Description
Soviet Bus Stops by FUEL is a photographic exploration of the unique architectural forms found in Georgia, Ukraine, and Russia. Following the success of his debut volume, photographer Christopher Herwig has returned to the region to discover new examples of these singular bus stops. Her extensive research led him on a 9,000-mile journey across Russia, capturing a diverse range of designs that reflect Soviet values and ideology. From modern and brutal structures to more whimsical forms, such as trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles, and even a statue of St. George slaying the dragon, each bus stop offers a unique glimpse into the country's architectural heritage. A foreword by Owen Hatherley provides new insights into the origins of the Soviet bus stop, shedding light on the government policies that allowed these small forms to flourish. This second volume serves as a valuable companion to Herwig's first book, offering a fascinating document of these important and unique constructions.
