Photographer Dmytro Soloviov has crossed Ukraine documenting its modernist buildings - incredible buildings that successfully blend function, avant-garde aesthetics, and inventive, forward-thinking design. Despite these architectural riches, these buildings, largely from the post-Stalin period, and the architects who designed them remain largely unheralded. Soviet era corruption has tarnished them, neglect diminished them, and the ongoing war threatens them further.
A handsome addition to Fuel's list of Eastern European architecture titles, and made more poignant by the continued peril that these beautiful buildings and the cities that house them face. With an forward by Owen Hatherley, that fixes these buildings into a cultural and historical context, this book is a the most comprehensive publication available on the subject.
