Izvestia Building, containing the offices for several newspapers and designed to hold the printing presses as well. Built in 1927 by Grigory Barkhin (1880-1969), this gray rectangle of reinforced concrete with large amounts of glass is broken only by the off center shaft of the stairwell, the balconies on the far left and the four circular windows of the top floor editorial offices. This building is an excellent example of Constructivist architecture, an artistic style evident in Russia during the late 1920s and 1930s that was based on orderly and uncomplicated geometric forms.
