Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An investigative record of the architectural movement emblematic of the Soviet Orient. After World War II, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, was designated as the capital of the Soviet Orient, a vitrine of socialism in the East. Conceived by both local and Moscow architects, the distinctive quality of T…ashkent modernism (196491) emerges from the tension between the Soviet Union's ambition for the city and the locals' endeavor to retain their city's character. This volume is an outgrowth of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI project, a research and preservation effort organized around a conference and exhibition held in 2023. The conference's title, Where in the World Is Tashkent, was drawn from the 2000 American Institute of Architects conference Where in the World Is Chicago, and its organizers shared a similar aim in re-situating the city of Tashkent as a paradigm for modernist architecture. The book consists of two interwoven layers. The first section contains a series of written and visual essays, while the second includes 15 building monographs, detailing their histories, protection inventories and intervention strategies. Case studies include the Cosmonauts metro station and the Tashkent outpost of the Vladimir Lenin museum. Altogether, the volume explores key themes related to the architectural, social and cultural history of Tashkent and its current condition. More than just another peripheral case of multiple modernities or a white spot on the world map of architectural modernism of the 20th century, this architecture-being relevant to the global cultural scene-reflects the colonial, postcolonial and, at the same time, decolonial aspects of the Soviet social and cultural experiment. AUTHORS: Francesco Bandarin was the director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Saida Mirziyoyeva is a politician and the daughter of the president of Uzbekistan. Rem Koolhaas is a Dutch architect and professor at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. SELLING POINTS: . Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan, designated as the capital of the Soviet Orient after World War II. Designed as a Model Soviet City, it is a place where modernist nationalistic Soviet architecture meets Indigenous Islamic aesthetics. . This massive (920+ pages) illustrated paperback with flaps looks at Tashkent through written and visual essays, and then takes a deep dive into 15 building case studies, including Cosmonauts metro station and the Vladimir Lenin museum. . The book grows out of a 2023 conference, "Where in the World Is Tashkent," as part of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI research and preservation project, which received a lot of press including in Arch Daily, Dezeen and Design Boom: 500 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Given its geographical location, developed resources and multicultural history, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, continues to be one of the most important centers of Central Asia. Since the Soviet era, numerous efforts were made to conserve and restore architectural monuments that speak to the…rich ancient and medieval history of the region. By contrast, the modernist architecture of the 1960s-1980s, which articulated the idea of a modern, forward-looking society, was never perceived as heritage. With the arrival of the market economy and after the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991, the architecture of the previous three decades, which focused on social issues and economy of means, lost relevance. Today, this modernist layer of Tashkent is gaining recognition as a unique artistic, cultural and social phenomenon that is best equipped to reveal the specific character of the modernization of Soviet Central Asia. More than just another 'peripheral case' of multiple modernities or a point on the global map of twentieth-century architectural modernism, this architecture is relevant to the global cultural scene, reflecting the radical aspects of the Soviet social and cultural experiment. This publication combines the materials of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI project, for which an international team of architects, historians and restoration experts joined forces on recording and restoring the city's modernist legacy. This comprehensive book presents research results alongside insights that contextualize the work in a broader framework of Soviet and Uzbekistan history. It provides a strategic plan for conservation and adaptation of this important architectural heritage which resonates with preservation ambitions of modernist architectures on a global scale.The publication consists of two parts. The first part contains a series of written and visual essays, while the second encompasses twelve building monographs that present histories, protection inventories and intervention strategies for the selected buildings.Initiated and commissioned by the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan.; Taschkent, die Hauptstadt Usbekistans, wurde im Laufe ihrer Geschichte von verschiedenen Kulturen geprägt. Nach dem Erdbeben von 1966, das die städtische Infrastruktur weitläufig zerstörte, wurde die Stadt von Architekt:innen aus der gesamten Sowjetunion in Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Expert:innen umfassend wiederaufgebaut. Die daraus resultierende modernistische Architektur aus den Jahren 1964-1991 ist einzigartig in Taschkent und spiegelt das facettenreiche soziale Gefüge der Stadt wider.Diese Publikation vereint die Materialien des Projekts «Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI», Projekts, für das ein internationales Team an Architekt:innen, Historiker:innen und Restaurationsexpert:innen gemeinsam das modernistische Erbe der Stadt aufgezeichnet und wiederhergestellt hat. Dieses umfassende Buch präsentiert Forschungsergebnisse sowie Erkenntnisse, die die Werke in einen breiteren Rahmen der usbekischen und sowjetischen Geschichte einordnen. Es bietet einen strategischen Plan für die Konservierung und Erhaltung dieses wichtigen architektonischen Erbes, im Einklang mit Bestrebungen zur Erhaltung von modernistischer Architektur auf globaler Ebene.Die Publikation besteht aus zwei Teilen. Der erste Band enthält eine Reihe von schriftlichen und visuellen Essays, während der zweite Teil fünfzehn Gebäudemonografien umfasst, die Geschichte, Schutzverzeichnisse und Interventionsstrategien für die ausgewählten Gebäude darlegen.Initiiert und in Auftrag gegeben durch die Art and Culture Development Foundation von Usbekistan. 948 pp. Englisch.
