Galina Balashova. Architect of the Soviet, Space Programme

DOM Publishers

English Text.
Berlin, 2015; paperback, pp. 160, 200 b/w and col. ill., cm 21x23.

ISBN: 3-86922-355-3 - EAN13: 9783869223551

Subject: Architects and their Practices

Languages:  english text  

Weight: 0.62 kg


This publication on the work of the Russian architect Galina Balashova presents a unique collection of designs for Soviet cosmonautics. These include plans and design drawings for both Soyuz capsules and space stations such as Salyut and Mir. Balashova acted as a consultant to the Buran programme, the Soviet equivalent of the US American Space Shuttle.
Faced with the duty of demonstrating architectural creativity in manned space capsules, Balashova's remarkable accomplishments when entrusted with this unprecedented task make an impressive read. Striving for harmony and beauty, the architect strikes an emotional chord in the high-tech world of propulsion rockets, laboratories and survival equipment.
Therefore, it is due to Balashova's talent that a unique chapter has been added to Soviet architectural history. Her exceptional achievements, including designs for medals and emblems, are still scarcely known today - even in Russia. Galina Balashova currently lives in Korolev, near Moscow.
