Chechnya and North Caucasus: Architectural Guide

Stretching between the Black and Caspian Seas, the North Caucasus is a region of extraordinary cultural and architectural complexity, shaped by mountain landscapes, ancient communities, Soviet ambition and centuries of exchange between Europe and Asia.

This extensive architectural guide brings together more than 130 buildings across seven geographical and ethno-cultural areas. It moves from the stone towers of Ingushetia and mountain settlements of Dagestan to the spas and sanatoriums of the Caucasus, Soviet resort architecture in Sochi, monumental art, modernist experiments and the dramatic transformation of Grozny.

Edited by Gianluca Pardelli and drawing on previously unpublished material alongside contributions from a group of specialists, the book offers a rare architectural portrait of a region whose built environment reflects an exceptional diversity of histories, cultures and ways of life.
