Kyiv: Architectural Guide
Kyiv’s architecture tells the story of a city repeatedly transformed by shifting ideas of modernity, identity and independence.
Spanning a century and more than 100 buildings, this architectural guide moves from the experimental forms of the 1920s avant-garde through the monumental architecture of the Stalin era and the distinctive language of Soviet Modernism, before turning to the city that emerged after Ukrainian independence in 1991.
Compiled by Ukrainian architectural historian Semen Shyrochyn, the book offers a richly illustrated portrait of Kyiv through the buildings that have shaped its changing urban landscape. Published at a moment when the city’s architecture and infrastructure are themselves under threat, it is also a record of a remarkable architectural heritage and its enduring place within European culture.
