Lissitzky's book is a classic in architectural and planning theory, as well as an important document in social and intellectual history. It contains an appendix of excerpted writings by his contemporaries—M. J. Ginzburg, P. Martell, Bruno Taut, Ernst May, M. Ilyin, Wilm Stein, Martin Wagner, Hannes Meyer, Hans Schmidt, and others—all of whom illuminate the architecture and planning of Europe and Russia during the 1920s. There are over 100 plates and drawings.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a primary source for any full understanding of the origins of modern architecture in the early twentieth century; and this is the first translation available in English. First published in Vienna in 1930, it is a review of the achievement of Lissitzky's post-revolutionary compatriots in Russia, and an outline of his own program for future action.... The book is illustrated with photographs of modern architectural projects and some remarkable but little-known buildings from Russia in the 1920s's."
