For many decades

In all their colorful and wonderful shapes

and for anyone who still cherishes the joy of letter writing

providing a bridge between picture identification guides and the non-illustrated academic floras

so grab your cup of cocoa and settle in by the fire

Frederic Chaubin MD26 For many decadesElected the architectural book of the year by the International Artbook and Film Festival in Perpignan, France, Frdric Chaubins Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed explores 90 buildings in 14 former Soviet Republics. Each of these structures expresses what Chaubin considers the fourth age of Soviet architecture, an unknown burgeoning that took place from 1970 until 1990. Contrary to the 1920s and 1950s, no school or main trend emerges here.
