A WWII-period publication with working architectural plans for dormitory constructions for two apartment residential buildings, one intended for singles and one for families. The buildings are designed with stove heating and external toilets, still common in the Soviet Union in this period. The issue also provides drawings for adopting a dormitory for singles, for use in children's institutions. The short introduction also explains that the dormitories are designed without side windows, so as to allow for creating blocks of two to three in a row. The editor of the volume, Arkadii Mordvinov (1896-1964), was a Constructivist architect responsible for the construction of the Kharkiv Post Office in 1928-1930. In 1929 he became one of the founding members of VOPRA (The All-Union Society of Proletarian Architects), an organization that would reject Constructivism in favor of "class-conscious" architecture.
