The primary materials used in constructing Socialist Realism buildings were typically concrete, steel, and glass. These materials were chosen for their functional and durable qualities, as well as their ability to convey a sense of grandeur and permanence. Concrete was the primary construction material, used for the main structure and façade of the buildings. Steel was used for reinforcement and to create large, open interior spaces. Glass was incorporated to allow natural light into the buildings and to create a sense of transparency and modernity.
