Faculty of Economics, Vasyl Karazin Kharkiv National University
Architect: Serhiy Tymoshenko, Pavlo Krupka
Description: The building was originally designed and constructed for the First Higher Primary School. Architect Serhii Tymoshenko incorporated distinctive features of Ukrainian Architectural Modern into the project, including characteristic hexagonal windows. Construction was interrupted by the First World War. After Kharkiv became the capital of Soviet Ukraine, the unfinished structure was adapted for government use. Architect Pavlo Krupka revised the design, introducing elements of Constructivism. As a result, the building was completed and opened to house the People’s Commissariat of Labour of the Ukrainian SSR. The building suffered damage from shelling and fire, but its restoration is planned.
