Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc

We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

From plazas to parks, waterfronts to rooftops, The Sourcebook of Contemporary Urban Design by art and architecture editor Francesc Zamora Mola, showcases an outstanding collection of more than 300 global examples of contemporary urban design from around the world.

Finally, each case study provides a full listing of those involved in the project: the design firm and its participating architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors.

This surprising and multi-hued collection of interiors ranges from Dutch colonial to traditional wood and thatched-roof houses, townships, modern city apartments, and funky artist homes, reflecting the country`s tumultuous political history while celebrating its rich culture.

The American South has long been renowned for its hospitality and gracious living, and these qualities are reflected in the region's distinct interior design. Southern Style captures this easygoing yet stylish feel of Southern homes designed to provide comfort the family as well as entertain guests.

Author Mark Mayfield and the editors of Southern Accents magazine have a firm grasp of the essence of Southern style and provide guidance on working the style into your own home; gorgeous full-color photographs provide the visual inspiration. The authors point out that one of the most obvious influences on the South's interiors has been the area's weather and environment. A sleeping-porch bedroom with mosquito netting over the bed, a large verandah stretching the length of the house, a living room filled with floral prints echoing the lush gardens outside are all hallmarks of Southern style. Historical changes have also helped defined the South's present decorating style. While some Southern traditions and trends have fallen by the wayside--for example, the trend of having a formal living room--others, such as formal dining rooms, have abided for decades because of their practical nature or cultural importance.

After a look at the interiors of Southern homes, including living, dining, and bedrooms, the book moves outside to take a look at Southern architecture and gardens. There's also a chapter regarding the South's efforts to preserve old architecture and interiors, as well as a listing of historic Southern homes and museums. A resource guide at the end of the book lists Southern interiors shops by state. The authors of Southern Style have done an impressive job of defining the elegant, warm design style of the South, one that all homeowners, not just Southerners, may want to integrate into their homes.

Фотограф Крістофер Гервіг подолав понад 30 000 км на автомобілі, велосипеді, автобусі та таксі у 13 колишніх радянських країнах, відкриваючи та документуючи ці несподівані скарби сучасного мистецтва.

Від берегів Чорного моря до безкрайнього казахського степу ці автобусні зупинки демонструють різноманітність публічного мистецтва радянської епохи та дають рідкісний погляд на творчі уми того часу. Книга представляє найповнішу та найрізноманітнішу колекцію дизайну радянських автобусних зупинок, коли-небудь зібрану з: Казахстану, Туркменістану, Узбекистану, Киргизстану, Таджикистану, України, Молдови, Вірменії, Абхазії, Грузії, Литви, Латвії та Естонії.

З передмовою письменника, критика та телеведучого Джонатана Мідса.

Після популярного та критичного успіху своєї першої книги Крістофер Гервіг повернувся до колишнього Радянського Союзу, щоб знайти більше радянських автобусних зупинок. У цьому другому томі, окрім відкриття несподіваних прикладів у найвіддаленіших районах Грузії та України, Гервіг звертає свою камеру до самої Росії. Після вичерпного дослідження він проїхав 15 000 км від узбережжя до узбережжя через найбільшу країну світу, у пошуках нових варіацій цієї унікальної архітектурної форми.

Передмова відомого критика архітектури та культури Оуена Хазерлі розкриває нову інформацію про походження радянських автобусних зупинок. Досліджуючи урядову політику, яка дозволила цим «малим архітектурним формам» процвітати, він пояснює, як вони відображали радянські цінності, і як зрештою вони – попри свою неймовірну індивідуальність – залишалися віддаленими форпостами радянської ідеології.

In recent years Russian cities have changed, but the architectural heritage of the Soviet period has not been fully acknowledged. As a result, many modernist buildings have been destroyed, while others have become almost unrecognisable following insensitive renovations.

Russian photographer Arseniy Kotov intends to document these buildings and their surroundings before they are lost forever. He likes to take pictures in winter, during the ‘blue hour’, which occurs immediately after sunset or just before sunrise. At this time, the warm yellow colours inside apartment block windows contrast with the twilight gloom outside. To Kotov, this atmosphere reflects the Soviet period of his imagination. His impression of this time is unashamedly idealistic: he envisages a great civilization, built on a fair society, which hopes to explore nature and conquer space.

Stunning photographs of Soviet Metro Stations from across the former states of the USSR and Russia itself, many of which have never previously been documented

For us, said Nikita Khrushchev in his memoirs, there was something supernatural about the Metro. Visiting any of the dozen or so Metro networks built across the Soviet Union between the 1930s and 1980s, it is easy to see why. Rather than the straightforward systems of London, Paris or New York, these networks were used as a propaganda artwork a fusion of sculpture, architecture and art, combining Byzantine, medieval, baroque and Constructivist ideas and infusing them with the notion that Communism would mean a communal luxury for all. Today these astonishing spaces remain the closest realisation of a Soviet utopia.

Following his best-selling quest for Soviet Bus Stops, Christopher Herwig has completed a subterranean expedition photographing the stations of each Metro network of the former USSR. From extreme marble and chandelier opulence to brutal futuristic minimalist glory, Soviet Metro Stations documents this wealth of diverse architecture. Along the way, Herwig captures individual elements that make up this singular Soviet experience: neon, concrete, escalators, signage, mosaics and relief sculptures all combine build an unforgettably vivid map of the Soviet Metro.

The photographs are introduced by leading architecture, politics and culture author and journalist Owen Hatherley.

In recent times, Soviet architecture in Ukraine has been rather in vogue abroad. At home, however, it is a different story: due to various political and economic factors and the stigma that is attached to everything Soviet, many buildings from the Soviet period are not maintained or even destroyed. The Ukrainian authors Alex Bykov and Ievgeniia Gubkina have decided to fight to save modernist architecture. Based on large-scale research, this book offers a rethinking of postwar Soviet architecture, with Bykov’s photographs documenting buildings in their current state and Gubkina’s criticism and analysis giving an unexpected spin on the multi-faceted modernist architectural movement, putting it in its correct global, historical, and political context. Gubkina also offers a revision of the term Modernism, which is most widely used in Ukraine, and the terms brutalism and post-modernist architecture. This lavishly illustrated title leaves us to question whether we should remain neutral to the steady destruction of these urban ruins and the attempt to wipe this legacy from our memory and whether this Soviet past that is portrayed is really past.

_____________

Новая книга «Советский Модернизм. Брутализм. Постмодернизм» стала кульминацией комплексного исследования архитектуры советского модернизма на Украине. Авторы – архитекторы Алексей Быков и Евгения Губкина – посвятили многие годы изучению интернационального стиля. В этом издании они исследуют уникальность модернистских проектов во всех возможных формах (от дизайна интерьера до планировочной структуры города) на всей территории Украины и в течение трех десятилетий. Кроме того, в этой публикации анализируются основные понятия и идеи, фигурирующие в дискуссиях о позднесоветской архитектуре, в которых термин «брутализм» до сих пор понимался как исключительно западное явление.
