🔴 Heritage Alert 🔴
ICOMOS, together with its International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage (ISC20C) is issuing a worldwide Heritage Alert to amplify awareness of the threat to the #stadionulrepublican in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova.
❗ICOMOS is urging stronger legal protections for the site and its individual elements due to their significance as a rare surviving example of socialist realist sports architecture in Eastern Europe. The site’s preservation is critical for national memory and international scholarship.
Help us amplify the call to save Chișinău’s Republican Stadium: buff.ly/FQlCX2V

🤔 What makes architecture "unwanted heritage"?
🏢ROMANIȚA: Soviet-Era Icon in Limbo
🏗️This 80s experimental housing complex in Chisinau was proposed for heritage status since 2016,its fate still hangs in the balance.Should Moldova preserve this slice of #SovietModernism or make way for the new?

Time-warp to 1972 with this Soviet-era masterpiece! 🚀🏛️
The Yu. Gagarin Youth Center in Chisinau, a crumbling giant with a wild past, now stands as a haunting relic of Moldova’s Soviet days. Demolition looms… would you explore before it’s gone?
