Zuev Workers Club, 18 Lesnaia Street (Moscow, Russia): Exterior

Date Depicted:

1926
1900 AD - 1949 AD

Notes:

One of the most celebrated of the Soviet modernist buildings, the Zuev Club is still in use as a theater and conference center. The dramatic concept of its design, with a bold cylinder driven through the rectangular form of the corner, has successfully resisted any attempt at modification. The loss of balconies has reduced the articulation and dynamic of the lateral facade.
