One of the most celebrated buildings of Soviet Modernism, the Narkomfin, has recently received significant attention from scholars, architects, activists and the media, partly in an effort to save the building from imminent ruin and partly to devise a comprehensive restoration programme. Dwelling, first published in Russian in 1934, summarises the research of its author – the architect and leading theoretician of Soviet Constructivism, Moisei Ginzburg (1892-1946) – on developing architecture for modern, technological and socialist society based on principles of standardisation and efficiency.
