 In original wrappers and illustrated dust-wrapper. 13 x 10.5 inches. 130 pp. fully illustrated. Very good condition with restoration on spine and top of covers. Dustjacket somewhat soiled and handled.

Title page, table of contents, introduction, captions and authors’ names in Russian and German. Dust-wrapper designed by Nikolai Kolli. Foreword by Shchusev. Bilingual feature of this edition considered as evidence of international nature of architecture and the bold creative experiments that would be interesting not only in USSR but abroad.

Among those presented in this edition are design projects by architects Vesnin brothers, Shchusev, Ivanitsky, Zholtovsky, Kokorin, Barkhin, Razov, Golosov, Chernyshev, Voinov, Fridman, and others. In the late 1920s, state constructing started to bring some of these projects to life, but many of them were considered too avant-garde. Inquire for price.
