Recently discovered only in 2007, EL LISSITZKY’S only architectural work that made it from paper into a realized form, the OGONYOK PRINTING PLANT in central Moscow,
is in a precarious situation.
^all locked up and forgotten
^underwent suspicious fires
^surrounded by car garages, and now threatened with the excavation of an underground parking lot
^Ogonek is neighbors with the Zhurgaz Residential Cooperative Building (1934),
which is another landmark of avant-garde architecture [right side],
and on the left a new development project is on the rise
^from afar, it looks like just another abandoned, dilapidated building
^behind the Zhurgaz building, a luxury apartment looms high above
^construction of the luxury apartment building threatens both avant-garde landmarks
