A 1:100 plaster study model of Konstantin Melnikov's Rusakov Workers Club, capturing the building's distinctive asymmetric massing with its dramatically cantilevered upper volume and angled canopy slab. The model is hand-cast in white plaster on a plaster base, with a wire-mesh grid inset representing the large facade glazing, a small railing element, and a miniature figurine on a dark plinth as contextual accessories. It foregrounds the bold volumetric composition and cantilevered geometry rather than surface or constructional detail.
