Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Written by the noted Soviet art critic and historian of architecture David Arkin (1899-1957), this book came out a few months before the beginning of the era of Stalinist architecture , when the author had to completely abandon his modernist views and principles. In December 1947, David Arkin, secretary of the Union of Soviet Architects, was accused of anti-Soviet propaganda and criticized for having produced the monograph Arkhitektura sovremennogo zapada [i.e. Architecture of the Modern West], in which the author promoted cosmopolitanism and Americanism in Soviet architecture. Printed in 1932, this troubled edition represents a praise to the Western architecture and contains in depth examinations of the work of the preeminent modernist designers and architects of the time including Le Corbusier, Bruno Taut, J. J. P. Oud, Ludwig Karl Hilberseimer, Richard Neutra, Ernst May, Erich Mendelsohn, Moholy-Nagy, and Frank Lloyd Wright, etc. Profusely illustrated throughout with black and white photographic reproductions of designs and built structures, the edition features analysis of the 20th century modernist trends constructivism, functionalism, and new architecture and focuses on various achievements of foreign construction. The book also includes selected excerpts from the treatises of the aforementioned architects. Among the articles featured are Le Corbusier s ĞA New Era in Architectureğ, ĞReorganization of Citiesğ, ĞModern City for 3 Million Inhabitantsğ, ĞAesthetics of a New Cityğ, ĞPlan for the Restructuring of Parisğ; Bruno Taut s ĞWhat is New Architectureğ, ĞProblems of Housing Architectureğ; Oud s ĞThe Future of Architecture and its Possibilitiesğ; Frank Lloyd Wright s ĞThe Third Dimensionğ, and others. Photographs of the constructions presented on the pages of the edition offer a curious insight into the state of Western architecture in the 1930s. Fragil dust jacket (reinforced with paper stripes), Darkening of the title page due to the quality of the paper, which is found in almost all copies of this edition, overwise sound.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo 17 x 17.5 cm., wrappers, 108(1) pp. The collection was compiled in 1930 by a student group examining the architecture of workers clubs at the State Academy of Art. Edited by David Efimovich Arkin (1899 1957), art historian, critic and historian of architecture, fine and industrial arts. Worker Clubs were viewed as an essential place to develop proletarian culture from the outset and over 7000 clubs were built in the first three decades of the USSR. Initially undistinguishable from the upper-class clubs of the pre-revolution, by 1925 they provided some of the most exciting design opportunities for social experiment and were a unique contribution in the history of constructivist architecture, and the boldest experiments were realized. The most original are by Mel nikov and Il ia Golosov. Design challenges and resolutions are discussed and drawings and photos document some of the most successful work. The interior of the present copy is very good, with inner cover worn. The outer cover has with printing on both sides and acts as a foldout folio displaying parts of all ten clubs. Five North American library holdings located This copy with a later replica cover wrapper and very good, clean condition.
