Product detailed description
ARCHITECTURE 58–89 represents Bigg Boss’s most ambitious publishing endeavour—a comprehensive, two-volume compendium documenting the architecture of 1958–1989 in Czechoslovakia. Conceived and edited by Vladimir 518, this project spans nearly a decade of research by thirty experts, profiling over forty architects, duos, and collectives whose work shaped the nation’s built environment during the communist era.
Challenging the stigma surrounding “communist architecture,” Vladimir 518 argues that most designs bear no ideological form, yet they remain misunderstood and at risk of demolition. By combining historical drawings, designs, and previously unpublished photographs from archives nationwide, the volumes provide both a visual feast and critical context.
Enhanced by 20YY Designers’ bold graphic layout, the publication not only showcases standout buildings but also situates them within their political, technological, and social milieus—covering architectural styles, construction methods, applied arts, women’s roles in architecture, and heritage‐preservation debates.
