Style of the Week : Constructivism (2/4)

Yakov Chernikov tumblr ►facebook

Yakov Chernikov studied at the college of art in Odessa and then he moved in 1914 to Petrograd (St. Petersburg). There he joined the Architecture faculty of the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1916, where he later studied under Leon Benois. Greatly interested in futurist movements, including constructivism, and the suprematism of Malevich (with whom he was acquainted), he set out his ideas in a series of books in the late 1920s and early 1930s, including:

  • The Art of Graphic Representation (1927)
  • Fundamentals of Contemporary Architecture (1930)
  • The Construction of Architectural and Machine Forms (1931)
  • 101 Architectural Fantasies (1933)

Leave it to German engineering…
Check out the GreenFiber company that makes home insulation out of recycled paper that virtually cannot catch on fire! It blew our minds!

It’s not too uncommon to see paper recycled into things like jewelry, wallpaper or even furniture. But it’s a bit surprising to see a seemingly flimsy material being used exclusively in a building that actually withstood hard rain and high winds, like this 2,045 square foot temporary workspace in Essen, Germany that’s made with 550 bales of recycled paper.
