Description
Tashkent: A Modernist Capital is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the city's architectural heritage. Established over 2,000 years ago, Tashkent has played a significant role in Central Asia as a crossroads of cultures and resources. The city's modernist architecture, built between the 1960s and early 1990s, offers a unique vision of its past and present. Photographer Karel Balas presents a collection of never-before-seen photographs that reveal the modernist buildings of Tashkent. These structures, including the State Museum of the Arts, the Lenin Museum, and the Hotel Uzbekistan, tell captivating stories about the city's rich cultural heritage. By exploring these buildings, readers can gain insight into the social function and character of Central Asia during this period. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Soviet modernism and its impact on urban development in Central Asia.
