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.

Terry Farrell was one of the pioneers of the Postmodern style, as seen in his iconic early TV-am building. This is the first book to focus on his interiors, where he consciously developed that style in its heyday and beyond.

As well as the original design for TV-am, the book includes 19 of his most striking interiors, such as the Charles Jencks House, The Dean Gallery, Edinburgh, and Charing Cross Station. Divided into three chapters on home interiors, gallery and museum interiors and workplace interiors, the book shows how Farrell’s designs have been influenced by his work as one of the world’s foremost urban planners and how they are integrated with their urban context.

Terry Farrell Interiors and the Legacy of Postmodernism will appeal to all those interested in contemporary architecture and interior design. It serves as a unique and invaluable document of the Postmodern era and makes Farrell’s argument for the continuing legacy of Postmodernist architecture.

 Terry Farrell is a widely renowned architect whose work can be found all over the world and includes such major works as the MI6 building and the Charing Cross redevelopment in London, The Peak in Hong Kong and Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

Easily the most recognizable architectural style in America, with its brick or shingled facades trimmed in white and ornamented with restrained classical detail, the Colonial Revival emerged in the late nineteenth century and is still the basis for classical design today. The American Style surveys the evolution of the Colonial Revival from the 1890s to the present, focusing on the period from 1900 to the 1930s when New York City was a major center of architecture and decorative arts. Leading architects, including McKim Mead & White, Delano & Aldrich, and Mott B. Schmidt, used its vocabulary for private residences and clubs as well as institutional buildings - banks, schools, churches, and museums.

Richly illustrated with archival photographs and objects from the collections of the Museum of the City of New York and other major institutions, The American Style will be the definitive record of an enduring aesthetic in architecture and decorative arts.

Once in every generation comes a scholar who is a master of both the documentary evidence and the buildings themselves. Such a man is Christoph Luitpold Frommel who, after winning a world-wide reputation, here distils his learning into a new synthesis that is both up-to-date and securely based on primary sources.

The book is not only illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings, plans and reconstructions, but social context, technical innovation and aesthetic judgement are all given due weight, with particular emphasis on the way in which each architect balanced individual inspiration with the accepted canon.

Christoph Luitpold Frommel was born in 1933 and has held academic posts in Germany (Bonn University), the USA (Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, and the University of California, Berkeley) and Italy (La Sapienza, Rome). He was Director of the Bibliotheca Herziana, Rome, from 1980 to 2001.

The Georgian house - whether on a Georgetown street or in a leafy suburb- is considered among the most desireable and comfortable of homes. The Georgian style has stood the test of time, and continues to be popular today. Houses built over two hundred years ago still stand as proud and dignified as when they were first erected.

The book describes the development of the Georgian style, beginning with its intro in the early 18th century up to the mid 19th century. Chapters are also devoted to each element of the house to help understand the ideas, techniques, and materials employed by the original builders. The most complete study of the historical development and importance of the Georgian style, this book is also a practical guide to preserving and restoring a Georgian house.

Adventure through the princely Thurn und Taxis estate, an enchanted palace where 1,000 years of history meets a thoroughly modern family. For 200 years the Thurn und Taxis family have called the palace of St. Emmeram home. Regarded as one of Germany’s finest examples of historicist architecture, the Regensburg residence’s myriad rooms trace centuries of distinctive styles: a Romanesque-Gothic cloister built between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, a neo-Renaissance marble staircase, a number of Rococo and neo-Rococo staterooms, and a Baroque library frescoed in 1737. Celebrated photographer Todd Eberle captures the confluence of high art and grand architecture within the 500-room palace to reveal the curious tale of the Thurn und Taxis family. Complete with stately portraits and scenes of life at St. Emmeram, this monograph offers a glimpse into the world and glamour of one of the most important dynasties of the European aristocracy.

У цій книзі широко представлена ​​одна із найяскравіших сторінок історії світового мистецтва –The Italian Renaissance. Італійський Ренесанс - це епоха безмірного зльоту творчої фантазії, небаченої насамперед свободи людського генія, що гармонійно підкорював усі області доступної йому діяльності - архітектуру, скульптуру, живопис.

