The article summarizes the results of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Architecture and Design in the Digital Age”, held online on April 23–24, 2021. The background of the whole range of problems brushed at the conference is shown, its most important results are noted, including the statement of the completion of the process of ‘digitalization’ of the design field and the distribution of functions in the process of creating objects, when design itself becomes technology, production. The article provides a description of the collection of scientific papers prepared at the end of the conference and a brief overview of the reports presented.

The article is dedicated to comparative analysis of spatial constructions created by the Russian Avant-Garde Artist Alexander Rodchenko and the famous kinetic European and American artist Alexander Calder in the first half of the 20-th century. For both artists technology played the decisive role in constructing spatial objects, both of them used line as a basic expressive element. Still there is a certain difference stressed by the author: Rodchenko used linear elements to express structural and constructive qualities of spatial objects, while Calder was more intending to represent emotion and movement. Rodchenko and Calder belong to the common abstract artistic trend in 20th century sculpture. But their works served as the basis for the two different traditions: minimalist conceptual and geometric art of Donuld Judd on one side and spontaneous mechanisms of Jean Tinguely on the other.

The State Tretyakov Gallery hosts a significant exhibition “Laboratory of the Future. Kinetic Art in Russia”. Its significance, the influence of the artistic phenomenon of kinetic art itself on domestic art of the 20th and 21st centuries has not yet been fully determined. The exhibition emphasizes kinetic art as one of the central national trends in experimental artistic creativity of the 20th century, even as some kind of a tradition. On the one hand, the exhibition would have been impossible without the participation of the creators of the Russian avant-garde, the founders of abstract art, the creators of the first abstract sculptures and dynamic structures: V. V. Kandinsky, K.S. Malevich, El Lissitzky, V. E. Tatlin, A. M. .Rodchenko. On the other hand, recognized masters, inventors of kinetic art in the USSR in the 1960s and 1970s, creators of the synthetic works of art combining the sound, color, form, images and motion are also important: Lev Nusberg’s “Group Movement” in Mosco...

In this first extensive study of her life and work, Varvara Stepanova (1894-1958) emerges as a remarkable artist whose versatility, energy, and contribution to the Russian avant-garde matched and in some cases exceeded that of her husband, Alexander Rodchenko.The book is written and designed by Aleksander Lavrentiev, who is the grandson of Rodchenko and Stepanova and the curator of their archive. Lavrentiev's text is accompanied by excerpts from Stepanova's own diary, with its fresh insights and lively commentary on Soviet art, and a memoir by her daughter. But the real discovery is the 370 illustrations - 45 in color - nearly all of which are published here for the first time, which reveal an artist startling in her accomplishments.Like Rodchenko, Stepanova was among the founders of Constructivism, a contributor to the famous Moscow 5 x 5 = 25 exhibition held in 1921, and significant in shaping Russian's visual culture during the turbulent years following the revolution. Lavrentiev covers every aspect of Stepanova's production against the complex background of the period. The comments in the little oilskin notebook that she kept almost continuously during the 1920s keenly revive the events of the time; the illustrations allow us to discover and enjoy the wide range of Stepanova's talents as expressed in paintings and geometric constructions, sets and costumes, fashion designs, posters, and typography.John Bowlt, who has edited the text and written a critical introduction to the book, is a leading authority and well-known writer on Russian art and culture. He is Director of the Institute of Modern Russian Culture at the University of Southern California.
