Description
Concrete Siberia: Soviet Landscapes of the Far North by Zupagrafika explores the modernist architecture of Siberia's cities, from the Ural Mountains to the Arctic Circle. Over 100 photographs capture the stark beauty of post-war buildings and the daily lives of their inhabitants in Novosibirsk, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk, Irkutsk, and Yakutsk. The book is divided into six chapters, featuring a range of architectural styles and structures, including microrayons, industrial monotowns, and prefabricated panel blocks. A foreword by architectural critic Konstantin Budarin provides context and insight into the featured cities and buildings. With orientative maps and informative texts, Concrete Siberia offers a unique perspective on Soviet urban planning and architecture.
