 In 1933, when all Moscow architects were assigned to 20 Mossovet workshops, Fomin is appointed to lead "Design Workshop No.3".Here, he designed his three last projects (two will be completed after his death).According to Selim Khan-Magomedov, Fomin was one of the two forerunners of so-called postconstructivism, an early stage of Stalinist architecture (the other was Ilya Golosov).
