About This Item
Issues quarto, generally 30.5x23 cm. Stroitel'stvo Moskvy is a significant document of soviet architecture and design for the era. Issues through the mid-1930s employed bold typographic experiments and page design. It also became a forum for urban planning, mass housing and monumental construction, in theory and practice, between leading architects, engineers and thinkers (e.g., Moisei Ginzburg, Anatoly Lunacharsky). During the heyday of Russian Constructivism it employed important artists and designers such as Gustav Klutsis, Il'ia Golosov, the Stenberg brothers, etc., for cover design. Eventually Soviet orthodoxy and Neoclassicism prevailed and constructivist graphics and design disappeared. Highlights noted for each number, with architects noted in parentheses.
1931-8 August. 24pp. Strong photocollage cover by architects Lavrov & Popov. First Projects (with models) of the competition for the Palace of the Soviets (Iofan, Ladovskii, Kutsaev, Liudvig et al).
