Soviet Modernist Architecture in Armenia

The series of Soviet Modernist Architecture in Armenia is a continuous project. It is an ode to the architectural heritage that is either lost or unfairly undervalued. The main aim of the project is to reveal the beauty and value of soviet-modernism to the indifferent public through the magic of colors that accentuate the simple yet fantastic forms of these monuments.
