The Five Planets shopping center was opened in the fall of 2018 at the intersection of Dmitrovskoye Highway with Rogachevskoye, in the place where the Klyazminskoye reservoir begins, which smoothly turns into Pirogovskoye to the east. As you know, there is a place of power at the Pirogovskoye reservoir: several famous things of Totan Kuzembaev were built there.

So it is not surprising that MGPM, the Mytishchi City Design Workshop, which was engaged in the construction of the shopping center, attracted Totan Kuzembaev's bureau to design the facades, and the classic rectangular "box" of the shopping center received an asymmetric faceted shell. Note that the shell is similar to the reception desk of the same MGPM, designed and implemented by the same AB Totan, but only from plywood. The rack even seems like a preliminary experience carried out by architects before designing the facade.

The approach itself - "wrapping" the box with a volumetric facade - can be defined as plastic decoration, realized on such a large scale and with such a tangible effect that it ceases to be a "decor", passing into a different, intrinsically valuable quality - if not completely, then perceptibly changing the sensation of the object. He was in Moscow for the first time

applied by the architects of AB ATRIUM during the reconstruction of the building of the cinema "Havana" in the "Planet of KVN".

But back to the Five Planets MTRC. The shell of the shopping center is designed, in general, symmetrically: it embraces three facades visible from the highway and “looks” at it with a media screen in a wide frame removed in the center, spreading wide “wings” on the sides. But this is full face.

And in profile, deep sharp protrusions and alternating triangles are arranged in such a way as to mask the simple shape as much as possible, giving it a resemblance either to a robot of the future, or to a sleeping pterodactyl dragon.

It is well known that a shopping center is a building, by definition, self-enclosed. Marketing rules do not welcome windows to the outside, the buyer should not be distracted by the outside world - therefore, the architectural task in the design of a shopping and entertainment center is to present a large internal mass in one piece and brightly. The “sculptural” approach applied here is perfect for this, it sculpts the form, surprises and captivates. Advertising, which is sometimes plastered with malls from head to toe, is "assembled" into a screen above the entrance and does not violate the integrity of the volume.

The volumetric "skin" of the facades is made up of triangular metal cassettes of various sizes and shapes - their surface reflects the sun's rays in different ways, intensifying either a golden yellow or a cool greenish hue. She, moreover, perfectly catches the sunset light, since the main facade is facing west.

Between the panels there are built-in round plaques of spotlights and strips of linear lamps, so that by the evening the building also glows: so that both day and night it performs the main function - it attracts the eye.

Among the markets, hypermarkets and billboards that create exemplary chaos on the outskirts of the city, the one-piece sculptural work definitely wins. It is possible and after all, and so to attract buyers.

In addition, the building perfectly echoes the planes landing at Sheremetyevo: as if it were also an aircraft, just as shiny and metallic.
