POSTCARD FROM UKRAINE Dear ArchitectureWeek, Heading eastward on my round-the-world bicycle tour, I passed through villages in southwest Ukraine.

The duke wanted his capital to be a modern, successful city of his Late Baroque period, that would show that the powerful House of Savoy stood at the forefront of world architecture.
