DRUZHBA SANATORIUM - A HUGE STOOL THAT RESTS ON THREE LEGS.

Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia decided to jointly build a sanatorium in Crimea for the workers of the two countries. The Czechs wanted their facility to be located in places with less space. Thus the architect Igor Vasilevsky and the engineer Nodar Kancheli created a structure capable of resting on the ground as little as possible. what is now known as the Druzhba Sanatorium.

The building is counted among that group of structures defined as "brutalist". The architectural current of Brutalism had spread rapidly in Britain in the early 1950s.
