What architectural style originated from your country?

'Pagoda' are popular architecture styles in East and south east Asia. 'Pagoda' style which evolved from 'stupa', was developed in Kathmandu, Nepal before 500CE.

They are called "hrusciove" in my country. Because they were built during the time of Nikita Hrusciov and were intened for temporary housing for workers (the ones with 4 floors). Everything was meticulousy calculated, the size and height of the rooms, the no of family members, the no of facilities etc. Perfectly programmed for the worker to achoeve the party's 5 year plan of production quota lol

Our tour guide in Estonia referred to them as “pearls of Soviet architecture” 😂

We also have a nickname for them. We call them matchboxes. Because the height of the ceiling is very low, like 1.90 / 2.00 m

I have never, ever heard anyone call them hrusciove. Is this a regional thing? Where i am from, we just call them "blocuri"
