Architect Valentin Voitsehovski (Voițehovski) (1909-1977) – a figure who made significant contributions to the post-war reconstruction of Chisinau and the construction of numerous cities in the republic.

Based on his designs, approximately 100 buildings were erected in Chisinau, including the Patria cinema (1951), the structures of the first Botanica microraion (1952-1962), the Ministry of Food Industry building (1953), the study blocks of the University of Medicine “N. Testemițeanu” (1956-1962), the buildings of microraion IV in Rascani (1961), the State Philharmonic “S. Lunchevici” Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova (1962), several residential blocks on Stefan cel Mare Boulevard in Chisinau, and numerous residential blocks, schools, and cinemas in the cities of Balti and Soroca. In his work, Voițehovski incorporated motifs from Moldovan folk architecture, achieving a harmonious blend with stylized local materials. Drawing inspiration from Byzantine architecture, V. Voițehovski used glazed ceramic elements on building facades for decorative purposes. V. Voițehovski played a key role in the development of Moldovan Soviet architecture and, along with a few architects in his group, established a national school of architecture.

Born in Soroca, he significantly influenced the urban development of his hometown. He was also a co-author of the project to modernize University Square in Bucharest and the author of the project for the Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen in Balti.

In Chisinau, a commemorative plaque in honor of the renowned Polish-born architect is installed on the facade of the building at 73 Stefan cel Mare Boulevard, recognizing his lifelong dedication to enhancing the visibility and prominence of the city of Chisinau after World War II.
