St. Petersburg: Sankt-Peterburgski gosudarstvenny universitet, 2020. Sewn pb. Founded in 1724, approximately twenty twenty years after the city's foundation by Peter the Great, the university grew with St. Petersburg, and its buildings reflect the architectural history of the city. The Building of Twelve Colleges designed by Domenico Trezzini in the early eighteenth century for the twelve departments of Peter's reorganized government became the central building of the university. Smolnyi Cathedral ensemble designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli in the mid eighteenth century in baroque style; a neoclassical trading arcade of Giacomo Quarenghi from the first years of the nineteenth century; the Art Nouveau mansion now used by the medical faculty; Soviet post-modern style of the 1960s and 70s for the math department are examples of how the university's diverse structures chronicle architectural history. 192 p., 29 cm, approx. 400 color and b/w illus., Rus. and ENGLISH.
