The premier publication of the Union of Artists of the USSR\, it functioned as a platform for ind ustrial design\, interior decor\, crafts\, folk art\, and monumental and d ecorative architecture\, tracking the evolution of mid-century modernism a nd late-Soviet brutalism through the unique cultural lenses of fifteen eth nically and stylistically diverse Soviet republics. Its editorial synthesi s of progressive ideation and applied art over more than three decades—f rom postwar practicalism to Perestroika-era conceptualism—forms the basi s for a new taxonomy of Soviet design informed by the theorists and practi tioners whose work fueled the official art economy of the late USSR.Yelena McLane\, PhD\, is an associate professor in the School of Design at Flori da State University. She is a design researcher\, educator\, and practitio ner whose work explores the relationships between interior spatial configu rations and human experiences across educational\, cultural\, and resident ial environments. McLane’s research employs a mixed-methods approach tha t integrates quantitative spatial analysis with qualitative inquiry to exa mine how interior environments influence perception\, behavior\, identity \, and wellbeing. A central focus of her current scholarship is housing in security and trauma-informed design. She is coauthor of Homelessness and t he Built Environment: Designing for Unhoused Persons (2022)\, which invest igates how architectural and interior design strategies in shelters and su pportive housing shape dignity\, recovery\, and self-identity. She also se rves as the program lead for Design Resources for Homelessness\, a nonprof it initiative dedicated to advancing research-based and socially responsib le housing design.In parallel\, McLane maintains an active research agenda in design history\, with work ranging from spatial analysis of historic i nteriors to twentieth-century Soviet modernism. Her publications include s tudies of cinematic representations of modernism\, the design of cultural goods in the USSR\, and domesticity and family life in Frank Lloyd Wright ’s Prairie houses. Drawing on more than fifteen years of professional ex perience in museum and exhibition design\, she teaches graduate and underg raduate studios\, theory\, and research methods courses\, and mentors stud ents in scholarly and design inquiry.Image: Selected covers of Decorative Art of the USSR\, the premier Soviet design magazine published in Moscow f rom 1957 to 1991.Object LabsAt Bard Graduate Center\, we use an object-cen tered approach to advance the study of the decorative arts\, design histor y\, and material culture.
