Owen Hatherley: Gosprom, Kharkov, Ukraine (Sergei Serafimov, Mark Felger and Samuel Kravets), 1925–28
The most breathtaking of all Constructivist projects, the Gosprom Building (or ‘Palace of Industry’) was built as an attempt to diminish the influence of Kiev as capital of the Ukraine. Constructed apparently by volunteers from the local Komsomol, this is Metropolis actualised. This enormous complex was conceived as a complete circle in four segments one of which was destroyed in World War Two.
