A History of Russian Architecture Book

The most comprehensive study of this subject to date, A History of Russian Architecture surveys Russian building from the masonry churches of tenth-century Kievan Rus to the pre-fabricated built environments of the present. The book performs a dual function - it is a cultural, as well as an architectural history of Russia, demonstrating how the architecture of Russia has responded to the political, cultural and social environments in which it was built.Read More

  • Product Description

    Since its initial publication in 1993, A History of Russian Architecture has remained the most comprehensive study of the topic in English, a volume that defines the main components and sources for Russia?s architectural traditions in their historical context, from the early medieval period to the present. This edition includes a new Prologue and elegant photographic essay drawn from the author?s research and fieldwork over the past decade in remote areas of the Russian north and Siberia.

    Subject to influences from east and west, Russian architecture?s distinctive approaches to building are documented in four parts of this definitive study: early medieval Rus up to the Mongol invasion in the mid-twelfth century; the revival of architecture in Novgorod and Muscovy from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries; Peter the Great?s cultural revolution, which extended through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and the advent of modern, avant-garde, and monumental Soviet architecture. Beautifully illustrated and carefully researched, A History of Russian Architecture provides an invaluable cultural history that will be of interest to scholars and general audiences alike.
