Centrosoyus building Change this
Description Change this
This building is the only building constructed and realised by Le Corbusier in Moscow.
Due to lack of materials and political quarrels, the construction of this building was delayed substantially. There were several modifications in the realised building in comparison to the initial plan. For example, the entrance and the ground floor was supposed to open up to the exterior, in connection with a new layout of the street.
Today the building houses the Goskomstat (Committee for Statistics)
