Reasoned answers are given to the opponent’s three key objections.

The Central Scientific and Technical Library for Construction and Architecture (CSTL C&A) in Moscow is the leading library of the Russian Federation in these areas. The library stock contains more than 1 million items of specialized literature, including foreign books and periodicals, and its readers are scholars and researchers from construction and architectural organizations, professors from the higher education institutions, as well as students of specialized colleges and institutes.
