  • The building of the Philharmonic Society appeared in 1912 and was ten years ahead of its time.

The building of the Philharmonic Society appeared in 1912 and was ten years ahead of its time. Alexander Ginzburg designed it in the constructivism style, which was widely used only in the 1920s and 1930s, and for the beginning of the 20th century this style was a bold innovation. The architect in this project abandoned the traditional forms of modernity in favor of the severity, conciseness and monolithic appearance of the building.
