Socialist Modernism in the Baltic Countries, 1955–1991

by Dumitru Rusu – B.A.C.U. Association

The eleventh volume of the Socialist Modernism series presents 80 landmarks of socialist modernist architecture in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, organised by function into five sections. A map at the beginning of the book shows the location of every building.

In colour photographs, the B.A.C.U. Association explains the socialist modernist tendencies of the period and presents a functional image of each building and its often original elements, which synthesise local culture and traditions, together with its current state of conservation.
