Docomomo International has recently been notified of a potential heritage at risk – the Telecenter in Tbilisi, one of the prominent examples of late Soviet modernism in the Georgian capital. The building has now been sold with plans to demolish it to construct a multi-story commercial center. Local architects and art historians launched a campaign and organized public lectures to raise awareness among the general public about the importance of preserving the building. Below we are sharing the article on the history and legacy of Telecenter by cultural heritage expert Tatia Gvineria. Image (c) Historical Archive of Tbilisi.
