Zuev Workers' Club, Constructivist community center in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The Zuev Workers' Club is a community center in Moscow's Tverskoy District built in the constructivist style. Its defining feature is a cylindrical glass staircase that passes through rectangular levels, creating geometric forms and allowing light to flow through the interior.
Architect Ilya Golosov designed this building in 1926 to meet the post-revolutionary demand for worker recreation and education facilities. It was built when such spaces were considered essential to Soviet society's social goals.
The building was designed as a meeting place for workers and continues to function as a space for theater and community events. Visitors experience how the rooms serve performances and gatherings today.
The building sits at 18 Lesnaya Street and is accessible by foot since it is centrally located in the city. Visitors should expect steep stairs inside and note that access may be limited during theater performances.
The building's glass corners were unusual for constructivist architecture of that period and represented experimental design thinking. This approach allowed daylight to penetrate the interior spaces in a way that was uncommon for worker club designs at the time.
