We’ve already spoken about the beautiful and imaginative projects by Zupagrafika, and we’re delighted to return to their work with another remarkable publication. CIRK: Build Your Own Socialist-Era Modernist Circus explores the striking architecture of 17 permanent circuses built across the former USSR between the 1960s and 1980s.
Through captivating photography and engaging stories, the book reveals these futuristic landmarks, where bold socialist modernism met engineering innovation and public spectacle. As with Zupagrafika’s previous titles, the experience goes beyond the page: readers can assemble five detailed press-out paper models of iconic circus buildings from Bishkek, Chișinău, Dnipro, Moscow and Tashkent.
It is a fascinating tribute to an overlooked architectural heritage, presented with the creativity and craftsmanship that have become Zupagrafika’s signature. Discover more at the official book page.
