Soviet architectural yearbook focused on the achievements and ideas that shaped the architecture of the 1970s. This richly illustrated volume presents public, residential and industrial projects from Moscow, Kyiv, Riga, Yerevan, Ashgabat, Chelyabinsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Sochi and other cities of the former USSR.

Published by Stroyizdat in 1981, the book contains articles by Soviet architects, architectural drawings, plans, photographs and design studies. Topics include urban planning, public buildings, industrial architecture, rural development, landscape architecture, interior design of public spaces, and contemporary architectural theory.

A valuable reference for collectors of Soviet modernism, architectural historians, designers, students and researchers interested in late modernist architecture and urban development of the 1970s.

I also have several other books on Soviet architecture and design available in my store, including a few uncommon editions that are difficult to find and, to the best of my knowledge, are not available in digital form.

If you are interested in purchasing more than one item, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to consider a combined price for multiple books, and combined shipping will usually reduce the overall delivery cost.
