Leningrad 1935. 30x21. 102 pp. + 101 plates with colour renderings. 101 small-size and 12 full-page black and white designs in the text. Title leaves in Russian, German, French, and English. Publisher's blind-lettered cloth, spine slightly faded and darkened, lacks the Russian title leaf; contents in clean very fine condition.

The last and most spectacular of the Chernikhov books published during his own lifetime, illustrating his utopian visions of modern architecture with greatest brilliance. As a Constructivist he was possessed by the powers of abstraction and geometry, but his singular, expressive designs go far beyond mere constructivism in visionary ingenuity. For Chernikhov, fantasy drawing offered the architect an effective means of liberating himself from convention, to imagine a future reflecting the avant-garde culture of the new Soviet Union. But his unusual ideas were distrusted by the Soviet regime, and the Architectural Fantasies was one of the last avant-garde art book to be published in Russia during the Stalinist era. Architectural fantasy stimulates the architect's activity, it arouses creative thought not only for the artist but it also educates and arouses all those who come in contact with him; it produces new directions, new quests, and opens new horizons. Architectural fantasy in all cases propels the culture of architectural problems, and with the freshness of new thoughts, with the transition to new phases of architectural creativity, it serves as the best aid in real design work. We also use the help of architectural fantasy in finding a form for presenting architectural representations, in finding images of architecture, in finding the basics with whose help architectural style of our epoch is crystallized. (translated from Chernikhov's text). Senkevitch 205.
