Agriculture complex administration - Kazan, Russia

Main construction has already finished, waiting spring to make a park near this building. Building is used for agriculture organizations, strange decision but it's a fact.

I like this structure quite a bit. Its classical features are not exaggerated to the extreme or ground down into nothingness like so many other modern classically inspired structures. There are a few things I would change however.

1. The tree needs to go. Either that or something more classical in its inspiration will be needed.
2. Reduce the size of the glass panes. Less glass and more frame would be the way I would go. Mirrored glass is something I do dislike.
3. The exits at the rear could be improved. Simple steel doors with no ornamentation break up the design.
4. Not so sure about the green lighting.

I agree with you about the windows panes, but that sculptured entrance is incredible. It's good to see neoclassical architecture done with a bit of daring. Very attractive building.

I love the giant sculpted tree in the entrance. Especially with the lighting at night.

This is officially my all-time favorite neo-classic building on earth. It is simply GORGEOUS and I LOVE the tree! It is such an elegant yet modern touch. The lighting is amazing too. GO RUSSIA!

It's too bad about those cheap looking windows though, they're like something off an 80s office building.

Odd that its focal point is a sculpture of a tree. I generally associate agriculture with clearcutting.
