Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The paper explores the dynamic interaction between the public and private domains as these concepts are embodied in the physical built environment of the city. It is concerned with recent developments in a specifically urban type of residential architecture - the apartment house - which mediates the boundary between the home and the street, the domestic and the urban, the private and the public. It focuses on specific projects as well as various discourses about architecture and domestic space as employed by professional architects and architectural critics, and academic observers of Russian culture and society. The paper points to a striking trend towards the 'interiorization' of the city - the creation of concealed private spaces and their total insulation from the outside world. It argues that this trend is driven not only by the global forces of neo-liberal capitalism but also in large part by deeply embedded cultural values which are rooted in the specific historical experiences of the urban residents of the large Soviet cities. It suggests that the unquestioned elevation of privacy as an absolute cultural value is in many ways a product - even if unintended - of the Soviet system itself and of the specific spatial living arrangements it created. The paper also engages in the conceptual discussion of the public/private distinctions within the context of Russian/Soviet society and argues for the importance of modern urban sociability as an aspect of public sphere.
