Narkomfin (not) Vanishing?



The BBC goes to the Narkomfin Building, Moisei Ginzburg's ruined Constructivist Communal House. It's nice to know this is now worthy of getting on national news (a welcome lack of Cold War guff here too), but sadly it doesn't tell us anything new: whether it'll get restored, who by, and what for. Ginzburg's grandson is interviewed, and he's been talking for years about restoring it as a hotel - here it's apparently for 'services', whatever that might be. What are the chances of it being restored as a Commual House, I wonder...(thanks to Kiri for the link)
