In 1934, the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers was established based on two faculties of Turkestan University and was housed in a specially constructed building on Niyazbek Street. The three-story building with constructivist elements is recognizable by its rounded corner.
In front of this rounded corner, there used to be
a small park: at one time, it featured a statue of Stalin; in the 1980s, a bust
of war hero Viktor Malyasov, who studied at this institute. In the 2000s, a
small beverage shop was located there.
For a long time, the building remained
unplastered, made of dark, time-sooted brick. During the years of independence,
it was plastered and given a modern porch, which led to the loss of its
original appearance.
In the 1960s, new educational blocks were added
along Niyazbek Street, and in the 1970s, along Kary Niyazov Street. The
historic building remained between them as a reminder of the institute’s early
years and the romantic era of constructivism.
