Open City Audio
[Repeated from Thursday 2pm.] Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible and equitable. Today: InterCities.

Gubkina was born in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and fled to London after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, where she now lives in exile. She discusses her upcoming publication “Kharkiv Architectural Guide” and we use it as a lens through which to explore the city’s changing architectural iterations. From a university hub to the capital of Soviet Ukraine, the avant-garde scene in the 1920s to the Stalinist-era "reconstruction" of Kharkiv's modernist buildings, we get a deep insight into the city’s past and a sober reminder of its present.
