Today, Kharkiv’s unfortunate geographical position on the eastern edge of Europe makes it a frequent target for the Russian army’s relentless shelling and airstrikes. Yet, not long ago, Ukraine’s second-largest city was a vibrant centre of student life, progressive art, intellectual thought, and techno-logical innovation, all spiced by the tough post-industrial identity of its citizens. Born from waves of migration, modernisation, industrialisation, and revolution, Kharkiv trod a stormy path from its origins as a Cossack military fortress to a period (1919–1934) when it was the capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. This decade and a half was a golden age, marked by a dramatic construction boom that turned Kharkiv into a legendary Modernist city.

In this publication, author Ievgeniia Gubkina takes the reader on a journey through the city’s history and architecture, from its Old Centre to its New Centre, home to Derzhprom, a Constructivist gem which was also the embodiment of a new model of social and economic relations. This architectural guide is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of freedom of Kharkiv’s citizens. But it is also an important act of remembering and resistance: in documenting the city’s buildings in words and photographs, even as many of them are, day after day, being destroyed by Russian bombs, it keeps them intact and alive in our minds as a model for the city’s future.

This title is part of the Histories of Ukrainian Architecture programme initiated by DOM publishers in response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty on 24 February 2022.

About the Author:

Ievgeniia Gubkina, born 1985, architect, researcher and curator. Organised and held numerous conferences. Co-founder of the NGO Urban Forms Center. In 2013 she started the women’s avant-garde movement Modernistky. Her research interests include modernist architecture, urban planning and planned cities as well as the heritage of Socialist cities. Currently working on a PhD project on Soviet workers’ settlements in Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s. Lives and works in Kharkiv.

Since the Euromaidan, Kyiv has been the place where Europe‘s future is decided between East and West. Meanwhile, the hybrid war in eastern Ukraine and on the Crimean peninsula has escalated into an open Russian war of aggression. Significant buildings in the capital Kyiv and vital infrastructure has come under fire.

The Kyiv Architectural Guide presents over 100 buildings worth seeing from 100 years of the city‘s history, compiled by Ukrainian architectural historian Semen Shyrochyn. The typical residential complexes of avant-garde architecture, the imposing palaces of the Stalin era, the iconic designs of Soviet modernism, as well as the most significant construction projects built since independence are also expertly presented.

In over 300 pages, this architectural guide proves that Kyiv is much more than the capital of Ukraine. Kyiv is an inseparable part of the European community of nations, where mutual respect of values counts more than the power of the strongest.

From celebrated design expert and interior designer Athena Calderone, a look into how creatives decorate their spaces

Beautiful design isn’t just pleasant to look at; it improves the quality of our lives. In Live Beautiful, the highly anticipated design book by Athena Calderone, the EyeSwoon creator taps into her international network of interior decorators, fashion designers, and tastemakers to reveal how carefully crafted interiors come together. She also opens the doors to two of her own residences.

With each homeowner, Calderone explores the initial spark of inspiration that incited their design journey. She then breaks down the details of the rooms — like layered textures and patterns, collected pieces, and customized vignettes — and offers helpful tips on how to bring these elevated elements into your own space. Filled with gorgeous photography by Nicole Franzen, Live Beautiful is both a showpiece of exquisite design and a guide to creating a home that’s thoughtfully put together.

Славутич – украинский провинциальный город к северу от Киева – во многом кажется принадлежащим другой эпохе. Город был построен после ядерной катастрофы, которая произошла в 1986 году на Чернобыльской АЭС, для переселения рабочих электростанции из загрязненной Припяти. Славутич – последний идеальный плановый город Советского Союза.

Однако тема Славутича весьма актуальна – особенно в период политического кризиса в Восточной Европе. Славутич является архитектурной манифестацией дружбы советских народов. Архитекторы восьми республик СССР участвовали в планировании и строительстве города. В результате, постмодернистская архитектура Славутича одновременно характеризуется социалистическими, советскими парадигмами и региональным воздействием Кавказа, Балтии и России. Кроме того, поиски последнего поколения советских архитекторов экологически устойчивой, удобной для жилья архитектуры, безусловно, актуальны и сегодня.

Архитектурный путеводитель по Славутичу документирует все районы и большинство зданий города, давая критический анализ уникальной поздней советской архитектуры и градостроительства в контексте Перестройки.

