Architecture
editThe building's exterior conforms to the Constructivist style, while the interior is decorated in the Art Deco style. The formal façade is combined with large glazing allowing plenty of natural light to enter. The outline of the building is reminiscent of an aeroplane wing, which emphasises its belonging to an aircraft factory.[3]
Two wings of the cultural centre are connected by crosswalks on the first and second floors.[3]
