Comrade Lenin sweeps the world of the unclean (1920) poster by Mikhail Cheremnykh

To create something new you have get rid of the old. Destry old architecture and monuments and then erect new ones in their place.

After the October revolution in 1917 these sorts of changes were seen in many areas of daily life from Communal living, to sculpture and architecture and film making.  These new designs reflected and enforced new ideals.

In architecture Iakov Chernikhov's radical speculative constructivism

In art Zakimir Malevich's new ways of seeing, and abstraction 

In Film Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Pudovkin pioneer montage and doccument the revolution

In sculpture Vladimir Tatlin creates a monument for the third international (1920)

I am interested in how a new set of ideals can be enforced through design.

I take the October revolution as my Historical contextual basis for this exploration.
