Termoelectrica plant facade mosaic
A monumental 1969 mosaic on the facade of the district-heating utility's building at Tudor Vladimirescu 6 in the Râșcani sector (today the seat of SA "Termoelectrica"). The horizontal panel above the entrance develops the theme of energy and tamed fire: energy-worker figures, machinery and pipework, a cooling tower, and radiant concentric forms suggesting flame, executed in smalt with a palette of deep blue, brown-ochre and violet accented with red, green and gold. The Chișinău municipality's Category B public-monuments register records it under the title "Îmblânzirea focului" ("Taming of Fire"), code C-L-md-213. The author is not documented.
