As a supplement to Volume 21, Microrayon Living is an inventory of everyday life strategies and D.I.Y. practices in the Post Soviet Microrayon.
Research were conducted, together with several local partners in Gldani, Tblisi and in Veshnyaki, Moscow, two identical city quarters in terms of layout, the former at the periphery of the former Soviet Union, the latter in the center of power. Striking similarities and differences came to the fore.
The next step in the research trajectory will be the development of a scenario for a social housing strategy in this context which will be presented at the Moscow Architecture Bieniale 2010.
