After the October Revolution of 1917, Lenin moved the Russian capital from St. Petersburg back to Moscow, the traditional heart of Russia. Moscow was to be the ideal Soviet city, its factories, theaters, communal housing and government buildings representing the strength and potential of a new revolutionary society. Imagine Moscow focuses on six unbuilt architectural landmarks, each telling its own story about the city: Ivan Leonidov's Lenin Institute (1927), El Lissitzky's "Cloud Iron" (1924), Nikolai Ladovsky's Communal House (1919), Nikolai Sokolov's Health Factory (1927), the Vesnin brothers' Narkomtiazhprom (1934) and Boris Iofan's Palace of the Soviets (1932). Large-scale architectural plans, models and drawings are placed alongside propaganda posters, textiles and porcelain, contextualizing the transformation of Moscow as a city reborn.
