The following pictures are examples of architecture built in the Soviet Constructivist style, a style founded by the Vesnin brothers (Aleksandr, Leonid, and Viktor) along with Moisei Ginzburg between 1923-1925. Â Officially, the Society of Modern Architects (OSA) was the main organ for all Constructivist architecture. Â However, I have also included pieces which clearly exemplify the Constructivist style, even if the architects involved were not technically members of OSA. Â Both blueprints and photographs of the eventual realizations of their plans are shown here:
-
- Il’ia Golosov – Elektrobank Building (1926)
-
- G. Barkhin (1927)
It’s astonishing how many great and progressive works are among Soviet constructivism.
Thanks for the pics, I think I’d probably never know of these if I didn’t see them here.
I posted this on Facebook.
Thank you for the show of solidarity.
