“These conceptual works are not yet the fruits of perestroika—these will be harvested in the future. Rather, they are all the ‘children of stagnation,’ who have grown up in spite of it. They are not yet an ‘identity,’ simply the outline of the identity of future Soviet architecture… the so-called paper architecture of the 1980s differs from the visionary architecture of the 1920s and the 1960s in the very character of the opposition it makes to reality: it is no longer utopia, but fantasy.”
