The Tashkent Automobile and Road Institute was established in 1972 based on the Automobile and Road Faculty of the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute. In 2016, it was transformed into the Tashkent Institute of Design, Construction, and Operation of Automobile Roads.
In 2020, through the merger
of the Tashkent Institute of Railway Transport Engineers, the Tashkent
Institute of Design, Construction, and Operation of Automobile Roads, and the
Faculty of Aerospace Technologies of Tashkent State Technical University, the
Tashkent State Transport University was created.
Currently, the former TADI
building houses the University of Oriental Studies.
The original building, in
whose creation architects G. Alexandrovich and L. Kryukov, as well as engineers
S. Berkovich, Yu. Kalinin, and A. Kan participated, was a monument of modernism
despite its symmetrical composition. The heavy, eight-faceted structure seemed
to “float” above the lower floors; behind it were massive, symmetrically
arranged academic buildings. The monotony of the central volume was softened by
two symmetrical staircases. The building complex balanced the large blue cube
of the State Museum of Arts.
After the building was
transferred to the University of Oriental Studies, it was reconstructed in the
then-popular “Karimov style”: the brutal concrete octagon was replaced with an
ordinary cylinder covered in blue glass. The monument of modernism was, in
essence, lost.
