This work represents Moscow´s Round House. After the Second World War, the USSR suffered a significant rural exodus as a result of the new policies of industrialization and collectivization. Farmers left the countryside to settle in the cities, forcing the Soviet authorities to construct massive buildings, in which the priority was to build simple and low-cost constructions; therefore, aesthetics and originality were obliterated. In this context, Bublik was built in 1972 as a reaction to the standardization of these architectures. Nicknamed Bublik (“bagel” in Russian) for its peculiar shape, the real estate operation was not a financial success. Due to its technical specificity compared to standard buildings, it was much more expensive and took longer to build. However, its circular center, which sought to recover the old Soviet communal courtyard, as well as the collectivist spirit of the Dom-Kommuna from the beginning of the Russian Revolution, contributed a symbolic value to the project.
