A foundational document of Stalin-era Soviet architectural pedagogy and a remarkable monument of early Soviet engagement with Western architectural modernism. Compiled by three of the most prominent figures of mid-twentieth-century Russian art and architectural scholarship — Mikhail Vladimirovich Alpatov (1902–1986), the great historian of medieval and Russian art; David Efimovich Arkin (1899–1957), the influential critic of architecture and design and a pioneer of Soviet architectural historiography; and Nikolai Ivanovich Brunov (1898–1971), founder of Soviet Byzantine and Old Russian architectural studies — and edited by Ivan Lyudvigovich Matsa (1893–1974), the leading Soviet theorist of Marxist art history, the volume gathered in a single 590-page chrestomathy excerpts from the most authoritative Russian and Western writings on the history of world architecture, from the ancient East through Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, the Renaissance, the Baroque, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the architectural projects of the Great French Revolution and the Empire style, to «the architecture of the most modern era» — including, strikingly, substantial Russian translations of Sigfried Giedion's writings on new French architecture, G. A. Platz on German Modernism, Lewis Mumford on the newest architecture of North America and Ludwig Hilberseimer on reinforced concrete and architectural form. Issued in 1935 by the newly established Publishing House of the All-Union Academy of Architecture in just 5,200 copies and intended as the textbook companion to the Academy's pedagogical programme, it stands among the last Soviet publications openly to make the work of Western modernist theorists — already politically suspect — available to Russian-language readers: only a year later, the campaign against «formalism» inaugurated in 1936 would render such anthologies impossible.
