On the heels of his bestselling Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig locates fresh wonders of the Soviet vernacular in Georgia, Ukraine and Russia itself
After the popular and critical success of his first book, Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig has returned to the former Soviet Union to hunt for more. In this second volume, as well as discovering new stops in the remotest areas of Georgia and Ukraine, Herwig turns his camera to Russia itself. Following exhaustive research, he drove more than 9,000 miles from coast to coast across the largest country in the world, in pursuit of new examples of this singular architectural form.
A foreword by renowned architecture and culture critic Owen Hatherley reveals new information on the origins of the Soviet bus stop. Examining the government policy that allowed these small architectural forms to flourish, he explains how they reflected Soviet values, and how ultimately they remained—despite their incredible individuality—far-flung outposts of Soviet ideology.
The diversity of architectural approaches is staggering: juxtaposed alongside a slew of audacious modern and brutal designs, there are bus stops shaped as trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles, even a bus stop incorporating a statue of St. George slaying the dragon. An essential companion to the first volume, this book provides a valuable document of these important and unique constructions.
苏联公交车站,第二本。个人感觉不如第一本。
评分##太酷了
评分##可爱!想去搭公交。
评分苏联公交车站,第二本。个人感觉不如第一本。
评分##和第一册一起看的。讲到soviet,一般印象都是都市水泥丛林,而这本则着眼乡村之间的公车站。荒芜空间中的红色时刻凝固在一座座造型奇异站台的砖瓦瓷间,而开车追捕它们的摄影旅程格外有趣。
评分##这个系列摄影最好的
评分##确实不如第一本未来感建筑多
评分##补
评分##恣意张扬、充满想象力的建筑,却是孤独与落寞的旧车站,坐在里面等车的人们,还在奋力生活着寻找希望
