.
