Description
Summary:From a historiographic perspective, Leonid Maksheev is considered a prominent representative of mature and late Modernism. As an emigrant from Russia, Maksheev was a member of the youngest generation of architects to be educated in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. His rich Belgrade opus is primarily composed of residential architecture, but his projects for a number of industrial structures have also been preserved. Although he is regularly mentioned in a broad range of articles, contributions and monographs dedicated to architects who emigrated from Russia, little has been written specifically about his work, and his architectural oeuvre has yet to be fully reviewed, analyzed and valorized. This work therefore aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed insight into the life and work of Leonid Maksheev, with a special emphasis on his Belgrade opus.
