Narkomtiazhprom, Constructivist building project near Red Square in Moscow, Russia.
The Narkomtiazhprom design featured three connected towers with varying geometric shapes, reaching heights of up to 140 meters above Moscow's skyline.
In 1934, the Soviet government organized an architectural competition for this administrative building, receiving 120 proposals from prominent Russian architects.
The building design represented Soviet industrial power through its massive scale and innovative use of glass, steel, and modern construction techniques.
The structure incorporated a stepped base that would function as viewing platforms for parades, while upper floors contained administrative offices.
The three proposed towers featured distinct geometric forms: a quadrangle, a stylized cylinder, and a hexagon, interconnected by elevated walkways.
