Petersburg is often called "an open-air museum". The author of this book, photographer and blogger Tatyana Yerova, suggests that we take this definition literally and take a tour of the historical center and look at the details. Houses, so different from each other, unite forms and styles, constructive and decorative elements. Each part on the facade of the building has its own name. With such as, for example, atlas, balcony, column or spire, many are familiar, but most of the terms are known only to builders, architects and engineers. This book will tell you the history of architecture on the example of hundreds of photographs of St. Petersburg. Pilasters, lanterns, ears, caryatids and beads, sockets and apples - you will find all these names in the book, learn to distinguish them and quickly find them while walking. Learn architecture like the alphabet and read the city in a new way.
