On the basis of their winning competition project, the three architects prepared a plan for a huge complex consisting of a ‘technology building’, cultural centre and high-rise office block, realised piecemeal up until 1981. Its architectural form gradually changed from one of slender free-standing objects to a much denser composition, visible on the piling-based facade of the main object. Most of the space is occupied by a cinema and two multipurpose halls, which are now used for important public ceremonies of the city government (the congress hall with 1280 seats was originally intended for annual sessions of the Communist Party).
