Continue. first About the House of Narkomfin, here I will finish the story about the rest of the book - Narcomfin's house. Color solutions color solutions in the house were very different from default and took into account different storeys and purpose of the premises - Other participants in the construction of the House. Nikolai Milutin and Sergey Prokhorov Nikolai Milyutin was the People's Commissar for Finance and the main stakeholders in the construction of the house. Without his help, this experiment would not have happened. Sergey Prokhorov was the chief construction engineer, without whom the house would not have been built in the right time, with the right budget and quality. - Second phase of the House project The house was supposed to have a second turn, but it did not happen. - Pre-war life at Home. before 2 The house lived according to the plan, but during the war many left, and then did not return. After the war, it was settled in another way and many decisions were overplayed. - Sotsgorod by Nikolai Milyutin The authors are talking about what happened in 1930 Milyutin’s book Sotsgorod, in which he put forward his own architectural concept of urban planning in accordance with Marxist ideology. In this book, he appealed to Western practice and called for de-urbanization, that is, decentralization of cities, which contradicted the generally accepted concept of urban development in the USSR. Plus, he dedicated the book to a repressed colleague, so the book was banned a year after publication. - Analogues and "cousins" at Home - here the authors give examples of other houses that used the cells of Stroykom, in which Ginsburg once worked. Similar houses are in Saratov, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don and other cities. Rarely are houses as bright as the House of the People’s Commissariat of Finance, but they definitely have a similar logic and constructivist influence.

• The legacy of the House in post-war architecture - after the war, the ideas of two-storey apartments and socialization of everyday life were not particularly quoted, but some of the houses in the city were not very popular. 70-e 80Years with similar ideas were created.
• Post-war life and restoration of the House - by the 2000s, the house gradually fell into decline and the idea of its reconstruction appeared, but this required the resettlement of tenants and the redemption of apartments, which was slow. But 2016-2020 During the year, the restoration of this iconic place was carried out and now the Narkomfin House is an institutional and research project. Garage Museum of Contemporary Art.
