Description: A monograph devoted to the Russian architect Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov, considered one of the leading interpreters of the aesthetic and social ideals of Constructivism, the Soviet avant-garde architectural movement. The volume positions Melnikov’s works within the context of the Moscow of the Twenties and Thirties.It highlights his ideas and unrealised projects and realised contributions to the construction of contemporary Moscow through a selection of models, flanked by the original designs of the buildings, cartographic reconstructions of the city of Moscow and original photographs. The essays explore Melnikov’s biography, his professional education, Stuttgart’s architecture school and the avant-garde (1918-1945), Melnikov and his dialogue with the city, and works from the first half of the 1920s up to 1936. The volume ends with the complete list of Melnikov’s works and a bibliography.
