Brutalism and Modernism in Soviet Architecture. Masterpieces of Glass and Concrete
«Ship-house», «ring-house», house on legs, «flying saucer», «golden brains» and «giant gear» - many Soviet buildings from the era of modernism have earned special nicknames due to the uniqueness of... their forms. Today, the legacy of architecture from the 1960s to the 1980s occupies an increasingly prominent place in the hearts of architecture enthusiasts, ranking alongside masterpieces from other trends of the 20th century - constructivism and «Stalinist Empire style».
This book features over 50 outstanding buildings in the style of modernism and brutalism, constructed throughout the USSR, from Tallinn to Almaty.
