That's what I love about photography, it freezes the time and this unique idea, it this case. I suppose the memory of this extravagant project will fade away with those people who participated and witnessed it...

Dear @lightcaptured, as a professional photographer, you could probably understand my thoughts and attitude best 😊
I did not want to touch extensively on the role of photography in our lives, as this is an architectural community, but it turns out to be crucial and extremely important. Not that it was not possible to preserve the memory in the past - people made drawings or paintings for that purpose, but today it is easier with photography. Still, many people don't use it because they don't care about the things around them. And so knowledge and history disappear with the last people who witnessed these places and objects.

Dear @alt3r, I'm actually not sure this is a brutalist construction. It only looked like that because of the phase in which it was left. But the effect was truly astounding 😊

I can only feel sad to see such an interesting building disappear forever. Thanks for documenting it. It's too bad there isn't more information about it. One can only imagine the heartbreak from the architect and whoever commissioned and was never able to finish his dream. Despite it's state of ruin you can clearly see as you mentioned the quality of design and craftmanship. Thanks for sharing!

Dear @parmengo, at the time of the construction of this awesome project, the situation in the country was very specific and pretty difficult to be explained. People who were able to build such buildings then are also difficult to explain. It is likely that no one was sad about this unrealized construction from a sentimental point of view 😁, but only about the monetary loss. Of course, I don't know anything about it either. But for me personally, it was really sad to watch its demolition.

Goodbye, space ship!

Aww, that line made me teary-eyed for a moment dear @soulsdetour. Despite the unforeseen demise of that interestingly alien-looking monument, its peculiar beauty alone is not sufficient to pass as a genuine work of architecture. You see, during my university days in this highly specialized profession, we were trained to create successful projects that embody 3 essential requirements: aesthetics, durability, and functionality. 👍

However, I believe there's one more significant ingredient that's needed to complete the ideal architectural package - the human experience. As I've been strongly advocating for our emotional connections and perceptions of the built environment since the beginning, I'm afraid that architecture schools haven't covered much about this subject yet (at least during my architecture studies). The "sense or spirit of place", also referred to as "Genius Loci" (I've covered this in my previous POST, is definitely crucial for sustainable buildings. 😊

As in the case of that saucer-shaped edifice from the town of Dimitrovgrad, perhaps they've discovered errors (spatial feasibility) or other issues related to the key components I've mentioned above. Thus, it's not a surprise that the developers/owners had to let it go. Unless they wanted to let it stand there forever as a "White Elephant Project" (a financial investment that fails to fulfill its expectations), would that be a wise decision? So, would you agree to its eventual demolition?

As a professional in this field, of course you are absolutely right, dear @storiesoferne 😊 It is clear, that it is not enough for a building to have only a unique design. It must also be functional. Therefore, as sad as I am (and I am always sad when something goes off the face of the earth, whatever it is), this building was almost completely dysfunctional, it could not fulfill its intended purpose, and maybe it was right for it to be demolished. And if I didn't always proceed only from the emotional point of view, I would have to say that this is the way it should be and this is the right decision. In fact, it was demolished because a large shopping center will be built next to it, and this is some natural course of life, which was unnecessarily delayed even for many years, but still. 😌
