The council felt a festive New Year's mood, the meeting began with the awarding of the laureates of the annual award named after the architect Alexei Gutnov, which is awarded to the most significant scientific, theoretical and practical urban planning developments dedicated to the general plan or some separate fragments of the city. "Mosproekt-2" (headed by MM Posokhin) was awarded for the creation of town-planning regulations for the development of the territory of the "Red October" factory. The Research and Development Institute of the General Plan was awarded twice: for a set of work on the regulation of urban planning activities for the preservation and use of cultural heritage sites in historical territories (leader Sergei Tkachenko) and for the development of city programs for the reorganization of industrial territories (leader Valery Bekker).
The first question on the council - referring the design of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line to the category of unique objects due to technical complexity - was obvious from the very beginning and did not even require discussion. As Nikolai Shumakov, who reported it, noted that the metro is a priori a unique construction. And in this case, it is complicated by hydrogeological conditions - the branch twice crosses the river beds - the Moskva River and the Gorodnya, which required extraordinary engineering solutions from the Metrogiprotrans architects. The idea of a new metro line serving the areas of Orekhovo-Borisovo, Brateevo, Zyablikovo was born 15 years ago, today the need for it has become critical. To unload the Krasnogvardeyskaya station of the green line, a transfer to the Zyablikovo station of the new Lyublinskaya line will be built under the existing tracks. In addition to this station, there are two more in the project - "Shipilovskaya" and "Borisovo", all shallow, vaulted, with two multi-storey lobbies.
Andrei Bokov emphasized that projects for the development of the Moscow metro are always of the highest importance, and the current one must undoubtedly be approved. Yuri Grigoriev, chairing the council, agreed, noting, meanwhile, that the architecture of future stations should still be considered separately.
Then the hotel and business center at the intersection of Novinsky Boulevard with Novy Arbat was considered. We are talking about the second stage - the construction of a five-star hotel. The first stage was built in 2006; it is a shopping and office center between Kamennaya Sloboda, Kompozitorskaya and Sadovoye Koltso streets. The facades of the two volumes (built and projected) form a single arc, which unites them compositionally. In addition, they are placed on a common rectangular stylobate facing the Sadovaya with a stylized colonnade.
As the author of the project, Vladimir Kolosnitsin, explained, the customer wanted the hotel facades to differ from the first stage in the direction of greater pomp and "presentability", since all hotels of this level usually look very traditional, have a classic order and are magnificently decorated. This fact put the authors of the project in a difficult situation: on the one hand, it seemed to them not entirely correct to separate the hotel from the rest of the complex and decorate it separately, on the other hand, a luxury hotel stylistically cannot be a continuation of the glass modernism of the shopping center. As a result, the council was shown three options for the facades.
The task is complicated by the fact that the complex located in an important town planning point is on the border of two different building scales: from the side of Novy Arbat - "book houses", continued towards Kutuzovsky Prospekt by a modern high-rise at the corner with the Garden Ring. And from the side of Novinsky Boulevard - 1-2-storey old Moscow buildings, once overlooking the boulevards, and now adjoining the projected hotel. In the first version, the authors decided to "link" the old with the new with the help of a "giant order" superimposed on the glass façade, suggesting a centric and asymmetric arrangement of the "colonnade". In the second, the order is stylized and the "colonnade" looks more modern. In the third, it was decided to abandon the "classics", and leave the facade modernist, giving some monumentality through the use of stone. The authors showed two possible solutions along this path - a modular stone grid (like the facade of the Frunze military academy) by Lev Rudnev, superimposed on a glass surface, or horizontal divisions.
According to the members of the council who spoke, from the point of view of the layout, the hotel was made flawlessly. Vladimir Kolosnitsin is known as a specialist in this typology. The discussion concerned exclusively the facade solution. Project assistant Alexander Loktev noted that the colonnade is heavy and literally "pushes through" the wall. However, the authors, in his opinion, found the right way by making the facade visually more "weighty". Andrey Bokov recommended not to “discharge” the facade, but to make “a full-fledged, weighted, dense bottom”, corresponding to the image of a five-star hotel. Bokov also drew attention to the role of the end of the building in the perspective of movement along Sadovaya and suggested "defusing" by making loggias. Sergei Kiselev did not like the colonnade option either - according to him, the "order" does not answer the question of what kind of architecture it is - "gravitational", i.e. classic or modern. Sergey Kiselev believes the true modern interpretation, common to the entire complex, with horizontal divisions of the facade.
Alexander Kudryavtsev, following his colleagues, pointed out the incorrectness of the path of the "heroic orders" in this place, where the old Arbat buildings have been preserved. It is, as it were, a substitution of the present, a demolition and a transition "from the historical to this heroic." At the same time, according to Kudryavtsev, the modern version with "overlapping historical layers" is appropriate here, even in a decorative, playful sense. Yuri Platonov's position was similar - "the colonnade on the facade is unnatural and extremely pompous."
Summarizing all the statements, Yuri Grigoriev confirmed the inadmissibility of the "pilaster system", which does not correspond to the scale of the historical development. The architects were recommended to solve the hotel facades in a single volumetric-spatial system with the first stage, but to make the corner of the building traditional in order to logically go to the historical buildings. The Chair also proposed the establishment of pedestrian galleries in the stylobate and generally encouraged approval of the work.
