"Melnikov was decades ahead of his time and its technical possibilities. For his projects, he chose shapes that were inconvenient, forms that architects tend to avoid – the triangle, parallelogram, diagonal, cone, pyramid, saw and spiral. He was an experimenter, although none of his workers’ club buildings were embodied as the author envisioned. His architecture was transformable, dynamic and in several projects even kinetic."

– Pavel Kuznetsov, "Melnikov: An Investigation Through Architectural Models"

📖 Now Available: "Melnikov: An Investigation Through Architectural Models"

An illuminating reappraisal of Soviet architect Konstantin Melnikov, the visionary modernist and dissenter in the age of Stalin's Socialist Realism.

This new publication brings together analytical models of Melnikov's built and unbuilt works alongside archival photographs, sketches and critical texts. Together, they trace the arc of an architect nearly written out of history.

📍The book coincides with the exhibition: "Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974): An Avant-Garde Architect" at the Architekturforum Zürich open now.

✨ Forthcoming Release! ✨ Konstantin Melnikov (1890–1974) occupies a singular position in Soviet architecture. His refusal to adopt Stalin’s state-mandated classicism led to professional exile, ending his architectural career by the early 1930s (he turned to painting until the end of his life).

The forthcoming book, "Melnikov: An Investigation Through Architectural Models," co-edited by Marianne Burkhalter, Christian Sumi and Pavel Kuznetsov, offers a critical reappraisal of his work.

Featuring analytical models realized by students at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio, it reconstructs both built and unbuilt projects and situates Melnikov within the broader discourse of twentieth-century modernism.

Early copies will be available at the opening of the exhibition "Konstantin Melnikov (1890-1974). An avant-garde architect" at the Architekturforum Zürich.

Back in print! "Living with Palladio in the Sixteenth Century" is a fascinating study of how daily life unfolded inside the Renaissance architect’s iconic villas.

Far from quiet retreats, these estates functioned as small towns, home to diverse households and complex social hierarchies. In his investigation, Antonio Foscari reveals how Palladio’s architecture shaped daily life for their inhabitants in the 1500s.

Anna Heringer’s new book "Light – The Natural Force that Makes Things Visible (...)" affirms the powerful connection between architecture and activism, and highlights the stories of the communities who have shaped her projects.

A unifying thread throughout the volume is Heringer’s collaboration with the women of Dipdii Textiles. Their hand-embroidered sari blankets are not only present in the building projects, but also embody the spirit of connection, care and empowerment that defines Heringer’s practice.
