Five young architectural studios were invited to participate in the competition, which Nike organized together with KB Strelka: Kosmos Architects, Rhizome, Novoe, Crosby Studios and Hora. The task of the architects was to develop the concept of a corporate sports center that would organically fit into the cultural urban space and at the same time reflect the philosophy of the famous brand.
The best project was named Nike Air Box by Kosmos Architects. It is he who will be implemented on the territory of Gorky Park in 2017.
It is a multifunctional sports ground that at the same time resembles a backyard hockey rink and a shoebox. There are several functional areas on the master plan: football, basketball and a workout area. In the center there is a rectangular pavilion, each side of which has its own purpose. The active use of glass and mirror surfaces allows you to visually increase the volume of the building and create a feeling of spaciousness and openness.
Below are the concepts of the rest of the participants. You can learn more about the projects and layouts of all the contestants at the exhibition in the Nike flagship studio (Kuznetsky Most 14, 4th floor), which will be open to everyone until May 5.
