About

In this lecture, you will explore how layouts, furniture, and lighting changed in the 1950s and 1960s, why the "Khrushchyovka" became a symbol of the era, and how functionalism became the language of convenience. "Our apartment, our own. Our kitchen, our own" is a slogan that echoes the hopes of the post-war generation. In this lecture, you will learn why, in the 1950s and 1960s, a home ceased to be just a roof over one’s head and transformed into a project for the future: rational, bright, and comfortable. Functionalism replaces pre-war habits: convenience is more important than decor, and the logic of everyday life is more important than ostentatious luxury. A standard is born - from typical series and "Khrushchyovkas" to compact kitchens, from folding furniture to wardrobes and shelves that zone the space without permanent walls. A separate discussion will focus on the kitchen, which was not just a room but also a place for communication: neighbors gather here, discuss news, and create family rituals. The St. Petersburg event schedule is available on KudaGo.