Slavutych, a city in the far north of Ukraine, occupies a strategic position where the borders of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia meet. Built in the aftermath of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear disaster to replace the contaminated homes of the power plant’s workers, it is the last purpose-built ideal city of the Soviet Union – and a unique architectural and political experiment.

Planned and constructed by architects from across the Soviet republics, Slavutych reflects both the diversity and contradictions of its time: Postmodernist forms infused with socialist paradigms; regional motifs from the Caucasus, the Baltics, and Russia; and an early awareness of ecological and human-centred design. In the decades since its founding the city has faced economic upheavals, demographic change, and, most recently, the challenges of war. However, its strong civic spirit has made it a model of urban resilience – demonstrating how an engaged community can sustain and adapt an entire city.

Marking the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl catastrophe, this second, fully revised edition presents a sharpened perspective on Slavutych’s architecture and urban form. It documents all districts – including those renamed in 2022 as part of Ukraine’s derussi-fication – and offers a critical analysis of this late Soviet planned city in the shifting geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe.

This architectural guide is part of the Histories of Ukrainian Architecture programme initiated by DOM publishers in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty on 24 February 2022.

Carla Sozzani opened Galleria Carla Sozzani in September 1990 as a space for art, photography, and design housed in a converted garage at 10 Corso Como in Milan. Along with American artist Kris Ruhs, Sozzani created a space like no other. Rejecting ordinary retail norms, this concept store has always promoted a different philosophy — that of slow shopping, a succession of spaces and events that prioritize lifestyle over object acquisition. In this book, Sozzani describes her world: her style, personal taste, and opinions on fashion, travel, design, and lifestyle. The Galleria now incorporates a bookshop, a fashion and design store, and a garden café, and it is one of Milan’s hippest and most exquisitely curated spaces — a destination in itself. 10 Corso Como has become the nexus of a global network of cultural exchange through fashion, food, art, and photography that continues to inspire fashion and design. In recent years, two additional locations have been added: 10 Corso Como–Comme des Garçons in Tokyo in 2002 and a Seoul branch in 2008.

A celebration of Britain's diverse housing styles throughout the twentieth century and beyond.

This illuminating book is a fascinating insight into Britain’s built heritage and the diverse housing styles of the twentieth century. Redesigned and updated in a brand-new edition, it showcases 100 houses, from throughout the 20th century and stretching into the 21st, that represent the range of architectural styles throughout the years and show how housing has adapted to suit urban life. Each house is accompanied by stunning photography and texts written by leading architectural critics and design historians, including Gavin Stamp, Elain Harwood, Barnabas Calder, Alan Powers and Gillian Darley.

From specially commissioned architect-designed houses for private individuals to housing built for increased workforces, each of the 100 houses brings a different design style or historical story. There are houses built as part of garden cities, semi-detached suburban dwellings, housing estates, eco-houses, almshouses, converted factories and affordable post-war homes. Architectural styles encompass mock Tudor, modernist, Arts and Crafts and brutalism, and featured architects include Giles Gilbert Scott, Walter Gropius, Edwin Lutyens, Powell and Moya and David Chipperfield.

The book also contains essays that explore the social and political aspects of housing design in Britain over the last 100 years, looking at the impact the world wars had on housing, exploring domestic technology and building materials and discovering how the modern house came about. This compelling book gives a glimpse into the wonderful housing Britain has to offer and is a must-have for all fans of design history and architecture.

An accessible primer to the most important architectural touchstones of our time by today’s leading architects and teachers of architecture.

For this volume, over forty internationally renowned architects and educators — from Peter Eisenman and the late Zaha Hadid to Rafael Moneo and Cesar Pelli — were asked to list the top 100 twentieth-century architectural projects they would teach to students. The contributors were encouraged to select built projects where formal, spatial, technological, and organizational concepts responded to dynamic historical, cultural, social, and political circumstances. The capacity of these buildings to resist, adapt, and invent new typologies solidifies their timeless relevance to future challenges.

The result is presented here in this unique volume: a master list of the top 100 “must-know” built works of architecture designed and completed between 1900 and 2000. Ranging from houses and apartment buildings to museums and buildings for education and government, the book offers a wealth of extraordinary works of design and construction and is an essential edition for anyone with an interest in architecture and design.
