Souvent citée par les historiens du Mouvement Moderne et comparée à juste titre à celle du Bauhaus allemand, l’histoire des Vhutemas reste malgré tout mal connue. L’enseignement qui y fut dispensé, la personnalité vitalité du patrimoine artistique légué par les Vhutemas, en font un des fleurons de l’histoire de l’art mondial.

Summary:
Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today's leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected.

Il fut dirigé d'abord par Kandinsky puis par Rodtchenko. Cet ouvrage montre que l'Inkhouk fut, de 1920 à 1922, le creuset où s'élabora le Constructivisme, dans le feu des discussions. Cette mise en perspective historique s'accompagne d'une documentation photographique, qui permet de constater à quel point les oeuvres originales des constructivistes des années vingt restent fraîches et neuves.
