Zuev Workers' Club

Zuev Workers' Club

The Zuyev Workers' Club ( _ru. Дом культуры имени С.М.Зуева) in Moscow is a prominent work of constructivist architecture. It was designed by Ilya Golosov in 1926 and finished in 1928. The building was designed to house various facilities for Moscow workers, and utilises an innovative glazing treatment at its corner which has proved very photogenic and so the building has been seen as an iconic work of Soviet avant-garde architecture.

Golosov was an enthusiast for expressive, dynamic form rather than the logics of Constructivist design methods. The building facade is comprised of cylindrical glazed staircases interecting with stacked rectangular floor planes to create a dramatic composition. A sequence of club rooms and open foyers lead to an 850-seat auditorium.

Today some of the fenestration has been bricked up, lessening the original perforated cubic mass into a more solid box.
