St. Petersburg is often called an "open-air museum." The author of this book, photographer and blogger Tatyana Erova, invites us to take this definition literally and take a tour of the historic center, examining the details. The buildings, so different from one another, share forms and styles, structural and decorative elements. Each part of the building's façade has its own name. Many are familiar with terms like atlas, balcony, column, or spire, but most terms are known only to builders, architects, and engineers. This book will tell you the history of architecture through hundreds of photographs of St. Petersburg. Pilasters, lanterns, ears, caryatids and beads, rosettes and apples—you'll encounter all these names in the book, and you'll learn to recognize them and quickly find them during your walks. Study architecture like an alphabet and read the city in a new way.
