Russian Utopia

Glass Stonehenge: Monument for the Year 2001 (1986) by D Bush and A Khomyakov.

“The sheet of heavy glass laying on the row of stones is carrying the next row, etc.”

Russian Utopia is a repository of 480 unbuilt architectural projects from the last 300 years of Russian history. I love seeing designs for unrealised architectural schemes and this site has some fascinating examples like the Glass Stonehenge above. A shame all the pictures are so frustratingly small.
