Abstract

The problem of authorship remains the least studied topic in the history of Soviet architecture, not in the sense of attribution of specific projects and structures, but as a topic of function-author. This article deals with the emergence of the phenomenon of the architect-author as an independent person, free in his or her work. It became possible only in the architecture of 1960s-1970s, today called Soviet Modernism. The background and death of the author in postmodernism are shown on the example of the work of the chief architect of Ashgabat, Academician Abdullah Akhmedov.
