St. Petersburg is often referred to as an "open-air museum". The author of this book, photographer and blogger Tatiana Erova, suggests that we take this definition literally and take a tour of the historic center and look closely at the details. The houses, so different from each other, unite forms and styles, constructive and decorative elements. Each part on the facade of a building has its own name. Many people are familiar with such things as an atlas, balcony, column, or spire, for example, 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 - all these names you will meet in the book, learn to distinguish them and quickly find them while walking. Learn architecture like an alphabet and read the city in a new way.
