The Palace of Pioneers appears to be a kind of miniature Brasilia, an experimental city, a dream of idealists. It seems to me that lines written by Novella Matveyeva were meant to speak about the light and harmonious forms of the Palace and its flat-deck roofs:

 

These houses without roofs -

Light without fire -

Were drifting as if

They were ships, not houses.
