Ukrainian Modernism Modernist Architecture of Ukraine

Ukrainian Modernism: Modernist Architecture of Ukraine, published by FUEL, is a revelatory visual survey of Ukraine’s extraordinary modernist architectural heritage — a tradition largely unknown outside the country and currently under grave threat. Dmytro Soloviov documents the remarkable constructivist and functionalist buildings constructed in Ukrainian cities during the Soviet period: workers’ clubs, theatres, department stores, and residential complexes that rank among the most innovative architecture of the twentieth century. Published at a moment when many of these buildings face destruction through war, Ukrainian Modernism is simultaneously a work of architectural history and an act of cultural preservation. Essential for architects, architecture historians, and anyone who recognises the urgency of documenting what is at risk of being lost forever.
