Checking in with style

The world's most enchanting hotels

Flip through this book and take a trip through 72 of the world's most enchanting, welcoming, and unforgettable hotels. Some are sleek and minimal, others charmingly plush and traditionally luxurious; whether you prefer a secluded rural retreat or the pulsing centre of the urban experience, you'll find a room - or suite - to your taste. However, what all these establishments share is personality, atmosphere, sophistication and a great location.

Similarly, though their rooms range from modest to extravagant, all of them represent excellent value, no matter which end of the price scale, from two to five star hotels. The eclectic mix includes the romantic hotel Spielweg in Germany's Black Forest, where everyone should spend Christmas once in their life; the secret jewel Ksar Char-Bagh in Marrakech; the Al Mamlouka in the middle of Damascus, and the most exquisite Spa hotel in Jordan, the Evason Ma’In Hot Springs. Other highlights are the Shigar Fort Residence, a 400-year-old palace saved and restored by the Aga Khan Foundation in Northern Pakistan; a sensitively restored 1930's colonial guest house, the Boddhi Tree Del Gusto in Phnom Penh, for less than 40 dollars a night; or the outstanding Corbusier-style beach villas in Kep, Cambodia, called Knai Bang Chatt resort. To get away from it all, there's Richard Gere's Bedford Post in upstate New York, or the Golden Rock Estate on the Caribbean island of Nevis, owned by American artist Brice Marden. Finally, nobody who has stayed there will ever forget the stunning Remota, surrounded by the mountains, lakes and glaciers of Chilean Patagonia.

An investigative record of the architectural movement emblematic of the Soviet Orient.

After World War II, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, was designated as the capital of the Soviet Orient, a vitrine of socialism in the East. Conceived by both local and Moscow architects, the distinctive quality of Tashkent modernism (1964-91) emerges from the tension between the Soviet Union's ambition for the city and the locals' endeavor to retain their city's character.

This volume is an outgrowth of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI project, a research and preservation effort organized around a conference and exhibition held in 2023. The conference's title, "Where in the World Is Tashkent," was drawn from the 2000 American Institute of Architects conference "Where in the World Is Chicago," and its organizers shared a similar aim in re-situating the city of Tashkent as a paradigm for modernist architecture.

The book consists of two interwoven layers. The first section contains a series of written and visual essays, while the second includes 15 building monographs, detailing their histories, protection inventories and intervention strategies. Case studies include the Cosmonauts metro station and the Tashkent outpost of the Vladimir Lenin museum. Altogether, the volume explores key themes related to the architectural, social and cultural history of Tashkent and its current condition. More than just another "peripheral case" of multiple modernities or a white spot on the world map of architectural modernism of the 20th century, this architecture--being relevant to the global cultural scene--reflects the colonial, postcolonial and, at the same time, decolonial aspects of the Soviet social and cultural experiment.

______________

Given its geographical location, developed resources and multicultural history, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, continues to be one of the most important centers of Central Asia. Since the Soviet era, numerous efforts were made to conserve and restore architectural monuments that speak to the rich ancient and medieval history of the region. By contrast, the modernist architecture of the 1960s–1980s, which articulated the idea of a modern, forward-looking society, was never perceived as heritage. With the arrival of the market economy and after the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991, the architecture of the previous three decades, which focused on social issues and economy of means, lost relevance. Today, this modernist layer of Tashkent is gaining recognition as a unique artistic, cultural and social phenomenon that is best equipped to reveal the specific character of the modernization of Soviet Central Asia. More than just another “peripheral case” of multiple modernities or a point on the global map of twentieth-century architectural modernism, this architecture is relevant to the global cultural scene, reflecting the radical aspects of the Soviet social and cultural experiment.

This publication combines the materials of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI project, for which an international team of architects, historians and restoration experts joined forces on recording and restoring the city’s modernist legacy. This comprehensive book presents research results alongside insights that contextualize the work in a broader framework of Soviet and Uzbekistan history. It provides a strategic plan for conservation and adaptation of this important architectural heritage which resonates with preservation ambitions of modernist architectures on a global scale.

The publication consists of two parts. The first part contains a series of written and visual essays, while the second encompasses twelve building monographs that present histories, protection inventories and intervention strategies for the selected buildings.

