The first year of our research program is focused on Tbilisi’s Landscape, examining how its rugged terrain has shaped architectural choices.
Tbilisi, one of Europe's oldest capitals, stands among global landmarks. Its unique urban shape comes from its rich history and the distinctive landscape it’s built on.
The program's commencement involves translating and working on a new English edition of Vakhtang Tsintsadze’s monograph, “Tbilisi. Architecture of the Old City and Residential Buildings of the First Half of the 19th Century.” The research was initially published in the Materials and Research on the Secular Architecture of Medieval Georgia series in 1958. The new edition will be enriched with contemporary essays and new visual material.
