The new cathedral mosque next to the Olympic Sports Complex is already under construction - the almost entirely erected concrete minarets are clearly visible from the avenue and allow you to appreciate the scope. It will be a giant mosque - due to the new prayer hall, its total area will increase from 4 thousand to 30 thousand square meters, and the capacity from 1-1.2 thousand to 4.5 thousand people. The old mosque of 1904 will be demolished and rebuilt. a hundred years ago, architects mis-oriented its mihrab (a niche that should indicate the direction to Mecca). A new building for a Muslim school will also be erected.

The project of the complex (by OOO Architectural Bureau 2002) was previously considered by the council and approved. Now we are talking about assigning it the status of a "unique object" to which the complex claims because of the important urban planning and special cult significance for Moscow Muslims, as well as because of the engineering difficulties associated with the transfer of the existing electrical substation. There was no place for it on the surface, and they decided to place the substation in the basement of the building of the Spiritual Administration, built next to the mosque in the 1990s. Special calculations also required the construction of minarets and a giant dome.

The chairman of the council, Yuri Grigoriev, agreed that the complex of the cathedral mosque is of particular importance and urged those present to attribute it to unique objects, subject to a thorough study of engineering, noise protection from traffic flows and clarification of the heights of the minarets.

The discussion of the development project of the famous Institute of Cinematography of VGIK im. S. A. Gerasimov, located on Wilhelm Pieck Street (the project was developed by FGOU VPPO "Ingestroycenter"). The institute is located in a four-story building of the 1940s, which, according to Vladimir Malyshev, the rector of VGIK and director Sergei Solovyov, who were present at the meeting, does not meet the demands of the educational process of two thousand students. According to the standards, one student is supposed to have 30 square meters of area, while in the current state it is only 11. But the institute has nowhere to grow, only upward, and if the standards were met, it would have to build a tower 88 meters high. The authors of the project settled on medium options - 65 and 75 m.

According to the project, the old building, stretched along Wilhelm Pieck Street, and the relatively new building of the training laboratory of the 1980s, are being built on two floors. The building of the educational film studio is being demolished, and a 13-storey tower with film pavilions, a gym, a canteen and part of the auditoriums is being built in its place. In the corner part of the territory, next to the Baikal hotel, a new 17-storey educational building for the main faculties is being built, as well as an educational theater for 500 seats and a rehearsal hall.

The architectural council was shown four variants of the volumetric-spatial composition. In the first, the new buildings are of different heights and differ in the interpretation of volumes, in the second and third they, on the contrary, are the same in height, 75 and 65 meters, respectively, and are united by a passage. In the fourth version, the towers are merged into a single volume.

The density and altitude declared in the project could not but raise doubts. According to existing standards, an educational building cannot be higher than 9 floors (there are rare exceptions, among them the high-rise of Moscow State University). It was also discussed to what extent the new buildings will be visible from VDNKh and from Ostankino. On the other hand, members of the Council Sergey Kiselev and Viktor Logvinov expressed doubts that the state funding for which the project was designed would be able to provide such a large-scale construction.

The doubts of the council members were caused by the transport scheme, which the Research and Development Institute of the General Plan is developing, without having at its disposal an architectural project, as well as the insolation of the neighboring five-story buildings on Selskokhozyaistvennaya Street. ECOS member Alexei Klimenko urged not to design the superstructure of the old building, but to give it the status of a historical and cultural monument.

Summing up the discussion, Yuri Grigoriev called on the council members to support the intentions and ability of VGIK to expand. According to the first deputy chief architect of Moscow, it is a pity to change the old building, although it would be more rational to demolish it and build a new one. But if the building becomes a monument, then there can be no question of demolition, so it can be built up to the extent that the structures will allow. The Council also suggested that the authors develop an additional, more "capacious" version of the architectural composition of the new construction - in order to create a more comfortable public space within the complex.

The third project considered by the council - a multifunctional complex on Varshavskoe highway (LLC "Dedal"), was subjected to harsher criticism. It is planned to build it near the Prazhskaya metro station, on a site within the boundaries of Kirovogradskaya, Krasny Mayak and Varshavskoe shosse, where there are already two shopping malls owned by the same investor. The territory occupied by the markets will be used for the new object.

Outwardly, the complex paradoxically resembles a medieval castle with towers, three of which contain an office and business center, and the fourth - a hotel. The six first floors throughout the building are given over to trade, but this has not been revealed from the outside. Too low ceilings are assumed throughout. According to Sergei Kiselev, the minimum height for retail premises is considered to be 6 meters, for offices - 3.6 meters (both the authors have made less), and the planned underground parking with five adjacent ramps is not viable. The council members also noted: the absence of a ground guest parking in front of the complex and a bus stop in front of the hotel, a “jammed” road junction. Many of those present agreed with Andrei Bokov that the council, to put it mildly, got excited about approving this complex at the pre-project stage, but the investor in the current situation should be supported, and in his own interests, the investor's interests, the project needs to be redone. Therefore, without wasting time, it is necessary to provide assistance to the team of authors until the investor abandons the project. Summarizing the discussion, Yuri Grigoriev agreed with the general opinion that it is impossible to agree on the draft in this form, it requires a lot of revision. It is necessary to redo the functional zoning, the height of the floors, correct technological miscalculations, identify the purpose of different volumes of the building structurally and on the facades. The revised project must be considered at the Public Council under the Mayor of Moscow on the problems of shaping the architectural and artistic appearance of the city.
