    Description
    In a new double issue, '32BNY' traces the modern urban trajectories of Russia and China, mapping their connections, divergences, and potential futures.
    From the legacy of Russia in the 1920s, to the volatile architectural energy of China today, '32' revisits what had once seemed irrefutable binaries: communism and capitalism, east and west, history and progress. 'Issue 5/6' includes:
    Irene Cheng on the New Silk Road
    Bart Goldhoorn on Capitalist Realism
    Rob Gregory on Catherine Cooke and the state of Moscow's modern architecture
    Leo Ou-fan Lee on Shanghai circa 1930
    Peter Lynch on El Lissitsky
    Thomas de Monchaux on Melnikov's House
    Shrinking Cities on Ivanovo
    Slavoj Zizek on Lenin and freedom today
