Abstract: “Arkkitehtuurin Vallankumous – Revolution in Architecture” examines the Vesnin brothers’ (Leonid, Victor, and Alexander) transformative impact on early 20th-century architecture. The book showcases their innovative designs, blending architecture with visual art, stage design, and costume creation. Through a collection of paintings, drawings, and stage sets, it explores their modernist ideals, emphasizing abstract forms, functionality, and the social revolution of the time. The brothers’ work in architecture and performance art highlights the intersection of cultural, political, and artistic movements, offering a comprehensive study of how these fields converged during a period of profound change.
