Ufa istoricheskaia. Kniga vtoraia: dereviannoe zodchestvo (Historical Ufa. Book 2: Wooden architecture)
Ufa: Kitap, 2017. Ufa, as the principal city of the Ufa Guberniya and the Bashkir region, had need of a range of building types — civic buildings, places of worship for various ethnic groups, houses for civil servants and merchants. Eaves, shudders, doors, gateways, cornices, and window frames were seldom merely functional: imaginative design and skillful wood carvers created a style that resembles what in the United States is sometimes called carpenter Gothic. In spite of wood's relative fragility, the legacy of wooden architecture and wood carving in the city is abundant. Showing both whole houses and carefully photographed design details, the authors bring out the distinctive beauty of the material and style. 334 p., 29 cm, approx. 300 color illus. , Rus. Item #3244
