| Abstract: | Soviet shell structures are rather unknown in comparison to their German and French counterparts. However, during the 1930s Soviet engineers would not only implement ‘imported' concrete constructions for the industrialisation of the country, but would also push the boundaries of a material usually not regarding as ideal for shell structures—wood. Born out of sheer material shortage the construction proceeded to become important in certain fields of industry while remaining unknown to scholars around the world. Based on Soviet literature and a Master thesis conducted by the author at Stuttgart University, this paper aims to shed light on a forgotten development during the 1930s in USSR. |
