[This] is the first translation of the late veteran Soviet scholar Khan-Magomedov's study of the designer of the notorious 'flying city, ' a seriously argued 1928 proposal for an airborne form of settlement as a solution to the housing crisis bequeathed by the bourgeois city. It gives weight both to this justly famous scheme and to Krutikov's later career designing elegant, but comparatively earthbound stations for the Moscow Metro. --Architectural Review Khan-Magomedov presents an enlightening analysis of the work by Krutikov. . . . [This] book finally brings to public attention the achievements of this extraordinary architect. --Russian Review [Khan-Magomedov has] uncovered a treasure trove: the original Flying City drawings, photographs of students' work, unpublished manuscripts, and more. With these documents, the details of Krutikov's vision finally come to light. --Air & Space Magazine
