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."-- "Architectural Record"
