Imagine having to move furniture to the the 20th floor.
Which Russian city is this?
I would of thought it would be the western side of Russia but I don’t know much about any developments in the east
Doesn’t seem as a nice place to live in. So dark and sharp edged
It’s ugly.
Won’t mind some Art Deco/Art Nouveau making a return.
The most important question is: what about the parking lots there?
Dystopian as fuck
Any earthquakes around there? That’s gonna be fun…
Edit: was supposed to be a joke, geeze… I’ll show myself out now…
I bet former bread factory looked nicer!😁
what are you doing when the elevator is not working?
The whole thing – the style of the high rises, the building and signage in the foreground, – is this some sort of Soviet nostalgia?
Constructionist architecture implies some sort of approximation of the underlying kinetic form by stacking up the simplest convex geometric forms, such as rectangular cuboids, cylinders, trapezoidal prisms and less commonly, hemispheres.
if the underlying form is visibly kinetic – it’s Constructivist architecture.
if the underlying form is visibly static – it’s probably Brutalist architecture.
Regular urban high-rises, like the ones in the picture, usually utilize the Functionalist approach in architecture. See Le Corbusier, the Bauhaus school etc.

We could do with ten or twenty of those in Dublin. The design may be dystopian, but no worse than the housing crisis.
I’ve read about the plan to replace all those old soviet style buildings in Moscow with the new high rises. In essence as I’ve understood it people will get new apartments and the developer will make money by selling apartments in the floors that are left. Does anyone know anything about that ? Or maybe I’ve misunderstood the article. My Russian is really bad.
Damn these look cool, also very imposing
It makes me think of the Burton Batman movies. I like it.
I like it. If the apartments are nice and cozy I’d take it.
I find these type of buildings fascinating. Important to know where the sun wanders before you move in though.
These buildings are so ugly
Damn those PS2 are huge
looks pretty sick, what are they like inside?
They look like Playstations.
Three towers of Mordor?
Wow! Very cool!
I think the buildings look cool.
Might be going off topic but the Westerners in the thread who call these “ugly and dystopian” while complaining about the housing crisis confuse me. I’m sorry but THIS is how you solve the housing crisis! Not by building boring two-storey houses with gardens that only a select few petit bourgeois can afford but by building high rise buildings that can house hundreds!
What’s the style of this arhitecture style called?
I used to have a nice view on the Moscow’s city skyline but then those building appeared out of nowhere
I hate the new type of construction. Built in a way to make as most money for the developers as possible, looks ugly (just because it’s modern doesn’t make it much better than Soviet blocs), no greenery, all this…obsession with cars, spitting on public transport. And people get into debt and all the mortgage stuff.
I wish we had more of these going up, I live in South East England and since the late 90’s the average house price to average income ratio has gone from 4x to 10x, and 25-34 homeownership has gone from 2/3 to sub 1/3. I don’t care how it looks at this point, just fucking build, build fast and build high occupancy.
I am probably in the minority but i like them.
I quite like brutalist architecture, tbh. Think these count
These houses are visible from my window. But I have no idea how to live in them!
An interesting fact: is that the circular building is a former Bread factory. For a long time it was abandoned until it was turned into a public urban space, with restaurants, showrooms and shops.
This place has become very popular with young people.
Not bad at all giving the pathetic state of current architectural practice and theory.
I kind of like them actually, they’re not as blocky and ugly as the 60’s equivalents.
We could use a few of these in the suburbs of Stockholm for sure.
