Soviet Modernism, Brutalism, Post-modernism: Buildings and Projects in Ukraine 1960-1990

Bok av Alex Bykov
This new publication is a comprehensive study of Soviet Modernism in Ukraine. The authors and architects, Oleksiy Bykov and Ievgeniia Gubkina, have studied modernism in architecture in depth over many years. In this 250-page book, they explore the uniqueness of modernist ob-jects in all its forms - from interior de-sign to city plans - across the entire ter-ritory of Ukraine and over three full dec-ades. Furthermore, this title explores the differences between the main concepts in the debate on late Soviet architecture, in which the term "brutalism" has, un-til now, been understood as a western phenomenon.
