Item consists of a video recording by Eric Bednarski entitled "MDM". MDM explores the relationship between architecture and ideology by focusing on one Warsaw neighbourhood. The Marszalkowska housing district was one of the first and most famous of Poland’s 1950s socialist-realist housing developments. Conceived on a monumental scale as a model of socialist planning and an architectural show-piece for the new Soviet-Backed Communist regime, it rose up from the ruins of a city almost completely destroyed in WWII. Architects, planners and urban and cultural historians evoke the controversies surrounding MDM’s conception and construction. They examine the changing meanings that have attached to it over the years, and its place in the Warsaw of today.
