Parallels of German Avant-garde Architecture and Development in Kyiv

This comparative analysis reveals striking parallels between German and Kyiv architectural developments in the early 20th century, highlighting shared trends from Art Nouveau to avant-garde movements. The study examines key structures like Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer's Fagus Factory (1910-1911), Max Berg's Centennial Hall (1911-1913), and Kyiv's Stalin district power plant (1926–1930) by Mikhailo Parusnikov, among others. It traces the evolution from eclecticism to modernism, noting influences such as Werkbund, Bauhaus, constructivism, and Soviet neoclassicism. The research underscores how Kyiv's architectural trajectory reflects broader international artistic transitions, including Stalinist empire and post-war modernism.
