A government complex, constructed in 1933 by Le Corbusier and Nikolai Kolli. Centrosoyuz refers to a Soviet bureaucracy, the Central Union of Consumer Cooperatives. The building included office space for 3,500 personnel, as well as a restaurant, lecture halls, a theater, and other facilities. Now it is the home of Goskomstat, the Russian State Committee for Statistics. - The project applied on larger scale Le Corbusier’s architectural principles: pilotis, curtain-wall façade, free floor plan, ribbon windows and flat roof. The glass façade was intended to include an innovative heating and ventilation system. A fine piece of Constructivist architecture.
