Description
Special offer £19.95 - rrp £52.35
In architectural terms modern Russia is largely unmapped territory. This book, exclusive to RIBA Bookshops in the UK, changes that. 55 projects illustrate the variety of post-Soviet architecture, from nostalgic bulbous domes to striking wooden strangeness. A wide range of styles is to be expected in such a huge country, straddling two continents, and the book conveys this well. The photography is of a high quality, the text (in English and German) is clear and concise and there are plans of most buildings.

Review by Samuel Carpenter, Book Buyer, RIBA Bookshops.
Buildings in Russia are unique. The shadow of communism, architecturally speaking a singular experiment, literally looms over the streets of her cities. However, the partial collapse of central planning, allied with the new experiment in virtually unfettered speculation, has sparked a raw chaos of construction. The eclectic tumult of architectural centre Nizhny Novgorod, kitsch Stalinist-classical collisions in Moscow, fabulous new ecclesiastical buildings and surely the most ornately fronted multi-storey car park in the world - all leap like Nureyev from the pages of this superbly-produced book. Ugly, sublime, nostalgic, futuristic, frequently all of these and more, Russian buildings are unique.
