The first monograph by prominent Soviet theoretician of architecture, Georgii Borisovskii, with numerous drawings supplied in the text by the author. The volume deals with the possibility of using architectural heritage “in the context of mass industrial construction.” Using many examples from ancient and classical architecture, the work discusses contemporary methods of prefabricated construction. Borisovskii would continue to develop this topic in his later books such as "Science, technology, art" (1969), "The Parthenon and the conveyor" (1971), and "Aesthetics and standardization" (1983).