У період раннього Відродження мистецтво і культура, що зосередилися і вигодовані у Флоренції та Італії, зазнали радикального оновлення, яке поступово поширилося по всій Європі різними засобами та стилістичними проявами. Відродження ґрунтувалося на оновленому інтересі до Стародавнього світу – від філософії до літератури, від міфології до образотворчого мистецтва – неоплатонічної філософії та гуманізму. Наукові інтереси включали пізнання природи та людини, у тому числі, її анатомії, та пошук нових технологій. Гармонійне поєднання основних мистецтв зростало над рівнем механічного відтворення, щоб перетворитися на вільний вираз тепер уже консолідованих інтелектуальних прерогатив майстра. Перелік великих імен, які зробили цей художній період, таким плідним включає Мазаччо, Брунеллескі, Леонардо, Мікеланджело і Рафаеля.

Through her first book, Bringing Paris Home, Penny Drue Baird established herself as an authority on all things French - interior design, flea market and antiques shopping, Parisian life, and stylish entertaining. In The New French Interior, she moves beyond the traditional historic styles to explore the design elements that make up the fresh, clean look - architectural details adapted from art deco, a monochromatic palette based on creams and ivories highlighted with rich browns and blacks, bold forms in furniture and lighting, and restrained tabletop settings.
 
To illustrate the style, Baird draws on ten of her own recent projects, apartment and house installations, and presents French precedents and influences through specially commissioned photography of Parisian interiors. Images of cafes, markets, shops, and street scenes add to the magical Parisian ambiance she creates.

PENNY DRUE BAIRD is an internationally renowned interior designer, known not only for her design skills but also for her vast knowledge of all things French and for her entertaining and table-top flair. Her firm, Dessins, is based in Paris and New York. An AD Top 100 Designer, she is frequently featured in Architectural Digest and other prestigious magazines.

Originated by art theorists in the Nineteenth Century, the term "Romanesque" refers to a school of religious architecture and design from the early medieval period. As with all terms that attempt to summarise an epoch, "Romanesque" artificially constructs the notion of one unified style, but as this book makes clear, the Romanesque tendency consisted of many different, eclectic characteristics. The investigation back through time leads us across the ancient pilgrim routes of the Pyrenees, and then into a vast range of devotional structures - churches, tombs, monuments, cathedrals and basilicas. Each one carries its own regional imprint and spiritual iconography. Containing rigorously detailed and comprehensive insights into all aspects of Romanesque symbolism and ritual, this book includes analysis of liturgical equipment, and explores the significance of many features of the buildings.

Focusing on the Gothic period, this book gives readers the tools they need to grasp the architectural language and building forms of this style.

Part of a new, accessibly written, and generously illustrated series on architecture through the ages, this book features the Gothic period’s most important architects, buildings and cities, interior and exterior photographs, detailed images, and drawings and plans. The book offers a general introduction to the Gothic period and discusses the primary characteristics of the style, along with the commonly used techniques and materials. A hallmark of the medieval period, Gothic architecture originated in twelfth-century France and lasted until the sixteenth century. Its lofty style expressed spiritual ideals, yet it was also an incredibly innovative movement that introduced such iconic forms as the pointed arch, ribbed vault, and flying buttress. Some of the world’s most famous castles, universities and churches, including Westminster Abbey in London, were designed according to Gothic principles.

The retro-futuristic epoch is one of the most visually spectacular in architecture’s history. The utopian buildings of the 1960s and 1970s never go out of style. This book compiles radical ideas, rediscovered photos, and visionary structures.

Driven by idealistic visions, utopian architecture aimed to overcome social divisions and political strife, to put us in touch with nature, and to enable us to live humane, healthy lives. For half a century, it was both hope and inspiration.

The Tale of Tomorrow surveys this diverse twentieth-century phenomenon, featuring renowned works like The House of the Century or the TWA terminal, as well as lesser-known masterpieces, and profiling major thinkers such as Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen. By digging through archives, corresponding with descendants of departed architects, and restoring photographs, the collection of utopian approaches herein maintains a visual power and infectious optimism.

Looking at past dreams, The Tale of Tomorrow is a call to reclaim our future.
