A guide to the Socialist Modernist Architecture of Romania and Moldova

The BACU Association -- the folks behind the incredible brutalist Socialist Modernism Tumblr -- have announced a limited run, 800-copy book collecting photos and details on 242 Socialist Modernist "objects" in Romania and the Republic of Moldova.

The book is in Romanian and English, and costs €64.30 with worldwide shipping (slightly cheaper in the EU). I've ordered a copy!

As a result of B.A.C.U. Associations efforts to publish the Socialist Modernist research, we are happy toannounce that the first Architectural Guide of many others to follow, and our second publication, entitledSocialist Modernist Architecture Romania and the Republic of Moldova will be available starting December1st, in 800 copies. The 242 architecture objects included in this volume have been organized by function,into eight sections. At the beginning of each section, a map shows the location of each of the buildingsdescribed. The authors viewpoints and assessments make this volume a surprising incursion into the historyof architecture.
