Pravda building, Constructivist office building in Begovoy District, Moscow, Russia
Description
The Pravda building is an office structure with exposed concrete, large glass panels, and asymmetrically arranged facades showing geometric forms. The interior spaces were originally designed for newspaper editorial work and printing operations, functioning as an integrated work center.
History
The structure was built in the early 1930s and served as the headquarters of the Soviet newspaper Pravda, one of the most important media outlets of that era. Its construction demonstrated new building techniques that inspired Soviet architects drawing from Western ideas.
Culture
The building shows how Soviet designers created workplaces that combined efficiency with modern appearance. Visitors can still see today how the spaces and materials reflect the working culture ideals of that time.
Practical
The building is an active office structure and not always accessible for regular visits, so it is worth checking in advance about visiting possibilities. The best view of the facade and its features can be seen from outside along the surrounding streets.
Did you know?
The building was designed by Panteleimon Golosov, an architect who combined Soviet and Western design trends and thereby influenced other construction projects. His approach showed how architects of that time experimented with new materials.
