DK Gaza, Cultural heritage site in Kirovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
DK Gaza is a constructivist building in the Kirovsky District designed to house cultural and community activities. It features characteristic elements of this style including clean geometric lines, large windows, and functional interior spaces arranged to accommodate exhibitions, performances, and gatherings.
This structure was completed in 1930 as part of the Soviet Union's effort to build cultural spaces for workers and the public. It gained official recognition as a regional cultural heritage site in 1991 following the changes that swept through Russia at that time.
The name Gaza comes from a factory that once operated in this area and shaped the identity of the neighborhood. Today people use the building for exhibitions and events that reflect the creative life of the community.
The building is located at Stachek Avenue 72 and is easily reached by public transport. Clear signage marks the entrances and the interior layout allows visitors to move freely through the exhibition spaces and gather areas.
The building was originally designed as a multifunctional complex bringing together classrooms, performance halls, and community spaces all under one roof. This integrated approach was typical of Soviet cultural facilities and created a gathering place where different groups could encounter one another.
