As you know, in the first working week of 2012 a competition was announced for a concept for the development of the Moscow agglomeration, and only a month later, the chief architect of Moscow, Alexander Kuzmin, gave RIA Novosti a detailed interview on this matter. According to Kuzmin, the competition will be held in three stages. “Within the framework of the first of them, at the level of urbanism, we expect proposals from the bidders that will help us understand what the Moscow agglomeration is all about. The second is planning. The work on it is designed to cover "traditional" Moscow and "new" Moscow - the very "comet tail" that the capital acquired. And at the third level, the designers will have to show how they see the architecture of the new territories. " Already at the end of February, the expert group will determine ten teams that will start developing ideas, and after the end of the third stage, the work of the jury will begin. While its composition is unknown, but it is possible, according to the Union of Architects of Russia, that most of the places in it will be received by foreigners. And the whole of 2013, according to the chief architect of Moscow, should be entirely devoted to the development of a general plan for the development of the capital within its new borders. In addition, Alexander Kuzmin denied information about the planned relocation to new territories of about 2 million Muscovites. How many people will actually live in the "new" Moscow should be proposed by the participants of the competition, "whose ideas no one will limit."

Director of the Museum of Architecture Irina Korobyina also gave a detailed interview - she told the newspaper Novye Izvestia about the prospects for the development of MuAra and that the reconstruction of the famous Talyzin estate on Vozdvizhenka was again postponed. The concept for the development of the museum will be the topic of a separate exhibition, which is scheduled to be held in September this year. Among the other exhibition plans of MuArt is the organization of an exposition of Moscow general plans, which will be timed to coincide with the announced competition for the "Greater Moscow".

Of the Moscow monuments, the Dynamo stadium was in the spotlight of the press this week. Moscow Perspective says that last week excavators began to work there, which are to carry out excavation to strengthen the walls and lay utility networks, and describes in detail the revised project for the reconstruction of the stadium, and RIA Novosti reports that the updated “Dynamo "can be opened after reconstruction in December 2015. "Moskovsky Komsomolets", in turn, states that the first Soviet stadium "will fall victim to reconstruction": urban planning regulations, which were approved by the city authorities, prescribe to preserve and overhaul only the Western part of the arena, and the Southern, Northern and Eastern parts are subject to "dismantling from subsequent restoration ". The basis for such treatment of the monument was the results of a survey of the state of its structures: the experts came to the conclusion that most of the arena is in disrepair and cannot be simply filled up. That is why the authorities authorized the demolition of 75% of the stadium, and at the same time agreed on the development of the underground space of the monument and its overlap with a translucent dome with a height of 66 meters. The demolition of the stadium began on February 10. On the same day, Arkhnadzor issued a statement in which he told in detail the history of the twists and turns with the stadium's security status. On the same day, February 10, the coordinator of Arkhnadzor, Natalya Samover, filed a complaint with the Aeroport police department to initiate a criminal case.

St. Petersburg media this week wrote most of all about the destruction of two historic houses and discussed amendments to the city law "On the boundaries of zones for the protection of objects of historical heritage." So, in the city on the Neva, the rebuilding of Zanadvorova's house on Galernaya Street continues. The building was built on with an additional floor, in addition, the appearance of the already existing third floor of the monument was distorted, the historical decor was seriously damaged. The prosecutor's office opened a criminal case, the developer will be charged with partial destruction of the cultural heritage site. Another attempt was made to demolish the Shagin House on the Fontanka River embankment, as reported by Izvestia. This time the destruction of the building was stopped by a "human shield" - the city defenders stood in front of the excavator buckets. Later, the online edition Karpovka reported that the demolition of the house was suspended until the presidential elections by the decision of the city authorities. State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev and leader of the Just Russia faction Alexei Kovalev turned to the Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko with a request to preserve the historic building. According to the media, the developer company "Non-Residential Fund Consult" is in a hurry to liquidate the object before the amendment to the city law "On the boundaries of zones for the protection of objects of historical heritage" is introduced to ban demolition in the historical center.

Petersburg is actively discussing the very amendment to the city law. City rights activists consider the draft crude and ask the authorities not to rush into its adoption. They turned to the Governor of St. Petersburg with an open letter in which they expressed their dissatisfaction with the amendments. According to public figures, the project will help to weaken the protection of heritage in favor of the interests of the investment and construction block. In response, the vice-governor of St. Petersburg Igor Metelsky said that the law would be finalized taking into account the comments made. Meanwhile, the 36th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee will take place in the summer, Novaya Gazeta SPb reminds, and as a result, work should be completed on entering the St. Petersburg World Heritage sites into the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Sites in Russia. That is why, in the opinion of public figures, radically changing the law now is an absolutely untimely undertaking.

The House of Creativity and Writers' Summer Cottages in Komarovo also unexpectedly found themselves at the center of yet another art-building scandal this week. According to "Fontanka.ru", not so long ago the plans of the board of the St. Petersburg branch of the Literary Fund of Russia became known, which intends to reconstruct the House of Creativity in the very near future, and build two-storey cottages on the site of summer cottages. The chairman of the St. Petersburg Writers' Union Valery Popov has already spoken out in defense of the unique environment of Komarovo. However, the directorate of the House of Creativity asserts that the writers' concerns are premature, and the reconstruction is unlikely to go beyond "cosmetics".

The Tsvetnoy shopping center in Moscow, designed by Project Meganom, won the EuroShop Retail Design Awards as the most beautiful European design department store. Another competition took place in Perm: where Art. Lebedev Studio became the leader in online voting for the best improvement project for Komsomolsky Prospekt. According to the concept of Lebedev and his team, the avenue will turn into a single promenade space, and its elements (small architectural forms, benches, lanterns) will emphasize the variety of styles and landscape of the boulevard. The main color of the prospectus, according to the authors, should be red. The results of the voting will be forwarded to the Perm Mayor's Office, where the final decision will be made.

At the end of the review - about architectural excursions and an exhibition. The project "Entering the City" has been resuming its work since February, according to RIA Novosti. Muscovites will again be able to go on free excursions to the historical sites of the capital. On February 15, the first "exit" will take place this year - a visit to the constructivism monument "Club named after Zuev" by architect Ilya Golosov.
