Rational Proposal

Rational Proposal

The project of Pavel Andreev's workshop won the competition for the concept of a block on the banks of the Ramenka River. The architects proposed to make the quarter more comfortable for life, added an internal boulevard, reduced the number of storeys of residential towers without reducing the total area. However, this proposal is still destined to remain on paper, because it does not comply with the previously approved standards for the site, and agreeing on new ones is, in principle, possible, but long and expensive. It is worth pondering what urban planning norm

Tamed Whirlwind

Tamed Whirlwind

Recently, the ADM architectural bureau has been working on a very complex and unusual project - the reconstruction of a tenement house of the early 20th century into an ultra-modern class A office building. The complexity of the project lies in the need to preserve the historical facade while completely renewing the "filling" in accordance with the latest technical requirements. Unusual - in the interpretation of the "modern part", in the very middle of which is hidden a glass atrium curved and iridescent in different colors

Kindergarten: Architectural Solution

Kindergarten: Architectural Solution

In the spring of this year, several well-known Moscow architects were invited to participate in the design of new kindergartens in the center of the capital. Dmitry Alexandrov's workshop presents three projects made for this order - on Novokuznetskaya street, in Kotelniki and on Bolshaya Gruzinskaya. The planning findings in these projects are similar, but the buildings are different

City Of Architectural Eccentricities

City Of Architectural Eccentricities

On Tuesday, the RIA Novosti press center hosted a round table dedicated to the problem of Moscow's architectural heritage. This initiative was provoked by a number of recent events: the opening of the new Voentorg, the scandal with the superstructure of Pasternak's house, the ridiculous story of the "undermining" under the Kremlin next to the Zaikonospassky monastery, the statement of the capital's government about the imminent completion of the reconstruction of the Moscow hotel, as well as the imminent restructuring of the ensemble of Proviant warehouses

Tree House

Tree House

The ensemble of three similar arched buildings, united by a common stylobate with a parking, is simple only at first glance. In fact, it is endowed with a plot tied around a tree planted in a round well in the very center of the complex. Probably, due to the appearance of a living tree core, buildings also gradually begin to come to life and "move". Figuratively speaking

Crystalline Formation

Crystalline Formation

This building looks like a large crystal that develops according to the internal laws specified by the modulus of its structural lattice. That allows him to flexibly respond to all the restrictions of the place, remaining himself and without losing the crystallinity of the image

In The Context Of Modernism

In The Context Of Modernism

AM Vissarionova has developed another "resort" project - a modernist residential complex for the Sochi district "Mamayka". Three buildings, resembling boomerangs in plan, are erected on a terraced stylobate plateau and are covered with "honeycomb clothing"

All Faster, Time Rushes Faster And Faster

All Faster, Time Rushes Faster And Faster

More and more often, new office centers are located closer to the Moscow Ring Road. It is quite spacious here, and the architect is given the opportunity to "play" with large forms, without worrying about how they will fit into the sequence of urban development. The context - and at the same time the observers - here are cars passing at high speed. It seems that this is what determined the architectural solution of the administrative and business complex on the first kilometer of Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway. It turned out … even romantic

Drop Of Design

Drop Of Design

Both the stool and the house have the same post-and-beam system, the bathtub and the pool differ only in scale. Throughout the 20th century, architects have successfully worked in the field of industrial design, from Joseph Hoffmann to Zaha Hadid, from Le Corbusier to Jean Nouvel. Of the Russian architects of the past, I remember Rodchenko and the Vesnin brothers. If we talk about modern Russian names, then we cannot fail to mention the Panakom bureau

Everyday Life Through The Looking Glass

Everyday Life Through The Looking Glass

The project for the construction of new buildings at IMET RAS will probably remain on paper. But it is interesting in that it very clearly expresses a new trend in contextual architecture - the construction of large buildings-mirrors designed to "absorb" the surroundings, reflecting them and thereby creating a "second", theatrical reality of the city

The Legacy Of The Avant-garde Through The Eyes Of Students

On Wednesday, the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture hosted a presentation of projects by Italian and Moscow students dedicated to the arrangement of avant-garde monuments.

Life Of One Form

Life Of One Form

The popularity of the flower-villa project in Turkey pushed the architects of Yuri Vissarionov's bureau to another experiment in private housing construction, although this time, however, they moved from the southern shores to the meadows near Moscow. The incubator of ideas, according to the authors, in both cases was a competitive project of a transforming house, embodying the futuristic idea of mobile and to some extent "revived" housing
