Brodsky's Oblako ('Cloud') Bar and Ice Pavilion no longer exist, and yet you'll find them in the journal you're now holding, and this gives them a kind of 'immortal' glory. However, periodicals such as our own cannot afford to sacrifice immediate relevance to current issues to a memorializing impulse. In the present case this immediate relevance is not simply a matter of the fact that Brodsky has been chosen to represent Russia with a one-man show at this year's Venice Bien-nale.
The possibillities to design or modify the space in a home can be limited; one faces restrictions on the constructed surface space or the land to build on as well as economic and regulatory limitations. But even so, architects create innovative and original proposals that adapt to the requirements of the owners. The projects presented in this volume are the result of the changes made in private residences. The objective of these interventions is to enlarge spaces, personalize rooms, improve the distribution of space and make its use more rational.
