Surrounded by fierce followers of futurism, suprematism and rationalism, Chernikhov cared little for their theories but soaked up their ideas and visions, transforming them into stunning, unconstrained architectural fantasies. Labelled as an amateur by some and as the Soviet Piranesi by others, there is no doubting Chernikhov\u2019s prolificacy &#8211; thousands of drawings chart his changing visions and the changing atmosphere of Russia and are still some of the most powerful paper architecture ever produced. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?resize=580%2C435\" alt=\"Giant Plant of Special Purpose for wp\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?resize=680%2C510&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Giant-Plant-of-Special-Purpose-for-wp1.jpg?resize=770%2C577&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The Giant Plant of Special Purpose with its soft cylindrical forms and cuboids raised on delicate steel legs. Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/shelleysdavies.com\">shellysdavies<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Funding the publication of his drawings through work as a draughtsman, Chernikhov struggled to gain popularity. Adding textual explanations to his drawings was seen by many to weaken them; if anything it was their pure vision, devoid of any esoteric message, that made them so absorbing. Nonetheless Chernikhov\u2019s pieces brought the ideas of architectural industry and mechanisation into artistic representation in a way never seen before. Following only his own rules and precedents, forms are presented plainly with no decoration, finding a beauty in the simple combination of cube and cylinder or a thin, twisting metal truss; we almost feel the weight of the objects drawn. It is the dual aspects of technical and material solidity with a self generating logic and artistic grace that set Chernikhov apart. This, with a sense of wilful fantasy, has seen his images leave a lasting impression more concrete than any of his physical architecture. Through his publications one can track Chernikhov\u2019s style as it becomes more realistic and even romantic yet retains its industrialist heart. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=580%2C592\" alt=\"Composition for wp\" width=\"580\" height=\"592\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=293%2C300&amp;ssl=1 293w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=600%2C612&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=680%2C694&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=300%2C306&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Composition-for-wp.jpg?resize=770%2C786&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Composition 18. Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/thecharnelhouse.org\">thecharnelhouse<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Following two relatively unpopular publications in 1930 and 1931 (Foundations of Contemporary Architecture and Architecture of Machine Forms respectively), Chernikhov published the work \u2018Architectural Fantasies\u2019 in 1933, alongside an accompanying exhibition. Over two thousand drawings explored a vast range of forms, colours, compositions and methods in what remains the greatest demonstration of his talent. Into the mid 1930s and 40s, Chernikhov\u2019s style shifted with a series devoted to complexes and palaces of communism. The crisp lines and bold colours of his earlier work are replaced with dark, gothic visions with a far greater sense of place and atmosphere in line with the works of Piranesi. The avant-garde were subdued by an oncoming renewed interest in classicism, and Chernikhov\u2019s vivid mechanical imaginings became almost frightening. Whether these vast dystopian cityscapes bathed in hazy light remained pure visions or began to critique the communist regime is uncertain, but the palaces and cities portrayed by Chernikhov were refused publication. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?resize=580%2C441\" alt=\"Communist Palace for wp\" width=\"580\" height=\"441\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?resize=600%2C456&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?resize=680%2C516&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Communist-Palace-for-wp.jpg?resize=770%2C585&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Palace of Communism.

He built very little, even less of which remains, none of the projects big enough to get a real sense of what could have been achieved were he allowed. The tower of the Krasny Gvozdilshchik in St. Petersburg gives some small insight into the translation of so many ideas into a concrete form, despite its decaying appearance. But perhaps it is best that they remain on paper, as pure fantasy, where we can still question and imagine their purpose, function and vision. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=580%2C774\" alt=\"Chernikhov Factory Tower for wp\" width=\"580\" height=\"774\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=767%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 767w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=680%2C906&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Chernikhov-Factory-Tower-for-wp.jpg?resize=770%2C1026&amp;ssl=1 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The remains of Chernikhov&#8217;s tower at Krasny Gvozdilshchick.
