Narkomfin Building
The Narkomfin Building, one of the best pieces of Russian Constructivist architecture still surviving, was designed by Moisei Ginzburg with Ignaty Milinis in 1928 and finished in 1932. Its novel architectural ideas had a wider influence, including on Le Corbusier, whose Unité d'Habitation adopted its duplex living units accessed at their midpoints by glazed corridors. The building is in a very bad state of repair: hopefully conservation will save it for posterity and for future students of original architecture
