Buzovnaneft (Azerbaijani: Buzovnaneftin binası) is residential building located at the intersection of Samad Vurgun and Nizami streets in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. The building is located in front of the Nasimi square. The construction process was completed in 1945 by architects Sadig Dadashov and Mikayil Huseynov.[1]

History[]

The construction of the Buzovneft was completed in 1945 shortly before Sadig Dadashov's death. The building was built only for two years. Shortly afterwards a square was built in front of the building. There were fountains in the center of this square. In 1980, these fountains were demolished, and the statue of Imadeddin Nasimi was erected in the area.[2] On both sides of the park it was planned to accommodate houses with similar architectural designs.[3][4]

On November 4, 1955, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution "On elimination of design and construction limits". In his order, Mikayil Huseynov's architectural buildings in Baku have "extremely unnecessary structures". One of the critically acclaimed buildings was the building of Buzovneft. According to their opinion, there were many "unnecessary, complicated arcades and locks" in the building.[5] Mikayil Huseynov continued his activities without ignoring these criticisms.[6]

Architecture[]

The building is a U-shaped and five-story. Nasimi Square is located in front of the house. There are two towers over the house that are symmetrical to each other. These towers are like crowns and are belvederes.[1] According to architect Rana Afandizadeh, the facades of the apartment have been made of plastic materials, and as the architect Alexander Ryabushin said, the materials used in the facade of the apartment were very expensive and of good quality. There are many windows and balconies on the south facing part of the building.[4] Ryabushin acknowledged that designers were inspired by the Moroccan architecture in the design of the windows in the building.[1]

The apartment has a ventilation system.[4] The building has a total of eighty-six apartments.[7][8]
