Not sci-fi but an example of Soviet futurism in architecture:

I'd love to have some more information on this building. It's somewhere in the former USSR and that's all I know. Maybe palo5 can shed some light on this.

very interesting... i found a short clip at Schweizer Fernsehen: Cosmic Communist Constructions - Atemberaubend futuristische Architektur in der UdSSR: hier: http://www.videoportal.sf.tv/video?i...3-3bc53d6f0843

the book in the clip contains a picture of this building...

edit: seems to be in tiflis

this site contains another picture... -> the last picture at the end http://www.licht-portal.de/gamlich/henning/110610.htm

second edit: its the former ministry for street construction http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verwalt...tra%C3%9Fenbau

I found a bundle of these in my computer.Maybe others have them to.The 4th one reminds me of a place I did a lot of tramping in when a teenager.

Major props to Norbert84 for starting this thread.
I too am a HUGE sci-fi fan (since my freshman year in high school) and have read well in excess of 500 books. And some of the art on the covers is out of this world (bad pun, I know).
Here a few of my faves ....

The first two are by Chris Foss (Departure & Heavy Lift) and the remaining 4 are unknown to me.
