BIO:
Originally from a small industrial town in the Urals, Daria Bocharnikova lived and worked in Yekaterinburg and Saint Petersburg, undertook postgraduate studies in Italy and the US. Her research interests lie at the intersection of the history of modern architecture and urban planning and history of State Socialism. As a PhD researcher, she studied the history of the architectural profession in the Soviet Union from the early 1930s to the late 1960s. Her second undertaking–the international collaborative project, titled Second World Urbanity that she launched in 2012–explores the history of urban planning, architecture, and everyday life in socialist cities across Eurasia and beyond.
