The
elongated nine-story building visually “holds” the intersection of ChilanZar
Street with the Small Ring Road (formerly Farhod Street). The rectangular
volume of the main building is combined with a round conference hall, connected
by a gallery. The thoracic surgery building was constructed in 1975. Architects
— O. Gaazenkopf and M. Kondakova; engineers — A. Tuniyants, A. Asanov, and A.
Krakov.
Architecture historian B.
Chukhovich notes that the design of the medical facility began back in 1965,
before the earthquake, and the project changed its outlines multiple times.
During the years of independence, the end facade of the building was clad in
aluсobond, which hardly
altered its overall appearance.
In 2024, by a resolution of
the Cabinet of Ministers, the Research Institute of Thoracic Surgery, along
with nine other objects from the modernist era, was included in the National
List of Real Estate Objects of Tangible Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan.
