The Trip: after decades of isolation, Tashkent is on the up

Weekly at Wallpaper*, ‘The Trip’ takes you on a detailed tour of an under-explored town, city or territory, direct from your living room. This week's feature is from our January 2020 issue (W*250), when we dispatched Deyan Sudjic, former director of London's Design Museum, to the Uzbek capital of Tashkent. Here, he captures the wonder of its Soviet modernist gems before they are eclipsed by brash new construction.
