Abstract

The work is dedicated to the idea and the initial stages of the implementation process of the Ministry of Roads of Georgia Engineering Building (currently the headquarters of the Bank of Georgia), designed by an outstanding figure of Georgian architecture, architect Giorgi (Gogi) Chakhava. In specialized literature, the focus is predominantly on the epochal significance and characteristics of this building created in the Soviet space. However, our research has a different objective. The purpose of the presented research is to study and determine the origins of the building of the Ministry of Roads of Georgia Engineering Building, based on new archival sources and the building’s conceptual foundations. The presented work reflects the results of this research. It aims to integrate this information and its significance into the scientific domain.
