Article about the Dom Narkomfin of Moisei Guinsburg in Moscow. "This dwelling beehive does not contain any of the functions usually attributed to a full housekeeping flat. In contrast to a hotel, bachelor flats, and pensions, such a dwelling beehive should not be considered in itself a complete dwelling entity. The program of “dwelling” includes all the relevant social, study, etc. spaces, and separate children’s rooms are concentrated outside of this dwelling beehive in their own separate buildings. //// Collectivization and centralization of all housekeeping and communal functions; //// Reduction of dwelling to a single cell for each adult person; //// Liberation of the working woman from household chores and the upbringing of children; //// Elevation of the housing standard and culture of the working class; Support of popular education and physical culture, as well as community life; //// Full medical care; Reorganization of the city as a whole; Isolation of an individual’s private life within a single standardized dwelling cell."
