| Sumario: | [EN] Among the earliest avant-garde groups of the twentieth century, Constructivists constituted a turning point in the traditions of art and architecture. They brought a revolution in design that required a new formal language and thus new modes of representation. They held that architecture, as an art, should become a mix of abstraction of form and practical engineering. This paper considers the graphic work of Yakov Chernikhov, one of the most brilliant and imaginative figures in Russian Constructivism. The work of this architect, graphic designer, and architectural and drawing theorist during the 1920s was crucial in the search for new architectural forms in the Soviet Union. Chernikhov was gifted with an outstanding talent for composition and felt a great passion for teaching architectural drawing. His preference was to concentrate on the genre of architectural fantasy, to be understood as utopian images deliberately lacking any material realization. His legacy comprises more than fifty theoretical works on architecture, design and representation. It includes more than 17,000 graphic compositions of varying sorts, among which futuristic themes are clearly predominant. |
