Yesterday in Moscow the results of the competition for the development of the architectural appearance of two new stations of the Third interchange metro circuit were summed up: Nagatinsky Zaton and Klenovy Boulevard. The competition was organized by the CENTER strategic development agency on the initiative of Mosinzhproekt JSC. Recall that the jury chose the top ten finalists based on the results of the qualifying stage, in which 51 teams took part.
Last summer, Muscovites chose the design for the Sheremetyevskaya, Rzhevskaya and Stromynka stations by voting on the Active Citizen website. This time there was no online voting, and the projects for implementation were selected by the jury of the competition. The decision criteria included compliance with the context of the area, comfort and safety of all categories of passengers, economic feasibility and compliance with technical requirements.
For the station "Nagatinsky Zaton" the concept of the za bor workshop was recognized as the best, and for the "Klenovy Boulevard" - the concept of the Archslon bureau. Below are all ten projects developed during the competition, five for each station.
Nagatinsky backwater
winner
za bor
The winning project turns the metro station into a museum of river fauna. Here are the inhabitants of the rivers of the capital region and, in particular, the Nagatinsky backwater. On the walls of the station are large mosaic images of fish, and in the ticket office you can even get encyclopedic information.
IND Architects
The architects chose rings as the main design element - as an association with the radial-ring system of the city and the metro. The rings can be seen in the design of the ground pavilion, in the checkout lobby, and in the interior of the station.
Vertex Architects
This concept is based on the proximity of the Nagatinsky Zaton region to water and communication with river transport. The architects propose to create an "underwater station" where the ceiling is a surface of water, so passengers can see the bottom of the boats at the top, as if folded out of paper.
HAAST + Sporaarchitects (Russia - Hungary)
The architects are moving away from the traditional interiors of the Moscow metro and creating minimalist spaces in the spirit of constructivism. The finishing is dominated by rough materials - concrete and Corten steel.
AEL + bureau U-R-A (Russia - Latvia)
The image of a "living" cloud becomes central in this project. The air flow that is generated as trains pass through the tunnels will drive the station ceiling. The idea of a cloud ceiling continues in the wavy décor of the checkout rooms and under-street passages.
Maple Boulevard
winner
Archslon
The concept is based on the cultural context of the area: the architects use traditional ornaments, references to folk crafts, and interpret the elements of the historical buildings preserved here in a modern way. For example, the shape of the lobby is the author's interpretation of the silhouette of the ceiling of the palace of Alexei Mikhailovich in Kolomenskoye.
AB Khvoya + E. S. M. E (Russia - Italy)
The main elements of this project are white brick arches and a contrasting red and black granite floor. They form the recognizable appearance of the station.
IND Architects
Instead of plunging underground, IND Architects propose to be in the clouds, to experience the feeling of lightness and airiness. The use of exceptionally light colors in the decoration not only supports the cloud metaphor, but also creates a solemn atmosphere inherent in the historic districts.
Pride + Ariasranea (Russia - Argentina)
The design concept is based on simplicity of solutions and clear lines. The architects have abandoned flashy, artsy materials in favor of calmness, modesty and simplicity. The interior is light and uniform and easy to navigate. The integrity of the station space is its main visual advantage.
HAAST + Sporaarchitects (Russia - Hungary)
As in the design of the Nagatinsky Zaton, the architects move away from solemnity and adhere to the principles of minimalism and the use of rough materials. The interiors are decorated in shades of gray and green. The main metaphor is immersion in the underworld.
