Useynov & Dadashev.
Azerbaijani architectural partnership formed c. 1929 by Mikael’ Useynov (b Baku, 19 April 1905) and Sadykh (Alekper ogly) Dadashev (b Baku, 15 April 1905; d Moscow, 24 Dec 1946). Useynov studied at the Azerbaijan Polytechnical Institute, Baku, from 1921 to 1929. Dadashev completed his studies at the same institution the same year. In their first joint works they applied Constructivist principles within the context of the physical and climatic conditions of Azerbaijan. Examples include the food factory (early 1930s) in Bailov, a suburb of Baku, with numerous terraces and a pergola on the flat roof, and the teaching block (1930–31) of the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute, Baku. In the same style are several residential buildings, some of which were extended into large complexes, such as the Novy Byt complex (early 1930s), Baku. Using reinforced-concrete construction, and occasionally imitating it in stone, Useynov and Dadashev overcame the stark asceticism that characterizes many Constructivist residential blocks of this period.
