This eye-catching view of the Zuev's workers club was taken in the 1930s, soon after his inauguration.
Architect Golosov embraced expressionism and dynamism in his works and in this building he was so successful that it became almost immediately an icon of Soviet Constructivist architecture.
The largest market complex in Europe with more than
16,000 square meters is located in Riga, Latvia. Construction began in 1924 and ended in 1930. Since 1998 it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Te mando una postal de la Plaza Tamayo en La Paz. El edificio alto es conocido como Monoblock y pertenece a la universidad. Se inauguró en 1947 y fue el primer "rascacielos" de la ciudad con sus 13 plantas. Es obra del famoso arquitecto boliviano Emilio Villanueva y aunque obra moderna tiene elementos estilísticos propios del art deco y del estilo local Tiwanaku.

Visiting beautiful Helsingborg in southern Sweden. This
is a view of a functionalist apartment building that although it seems to be new was built in 1936.
"El conjunto encuadrado en los jardines interpretará el
espiritu chileno, sin recurrir para ello a motivos coloniales, sino a agrupaciones de volúmenes y trozos de escultura y pintura capaces de sugerir el ambiente de un pueblo y de hacernos adivinar su cultura" (Juan Martínez Gutiérrez)
Today I arrived to Malmi airport in Helsinki, the oldest airport in Finland still in use. This wonderful building was opened in 1938 and its plan although in a undeniable functionalist style resembles also to a gigantic machine rotor.
