Railway Computing Center
Railway Computing Center

An unusual cylindrical building for Tashkent, constructed in 1988, visually "holds" the intersection of Yakub Kolos and Amir Temur streets.

The architects of the 12-story tower are S. Paramoshkina, G. Alexandrovich, and E. Momotov; the engineers are A. Kan and Yu. Kalinin.

The top of the building is decorated with crenellated shields and somewhat resembles medieval towers.

The building is faced with yellow tiles and therefore received the popular nickname "kukuruzina" (corn cob).

The building was constructed for the computing center of the Railway Administration, but computing equipment became dozens of times more compact over a couple of decades, so other departments of the Railway Administration are also housed in the building.
