Narine Tyutcheva, Ekaterina Rovnova, Fuck Context studio executives:
“The diploma studio with a catchy title was devoted to the discussion about the professional value system: any architect interacts with the context in one way or another, even if he does not attach importance to it or consciously rejects the need for such interaction. The absence of a visible context - a blank field - is also a context. At the end of the year, students had to formulate their own attitude to the context through their project.
The Trekhgornaya manufactory in Moscow became a territory for reflection: the existing land use and development plan (PZZ) provided for the demolition of some objects and the construction of new ones.
The work began with a series of short studies devoted to different components of the context: worldview, history, cultural codes, urban fabric, space and architecture. Completing these tasks, the students studied the territory and in parallel formed the idea of their own project: the response to each task formed the basis of work with the sites.
Students studied the arguments of the PZZ designers and independently made a decision on their site whether to demolish the buildings proposed for demolition or save them, choosing reconstruction or other transformation.
In the second half of the year, the studio moved on to a more detailed design of the buildings - each of the participants had their own object. The studio was based on the idea that the nature of the building is not determined by the function - the purpose of the Trekhgornaya manufactory, built as a factory complex, has changed - but something else. Each of the students independently decided what exactly determines the character of the building and which of the contexts to respond to.
The result was projects that include not only architectural objects, but also a video essay on the path of reflection, as a result of which the student came to a design solution. ***
Maze tower
Daria Khramova
Daria Temple's project is a tower located on the peripheral site between the industrial area of the manufactory and the urban fabric. The project should be viewed as an architectural and political manifesto: in response to constant gentrification, as a result of which whole groups of people are deprived of the right to the city, Daria proposed to create a kind of vertical street - a labyrinth tower.
The tower violates the altitude regulations, exceeding the mark of 37 meters. Growth upwards is both the desire to find a new symbol for the existing territory, and the desire to step out of the environment of post-Soviet architecture, instead of adjusting to it. At the same time, the new object does not cover the panorama of significant historical buildings.

The complex structure of the tower-labyrinth with stairs and passages embodies the space of a living street with all the difficulties and contradictions. Its purpose is to be filled with different functions and thereby fulfill all sorts of desires of the modern man in the street, for whom a visit to a building should turn into an exciting journey.

The internal structure of the tower, however, is quite rational: several cores of stiffness and a grid of columns allow you to build modules between them - from small to huge. Here you can find offices, cafes, housing - modules are rented. The first few floors look like a chaotic jumble of small houses, and then the structure of the building becomes more rational to withstand wind loads. Spaces at different levels are connected by ramps. ***
House introvert
Varvara Dolgaya
Varvara Dolgaya decided to design a new building for Trekhgornaya Manufactory, which she regards as a cultural artifact: having appeared on the square formed by historical buildings, it becomes an important point of attraction, increasing the value of the territory.
The plot is based on a combination of two contrasting spaces: the library (a place that keeps silence) and a chamber music hall (a place where sound is crucial). The author was interested in the inclusiveness of spaces: not only in terms of accessibility, but also in terms of significance for the townspeople. Both libraries and music halls are not very much in demand in Russia, but at the same time they are capable of providing a strong cultural experience.

Exactly half the building is buried. The library is located in the aboveground part, and the chamber music hall is located in the underground part. All floors are built around an atrium, the silhouette of which resembles an hourglass. The above-ground part of the atrium captures light, and the underground part reflects sound. ***
Scenario
Artemy Condon
Artemy Kondon worked with the House of Cultures, which in Soviet times was attached to a building of the 19th century, and now is located on the outskirts of the Trekhgornaya Manufactory, in a dark corner where the technical boxes of air conditioners go out. Having studied the territory, Artemy realized that he did not want to demolish the building, but wanted to emphasize the architectural "palimpsest" that had formed over a century and a half.
Only the structural frame of the building is preserved - concrete columns and floor beams. The floors themselves, the enclosing structures and the roof are replaced. A bar appears in a small four-story building, an amphitheater and a stage above it, and a skylight in the roof above the stage. The building and its character become an ideal backdrop for an experimental theater stage, and through the skeleton frame made of columns and beams, the facade of a 19th century building with embedded window openings, as well as traces of an old staircase, can be seen.

Windows can be opened and closed to show the building and its inner life to the inhabitants of the Trekhgornaya Manufactory, inviting spectators. Or, on the contrary, to hide what is happening. ***
