Single volume of a series of yearbooks of the Society of Architects-Artists of Leningrad (St. Petersburg), published in 1927–1935, to showcase designs for numerous architectural competitions in which society members participated, including competitions across the Soviet Union and internationally. This attractive 1930 volume is illustrated primarily with Constructivist projects, many of which were unrealised or simplified during construction because they were considered too avant-garde. The Constructivist projects by architects such as Vladimir Munts, Iosif Vaks, Yevgenii Levinson, Armen Barutchev (also responsible for the cover design), and David Krichevskii are of special interest, among many others. Several designs by Leningrad architects submitted for the international competition of the monument to Christopher Columbus in Santo Domingo are also of note. The publication was a continuation of the pre-Revolutionary publication of Yearbooks of the Imperial Society of Architects-Artists, published in 1906–1917.
