five years' work on the problem of habitation
Ginzburg, M. I︠A︡. (Moiseĭ I︠A︡kovlevich)
Moisei Ginzburg (1892-1946) was the founder of the 'Organization of Contemporary Architects' (OSA) group, and lead architect behind the first Constructivist building to be built, the Narkomfin building in Moscow (completed in 1932), which is currently being restored by the architect's grandson, Alexei Ginzburg. As part of this unique project, Ginzburg Design Limited has initiated the publication in English of Moisei Ginzburg's four seminal works on architecture and the built environment. The first, 'Rhythm in Architecture' (1923), was quickly followed by 'Style and Epoch' (1924), the publication that came to be seen as the Constructivists' manifesto. 'Dwelling' (1934) is published here in English for the first time, in a facsimile of the original Russian edition. It was written just two years after the completion of the Narkomfin building and provides a fascinating insight into the architect's ideas about creating new housing for the socialist city, communal living and the use of new materials and technologies.
