Moscow, 1936. Octavo (29 × 21 cm). Original printed card wrappers; 97, [2] pp. Illustrations, including photographs, plans, maps, and technical drawings. Light soil to wrappers, rust to staples. Still about very good. One volume of the ten-volume set highlighting the work of the Architectural and Design Workshops of Mossovet, fo…rmed in 1933 as part of the plan for the reconstruction of Moscow. Illustrated with plans, elevations, architectural models, and photographs the volume is focused on the work of one of the ten workshops headed by a prominent architect, in this case (N.2) Aleksei Shchusev (1873-1949). One of the masters of Soviet architecture, Shchusev gained notoriety as an architect of Art Nouveau, but would move on to Constructivist architecture in the 1920s, and finally on to the Stalinist Neo-classical style in the 1930s. By 1924 Shchusev was head of the architecture and urban planning department of the Moscow City Council, eventually responsible for implementing the New Moscow City Plan, working with many seminal architects of the early Soviet era. This volume was published at a crucial transitional moment when the Soviet establishment was moving away from Constructivism and toward the Neo-classical Stalinist architecture. Of special interest is the redesign of the Meyerkhold Theater, originally created by two Constructivist architects Mikhail Barkhin and Sergei Vakhtangov, presented in this volume as newly re-designed by Shchusev, who added ornament to the original Constructivist structure. Despite the re-designs, the building was never completed. Shchusev is best remembered today for the modernist structure of Lenin's mausoleum on Red Square. One of 3500 copies. As of December 2024, KVK, OCLC locate eight holdings in North American institutions.
