Stilʹ i ėpokha : problemy sovremennoĭ arkhitektury / M. I︠A︡. Ginzburg.

Ginzburg, M. I︠A︡. (Moiseĭ I︠A︡kovlevich), 1892-1946 · 1924 · Moskva : Gos. Izd-vo · 38 pictures

Stilʹ i ėpokha, published in Moscow in 1924 by the State Publishing House, is an architectural theory book by Moisei Ginzburg, a Constructivist architect, written for architects and students of architecture. The four pictures show modernist buildings in black-and-white halftone and line: a stepped tower with a rounded arched base, a flat-roofed block of stacked horizontal bands and window grids, a cylindrical structure on pilotis, and a photograph of a rotated building with a lattice tower. A designer might draw on their stark geometry, cantilevered horizontals and hard, bare massing.
