Biography
In a March, 1982 interview with A. Myagmarzhav in the article, "Beautiful Building-The Soul’s Decoration," in Builder magazine published in Ulaanbaatar, Dambiinyam said, "I've participated in the design of approximately 150 buildings and general plans for sum settlements [comparable to counties in the United States]. I like to say "participated" because design work is collaborative work. Some of the biggest [projects] are: Pioneer Palace buildings; State Institute of Hygiene, Infection, and Bacteriology; Central Fire Command; Radiation Hospital; Infectious Disease Hospital; Songino Rest Center [countryside sanatorium]; Ulaanbaatar City Service Center (known as Urt Tsagaan or Long White); Khovd Province Musical Drama Theater buildings; etc." • Illustration — Architectural rendering of Prime Minister Tserendorj monument, Architect B. 1933-1941 Secondary school, Altanbulag, Selenge 1941-1946 Ministry of the Interior, Ulaanbaatar 1946-1956 Moscow Architectural Institute 1956-1957 Architect, City Planning, Ulaanbaatar 1956-1963 Founding Member, Union of Mongolian Architects 1957-1961 Director, Mongolian Architects Institute 1961-1967 Professor and Dean, Architecture, Mongolian State University, Ulaanbaatar 1967-1971 Director, Architectural Research Institute 1971-1984 Professor and Dean, Polytechnic University, Ulaanbaatar 1984-2001 Professor Emeritus, Mongolian State University, Ulaanbaatar 1984-2001 Architect Consultant, various projects • Illustration — Architect B.
