Popularly known as Casa Scanteii (“House of the Spark”) after the name of the official gazette of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party, Scanteia, it was made for the purpose of bringing together under one roof all of Bucharest’s official press and publishing houses. Designed by Horia Maicu, the architecture is in the soviet style and is based upon the “Lomonosov” Moscow State University. Construction started in 1952 and was completed in 1956.
