Here’s another batch of early Soviet avant-garde architectural journals, from between 1929-1930. The 1929 one is the one I most recently worked on; the others were converted into PDFs back before I had perfected the method of separating out the text from the rest of the page. As a result, these are all in grayscale, though they remain very readable. The image quality is a little lower than on my more recent uploads. But here they are, so enjoy!
Dear Ross,
this posts are a few years old now but I was wondering if you still have the pdf’s of this journals. I am currently writing my masters thesis on soviet shell structures until 1945. Reportedly in one of the 1929 issues is an article about a patent for hyperboloid concrete shells and I am desperately searching for it. Unfortunately the volumes I could find start at year 1930. Could you maybe help out?
Thank you very much in advance!!
I would agree the last comment was “irrelevant.”
The photos of buildings, maps etc. really add to this blog. You are taken to a different world.
Thanks man, I try to choose the best ones to transport the reader to the dreamworld of yesterday.
These are wonderful and inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you!