Борис Бернаскони – неординарный архитектор России. Ему всего 31 год, а критики утверждают, что это один из тех людей, которые будут творить мир будущего. И действительно, творчество Бориса Бернаскони удивительно точно схватывает глубинный пласт современных культурных изменений. Его проекты – это не просто преобразование и конструирование пространства, а авторское высказывание, работа со смыслами, глобальными контекстами, синтез всего того, что в привычном архитектурном дискурсе отсутствует: интерактивность, современное искусство, многоплановость и мультидисциплинарность. В монографии представлены многочисленные нашумевшие проекты архитектора, такие как проект пермского музея, «Здание-Матрешка», «Здание-Тетрис», офис компании BBDO, концепция развития территории фабрики «Красный Октябрь» и др.

«Архитектурная группа ДНК» сегодня руководима тремя людьми – Константином Ходневым, Натальей Сидоровой и Даниилом Лоренцом. Двое последних – выпускники Мастерской экспериментального учебного проектирования под руководством Евгения Асса. У всех троих, помимо этого, за плечами работа в зарубежных или ведущих российских архитектурных бюро. Впрочем, не упуская из виду бэкграунд, нельзя сводить творчество этой группы только к нему. В процессе работы у архитекторов выработалось свое собственное кредо, основанное на понимании архитектурное деятельности как одновременно прагматичного решения конкретных задач и поэтического высказвания, которое должно вызывать определенный отклик. Каждая идея выражается ощущениями, ощущения воплощаются в форме, материалах и определяют их взаимодействие для того, чтобы генерировать посредством постройки исходные ощущения. Собственная философия каждого проекта определяет главные и вспомогательные темы. Общее решение обусловливает детали. Архитекторы «ДНК» создают сооружения, подчеркивающие богатство реальности и наполняющие контекст новыми свойствами и значениями.

«Проект Меганом» называют одним из самых таинственных бюро на российском архитектурном небосклоне. на протяжении девяти лет, прошедших с момента основания бюро Александрой Павловой, Юрием Григоряном, Павлом Иванчиковым и Ильей Кулешовым – этот эпитет вроде бы и развенчивается, поскольку проектируют и строят архитекторы много, а с другой стороны – подтверждается, потому что постройки вызывают разнообразные мнения, но – почти всегда – удивление. главная составляющая проектов «Меганома» – неожиданность, хотя, как говорят сами архитекторы, вдохновение они черпают преимущественно в природе. умение обращать природу в архитектуру и стало главным козырем мастерской. особый интерес представляет тот факт, что архитекторы, даже проектируя торговые комплексы, не отказываются работать с малыми архитектурными формами.

Сергей Чобан – архитектор с большими творческими планами, практическим опытом и уникальным пониманием своих задач. Он окончил архитектурный факультет института имени И. Репина в Петербурге, затем несколько лет работал как самостоятельный архитектор, а с 1992 года живет и активно работает в Германии. Освоение двух архитектурных традиций, отличных друг от друга по техническим, эстетическим, финансовым возможностям и пониманию специфики времени и пространства, сформировало фирменный стиль Сергея Чобана – чуткость к градостроительному контексту, внимание к деталям, фактуре, свойствам материалов, стремление насытить форму дополнительным точным и емким содержанием и гармонично интегрировать в проект новейшие инженерные достижения. Среди опубликованных проектов – многофункциональный комплекс «Башня Федерация» на территории «Москва-Сити», жилой комплекс «Дом у моря», административный и общественно деловой комплекс «Невская ратуша» в Санкт-Петербурге.

Этот выпуск TATLIN MONO – особенный. Он посвящен деятельности Театра Архитектурных Форм, или мастерской-таф. В монографию вошли интервью с основателем и идеологом мастерской Александром Ермолаевым и его коллегами-единомышленниками, а также фрагменты эссе их учеников. ТАФ проделал большой путь с момента основания в 1979 году, превратившись из художественного кружка в профессиональную проектную студию-мастерскую. Сегодня ТАФ – это Институт Живого Сознания, соединяющий педагогику с целенаправленной издательской, выставочной работой и художественным творчеством. О нюансах педагогической практики, развитии творческого мышления у студентов и воспитании современного человека в мастерской-таф читайте на страницах MONO 29.

Бюро Бориса Левянта ABD architects существует с 1991 года. Большой опыт сотрудничества с рядом западных архитекторов и инженеров, знание европейской традиции сформировали особый стиль и почерк Бориса Левянта. Хотя архитектор не любит привязывать свое творчество к каким-либо традициям и строго заданным характеристикам, он убежден, что архитектура должна оцениваться с позиции качества, рациональности, масштаба, лаконичности и соответствия современности. К этому он стремится, и это воплощает в своих четких и выверенных проектах. Наиболее известные из них: бизнес-парк «Крылатские холмы», здание «Мерседес-Бенц Плаза», торгово-развлекательный комплекс «ЕвроПарк», конкурсный проект многофункционального высотного здания в Новосибирске.
