The plant is located at the intersection of Akademik Skryabin and Fergana streets in the south-east of Moscow. The plant was built in 1987 and is a complex of three buildings: production, household and administrative and educational. Now it is an unattractive building in the spirit of the eighties - the horizontal division of the facade, typical for industrial buildings, in combination with the low quality of building materials, creates the flavor familiar to peripheral areas. Reconstruction should make the enterprise an architectural dominant of the area; but its main feature, probably, is that the enterprise is not taken out to give way to housing and offices, but remains in place, only being modernized. This, one must think, is the first reconstruction in several years without changing the function.
Yesterday, on September 25, the jury of the competition determined the winners: the first and second places were shared by the consortia Mosproekt-2 and AB Progress - and Alexey Ivanov's Workshop Archstroydesign ASD, which worked together with MANIPULAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE. The second place was not appointed in this way, the third was taken by the Arch Group team, the fourth - by the Architectural group DNA, the fifth - by the Academician Polyansky MAHPI, and the sixth - by the A2OM + Spectrum duet. The designer will be determined after negotiations with the customer. ***

The authors consider the architecture of the eighties to be quite good, respecting the strong volumetric-spatial composition, the verified rhythms of the facades and the recognizable architectural language. The problem, in their opinion, is the low quality of construction work, materials - and the resulting "fatigue" of buildings that have survived to this day with heavily shabby or hastily repaired facades dotted with air conditioners, cellular antennas and chaotic signboards.
So the architects suggested not to change buildings or facades, but with the help of modern materials and technologies to implement the original plans of their creators - designers TsNIIEP named after B. S. Mezentsev.
Meanwhile, new volumes are attached to the old buildings, lined with glass (solid structural glazing, separated by vertical aluminum posts with a step of one and a half meters) and aluminum, neatly integrating them into the existing modernist composition, primarily due to the 80's proportions. One floor is built over the utility building. The existing facades, consisting of late Soviet panels covered with small mosaics, are being replaced with new ones, similar, but without visible seams.
Particular attention is paid to the improvement and reorganization of the territory - priority, as is now accepted, is given to public areas. The entrance from Fergana Street, accented with a canopy, leads to a shop and a cafe on the first floor of the amenity building and to the main factory checkpoints. The technology and logistics of the plant's operation do not change, the entrances and exits remain in the same places, the existing parking lots are also preserved and landscaped. The illumination is thought over, deliberately uniform and devoid of accents.
Unlike the previous project, here the authors regard the buildings of the plant as not bearing "any meaningful image", except for the memory of the culture and typology of construction of that time, so they propose to significantly change the appearance, and in particular, the facades of the buildings. The main element of the new facades is a fiber cement panel (1.2 mx 1.2 mx 8 mm) with signs carved on it, symbolizing the work processes in different buildings of the plant. Each building gets its "own" color, there are no panels, the walls are painted
The main idea of the improvement was to bring the territory of the plant closer to the surrounding buildings, removing unnecessary barriers. Both the inner and the city territory adjacent to the plant are being improved.
The educational building has been turned into a glass tower. The rest of the buildings are hidden behind new facades, the texture of which, in one way or another, indicates the specialization of pastry and bakery. The largest in terms of area is a facade made of special fabric, on which the texture of the dough with fingerprints and
palms reminiscent of the manual labor of bakers. Daylight easily passes through the translucent facade fabric, while from the outside it does not seem transparent at all, creating the illusion of a solid surface. Another type of facade is made of two layers of perforated material, reminiscent of the structure of sliced bread.
Two floors have been added to the residential building, a slightly elongated corner, like a "mountain peak", becomes a spatial reference point, it is clearly visible from the side of the intersection. To even better connect the complex of the plant with the city, the authors propose to expand the outer landscaped square to the crossroads, revealing the facades of the administrative and amenity building and providing direct access to the complex from the side of Akademik Skryabin Street. The first floors of these buildings are glazed. The main entrance to the amenity building is shifted to the center of the internal double-height lobby. The entrance to the store is proposed to be made at the end of the administrative building so that it faces the same area free from parking, from which the main entrance is organized.
On the territory between the street and the production building, a park with paths and platforms is laid out. The territory of the enterprise is separated from the park by a transparent fence made of vertical steel profiles to open the facade of the production building to the park.
Here, the area of the plant is significantly increased due to outbuildings and superstructures. A store with bakery products is built into the structure of the entrance group. New entrances and parking lots for employees and visitors of the store are being created, the existing parking lot is being landscaped, landscaping includes a pavement, small architectural forms and lighting. The authors also create a new transit walking path from Akademik Skryabin Street to Fergana.
For the facades, two main materials are proposed - perforated metal sheets and glass profiles; the facades are insulated.
The authors of this project call their principle of renovation of the plant a "second skin": all facades are faced with a system of aluminum, translucent shutters, semicircular and other slats, which, by thickening or thinning their rhythm, emphasize certain properties of the building, form protrusions and canopies over the entrances, - in a word, they become a meaningful decorative shell of the buildings, hiding, moreover, external engineering systems. The material is the same everywhere, aluminum, but the color of the case is different.
A walking area with a summer stage and a new cafe on the first floor of the amenity building is being created at the parking site; skating rink in winter. The park along Fergana Street is also being improved: benches, a playground, a shed. The authors subordinate the improvement of the territory of the plant to the speaking image of a wheat field.
