ABSTRACT
The article is the result of a comprehensive study of the architecture of the first half of the twentieth century, especially the avant-garde trends of Leningrad architecture. The article is based on the results of a detailed author’s study of the work of Leningrad architects of the avant-garde era. In the 1920s and 1930s, more than a thousand civil construction projects were built in Leningrad (modern Saint Petersburg), including those in the “constructivism” style. In the last three decades, Soviet architecture has been carefully studied, and typical features of avant-garde trends have been identified. The analysis of the creativity of constructivist architects revealed the uniqueness of the architectural and urban planning techniques of the authors. This article uses the comparative analysis method to identify the features of the work of the outstanding Leningrad architects A. I. Gegello and E. A. Levinson.
