Produktbeschreibung
Since the Euromaidan, Kyiv has been the place where Europe's future is decided between East and West. Meanwhile, the hybrid war in eastern Ukraine and on the Crimean peninsula has escalated into an open Russian war of aggression. Significant buildings in the capital Kyiv and vital infrastructure has come under fire. The Kyiv Architectural Guide presents over 100 buildings worth seeing from 100 years of the city's history, compiled by Ukrainian architectural historian Semen Shyrochyn. The typical residential complexes of avant-garde architecture, the imposing palaces of the Stalin era, the iconic designs of Soviet modernism, as well as the most significant construction projects built since independence are also expertly presented. In over 300 pages, this architectural guide proves that Kyiv is much more than the capital of Ukraine. Kyiv is an inseparable part of the European community of nations, where mutual respect of values counts more than the power of the strongest. This title is part of the Histories of Ukrainian Architecture programme initiated by DOM publishers in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty on 24 February 2022.

Rezensionen

Perlentaucher-Notiz zur Süddeutsche Zeitung-Rezension

"Archiv und Reiseführer zugleich" ist dieser Architekturband, der hundert Kiewer Gebäude zeigt, stellt Rezensent Jan Heidtmann fest. Der Historiker Semen Shyrochyn stellt hier seit 1925 entstandene Gebäude wie das Bauhaus-Kino "Zhovten" vor, aber auch die Achtziger-Jahre-Wohnfabriken der T- und KT-Serien, erfahren wir. Sein Anliegen ist dabei, die Gebäude für die Nachwelt zu bewahren, sollten sie dem russischen Angriffskrieg zum Opfer fallen - oder der schonungslosen Bauindustrie, wie Heidtmann im Gespräch mit dem Autor erfährt. Die Geschichte dieser Architektur möchte Shyrochyn bewahren, unabhängig davon, ob ihm vorgeworfen wird, er sei "pro-russischer Agent", wenn er sich der sowjetischen Nachkriegsarchitektur widmet. Auch sie ist für ihn ganz klar schützenswerter Teil der ukrainischen Geschichte ist. Der Kritiker ist froh, dass sich der Acrhitekturverlag DOM dieses Projekts angenommen hat.
