#1101. Monumental Facade with Geometric Ornament

The image shows a fragment of a building facade executed in a strict monumental style. Particular attention is drawn to the distinctive decorative element – a geometric ornament in the form of interwoven lines creating a swastika-like pattern carved into the stone cladding. This motif is repeated vertically on the facade, forming a rhythmic design.

The facade is clad in light gray stone with a textured surface, giving the building a sense of solidity and formality. The architectural composition also includes a window opening with two sections, framed in a minimalist manner. The contrast between the dark glass of the window and the light stone cladding creates a graphic expressiveness.

This architectural solution is characteristic of official buildings from the mid-20th century, when geometric ornaments were used to lend monumentality and symbolic significance to public structures. The laconic forms, massive stone cladding, and repeating geometric pattern form an image of power and stability.
