1/ Zaal Andronikashvili @Zaaliko: "I do not know if anyone wrote anything about the wild architecture of the 90s (probably I have not met and if you know, "link me", you will be grateful.
Why did this architecture appear?
2/ The stereotyped and meaningless answers will be "corruption", "neoliberalism" and the like. Along with corrupt officials, people also participated in this type of architecture. Or rather, the initiative came from them. And the name of this initiative was "Space".
3/ The flat, fart fetish was formed in the Soviet Union. The housing issue was one of the inherent traumas of the USSR along with the undefeated market. On his caricature side the communal flats will be read by the attendees with Zoshchenko and Bulgakov.
4/ The housing issue could not be resolved until the collapse of the USSR. What kind of culture shaped the space in which people were locked up is a separate story.
5/ Constanta had more space, a bigger apartment, dividing the rooms and exchanging more, exchanging more in a "prestigious" area.
Space existed as a fetish and the architecture of the 90s is a form of this fetish.
6/ Institutionally, this architecture was made possible by the privatization of apartments (throughout the USSR), the state gave the initial capital to the citizens, and unlike the second privatization, the first one worked one way or another.
7/ But property and freedom, as we have learned then (empirically), have been overshadowed by the shadows, and in some ways the lodge has become not only a fetish icon of space, but also the notion of freedom and property that still defines Georgia at the private and state levels
8/ I will do whatever I want.
The lodge (popularly: lodge) is intertwined with Soviet and post-Soviet history.
9/ ... a criminal and misguided housing policy from the beginning that affected every Soviet man and the flaws of the post-Soviet transformation that took over the Soviet legacy but did not try to understand it and then simply corrected mistakes.
10/10 He tried to remake this legacy and his short clever head.
In fact, for the next 30 years, post-Soviet Georgia is still this lodge."
