To the memory of Aleksandra Pavlova

The book tells of the life and work of the Soviet avant-garde architect, Leonid Pavlov. The narrative opens with a biographical article and then presents twenty of Pavlov’s most outstanding architectural projects, each of which features a brief description and illustrations. For the first time Pavlov’s theoretical works have been prepared for publication, in which he discusses the theory and philosophy of architecture, writes about his buildings, and recalls fellow architects. The book also includes reference material: the articles "Six Paintings" and "Path of the Master", written by the architect's widow, Liya Pavlova, and an illustrated catalogue of all of Leonid Pavlov’s architectural projects.
