Description
Kyiv's architectural heritage spans over 100 years, with notable buildings reflecting its complex history. This guide presents a comprehensive overview of the city's most significant constructions, from avant-garde residential complexes to imposing palaces and iconic designs of Soviet Modernism. Compiled by Ukrainian architectural historian Semen Shyrochyn, this book explores Kyiv's evolution since Ukraine's independence in 1991. With over 300 pages, it provides a detailed look at the city's vital infrastructure and cultural landmarks, shedding light on its role as an integral part of the European community. Published by DOM publishers in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty, this architectural guide is part of the Histories of Ukrainian Architecture programme.
