Architecture 58–89 / pre-sale

The BiggBoss publishing house, at the end of its fifteen-year existence, has decided to realize one of the largest book projects in its history. ARCHITECTURE 58–89 is the most extensive publication to date on stigmatized pre-revolutionary architecture from the years 1958–1989. This ambitious endeavor took nearly ten years to produce, with around thirty experts presenting over forty architects, author pairs, or groups that significantly impacted the history of our architecture during that period. The book is officially released on March 1, 2022, and you can already pre-order it.
Important notice for all pre-orders: Did you know that the book A5889 will weigh more than 5.5 kg? It will be quite a hefty architectural bible. For this reason, we will only hand over the shipment to PPL, which offered us the cheapest price for delivery. We immensely value your purchase and trust, so we do not want you to pay anything extra. Both the screen print and the publication will be delivered to you in the way you choose in the cart – you can either pick up both treasures in person or we will deliver both to your address. Unfortunately, the combination of personal pickup and PPL delivery is not possible.
Two volumes of nearly fourteen hundred pages serve as a solid foundation for reconciling the relationship between the general public and the stigmatized architecture of the pre-revolutionary decades.
