Sergey Chernyshev: Architect of The New Moscow

Sergey Chernyshev, one of the founders of Soviet urban planning, deservedly occupies a special place among the leading Russian architects of the 20th century. Chernyshev’s large-scale designs attracted widespread attention – from the 1935 Master Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow to his work on the restoration of cities such as Kiev, Leningrad, Warsaw, and Berlin. The volume presents Chernyshev’s extensive creative work using rich visual material from different archives, some of which is being published for the first time.
