The Senate building on Islam Karimov Street (formerly Uzbekistan Street) was constructed in the early 1970s for the Regional and City Committees of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan.
Architects: Ye.
Vidyakin and A. Fainleib; engineer: E. Lenneshmidt.
Originally the building
had a brutalist minimalist appearance: only glass and concrete. The windows
were slightly recessed into niches, and the only decorative elements were black
panels beneath them. There were two separate entrances with minimal decoration
— one each for the regional and city committees. Behind the main block is a
conference-hall wing decorated with a sun-shading concrete lattice (panjara).
In the years of
independence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moved in, and the building was
reconstructed: the façade was clad in black glass with thin white vertical
seams, and both entrances received large canopies.
In December 2021 the
Senate took up residence here. For this purpose the building was completely
remodelled once again — it became pompous, and almost nothing remained of the
original appearance.
