The Blocul locativ „Romanița,” or Romanita Collective Housing Tower, is a quirky relic of Soviet-era architecture in Chișinău, built in 1978 by architect Oleg Vronski. Once the tallest building in the city, its absurd cylindrical design was meant to save space and offer panoramic views but now feels more like a bold experiment than practical housing. Originally built for communal living, it still serves as a residential building, often for small families and low-income residents, functioning as a form of social housing. Despite its status as a local icon, the tower is in a state of decay, with neglect and maintenance issues chipping away at its once-futuristic appeal. It stands as a crumbling but fascinating reminder of Chișinău’s Soviet past.

Beautiful sunset. Terrible endless seas of buildings.

In São Paulo you cannot even see this sunset you are walking in the street.

These newly built apartments and rows of single family houses in the middle caught my eye. They are located in the outskirts of a small rustic town in an idyllic setting, sticking out like a sore thumb. Absolutely drab and depressing architecture with little to no greenery. The best part? Each apartment is close to like 600k Euros, the houses in the middle are about 1 million. And most of them are still empty because they don’t sell.

I’m not against modern architecture and high rises but jeez, couldn’t these be a little more colorful and inviting? Looks like a prison complex.
