From the years 1920 through 1991, Armenia was part of the Soviet Union. Known mostly as the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (in 1990 it was renamed the Republic of Armenia), it was a place where industrialization flourished, and utilitarian Soviet-style architecture reigned. Now more than 25 years since the USSR’s dismantling, much of that architecture remains- especially in Yerevan, the country’s vibrant capital. In this series, Armenian illustrator, graphic designer and architect Nvard Yerkanian presents Soviet Modernist Architecture in Armenia, creating magically colored monuments, in a series of unique digital collectibles, documenting and memorializing on the blockchain the disappearing heritage of these buildings that shaped the city's history and visual landscape for generations.
