Konstruktsiya arkhitekturnykh i mashinnykhi form [Construction of Architectural and Machine Forms]. Leningrad: Leningradskogo Obshestva Arkhitektorov, 1931. 4to. 232 pp. Illustrated with black and white drawings. Original two-color decorated printed boards. Hinges partially split; front endpapers darkened; some internal water damage. FIRST EDITION of a masterwork in Soviet architectural studies. Not only the bold black-and-white architectural drawings but also the entire design of the book adheres to the Constructivist ideal. For his highly innovative and influential futuristic architectural drawings, Chernikov was dubbed the Soviet Piranesi. The comparison was apt as each artist reflected on his own oppressive society. Chernikov embraced Futurist, Suprematist and Constructivist principles in his designs. Despite his international reputation for his albums of modernist architecture, few of his buildings were ever realized as he was constantly under suspicion by the Soviet authorities.
