Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The OSA Group (Union of Contemporary Architects) was an architectural association in the Soviet Union, which was active from 1925 to 1930 and considered the first group of constructivist architects. It published the journal SA (Sovremmennaia Arkhitektura or ''Contemporary Architecture''). Like the ASNOVA group, OSA grew out of the avant-garde wing of the VKhUTEMAS school in Moscow. The group''s founders were Moisei Ginzburg, well-known for his book Style and Epoch (a Soviet response to Le Corbusier''s Vers une Architecture) and the painter, designer and architect Alexander Vesnin. Unlike the earlier association the OSA group claimed for itself the name Constructivist, in that it was, in its utilitarianism and concentration on function rather than form, an architectural equivalent to the experiments of ''artistic'' Constructivism. OSA was in many ways the architectural wing of the socialist Modernists of LEF, and likewise set up its own journal in 1926.
