Brutalism 🖇️ We all know that post-Soviet countries have a complex relationship with their Soviet-era architecture. In Moldova, these buildings are often seen as gloomy reminders of a difficult past — yet they remain some of the most striking and unique landmarks in our cities. So, what should we do with this heritage? Together with @redhead_inc , we believe every layer of a country’s history deserves to be acknowledged — as a memory of the people who lived through it. We also think that all these buildings are truly impressive time capsules that should be preserved.
Our new series of postcards is a tribute to Chișinău’s most iconic brutalist buildings: Cosmos Hotel, the Circus, the Fashion Centre, Romanița, and more.
Discover our first postcards from the series and go explore these architectural treasures yourself!
