Its authors trace the material from antiquity - Etruscan and Roman terracotta reliefs and brick entablatures - through the elaborately carved terracotta facades of medieval Central Asian architecture and the revival of architectural terracotta in the steel-framed skyscrapers of interwar America, before turning to the technology, coloring, and structural fixing of terracotta cladding as practiced in the contemporary Soviet building industry. Detailed chapters cover clay selection and firing technology, engobe (slip) coloring and reduction-fired glazes, tile format and texture design, and the mechanics of fastening terracotta panels to a building's structural frame, illustrated with technical drawings, historical plates, and - most strikingly - an actual tipped-in sheet of fired terracotta color samples produced from Gzhel and Kudinovo clays with mineral colorant additions, demonstrating achievable facade colors directly rather than through printed reproduction. The book closes with a case study of terracotta cladding used on the new buildings erected along Gorky Street (Tverskaya) during Moscow's major 1930s reconstruction, one of the signature architectural projects of the Stalinist rebuilding of the capital. Issued in a modest print run of only 3,000 copies, the volume is cited as a standard reference in later Russian scholarship on terracotta, and remains a scarce primary source for the material culture and building technology of Soviet architecture at the height of its \"Stalinist Empire\" phase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44620366217258,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/7_001.jpg?v=1785148325","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/filippov-a-v-filippova-s-v-brik-f-g-architectural-terracotta-arkhitekturnaya-terrakota-binding-by-i-a-korallov-1941-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
