The Tashkent Automobile and Road Institute was established in 1972 based on the Automobile and Road Faculty of the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute. In 2016, it was transformed into the Tashkent Institute of Design, Construction, and Operation of Automobile Roads.

In 2020, through the merger of the Tashkent Institute of Railway Transport Engineers, the Tashkent Institute of Design, Construction, and Operation of Automobile Roads, and the Faculty of Aerospace Technologies of Tashkent State Technical University, the Tashkent State Transport University was created.

Currently, the former TADI building houses the University of Oriental Studies.

The original building, in whose creation architects G. Alexandrovich and L. Kryukov, as well as engineers S. Berkovich, Yu. Kalinin, and A. Kan participated, was a monument of modernism despite its symmetrical composition. The heavy, eight-faceted structure seemed to “float” above the lower floors; behind it were massive, symmetrically arranged academic buildings. The monotony of the central volume was softened by two symmetrical staircases. The building complex balanced the large blue cube of the State Museum of Arts.

After the building was transferred to the University of Oriental Studies, it was reconstructed in the then-popular “Karimov style”: the brutal concrete octagon was replaced with an ordinary cylinder covered in blue glass. The monument of modernism was, in essence, lost.
