The two tower of the 'Village' are great, but all the designs of the Medical Center are terrible.

[Newcastle Guy]

The two tower of the 'Village' are great, but all the designs of the Medical Center are terrible.

totally agree

[Dan1987]

The medical centre looks like a bunch of Quality St boxes stacked next to eachother, not good at all!

[Mosaic]

those are nice projects but I don't like The Medical one.

[coth]

i removed first picture. i think second design is final.

[Chad]

One of the best looking project in Moscow!!! :eek:

Japanese architect Kiyonuri Kikutake is working on new residential project for Mirax Group corporation. Mirax is planning to build it on the bank of Moscow-river on west of Moscow. There are two different versions currently considering by Mirax. First is tower over 70 storeys tall and second with less than 70 storeys.

[themongrel]

i would have thought those 3 hospital towers would be linked by skybridges to make it easier to move patients around

as for the towers themselves, they're not briliant but they're not bad either

i like the other 2 projects more though

[Lord_Bertrum]

I'll withhold judgement on the three medical centre towers until I can see a better render.

[delahaye]

I really like the village development. it is amazing, how many towers are currently going up or being planned in moscow. no other city in europe can beat that.

[blue_man100]

very nice proyects for a great city !!

[Hollandski_KGB]

Coth are those 3 medical buildings going to be hospitals, If so I think they are going to be the highest hospital buildings in the world ?

[coth]

Yes, possibly will be tallest if will be built. But i'm not sure this design is taller of 143 meters. However, only 37 thous out of 190 thous sq m will be for medical usage. Other will be rehabilitation center, recreation zone, kindergarten and apartments.

[Hollandski_KGB]

^well since they are approved I suppose they are going to build it ?

[Bertez]

Wow, very nice:D

A city's not a city anymore unless it has a crazy twisting skyscraper. At least this one looks better than most...but I'm getting tired of the same old design.

Norman Foster: Space and Time
http://www.fosterandpartners.com/

Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts

25 April - 2 July, 2006

'Norman Foster: Space and Time' is a major new exhibition on the work of Foster and Partners which opens today at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The exhibition explores key themes in the work of the practice, encompassing a diverse range of international projects over a number of years. The themes are historic and cultural buildings, towers, sustainability and infrastructure.

Historic and cultural buildings include the Carre d'Art Nîmes, the Great Court at the British Museum, the Berlin Reichstag, New Holland Island in St Petersburg and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Showing a concern for physical context and a sensitivity to the culture and climate of place, this body of work fuses the celebration of existing structures with contemporary interventions. In addition, the Sage Gateshead - now one of Tyneside's great social spaces and a state-of-the-art performance venue - illustrates the urban regeneration potential of a successful new building for culture.

The second theme focuses on tall buildings and presents Foster and Partners continuing redefinition of the nature of towers and the way in which they can respond to the context and the spirit of their cities. Equally important is the ecological programme, demonstrated by natural systems of lighting and ventilation as well as energy saving strategies in buildings like Commerzbank, 30 St Mary Axe and the Hearst Headquarters. The recent design for Moscow City Tower reveals the sophisticated structural, functional, environmental and urban logic that underlies this green super-high tower.

Environmental awareness is an integral part of the practice's culture as it evolves to meet the challenges of the next forty years, and the third theme of sustainability is central to Foster and Partners' design methodology. Most notably, the exhibition illustrates a range of innovative techniques used to meet the energy challenges of projects such as Eurogate, Chesa Futura, and London's City Hall.

Over the past four decades, Foster and Partners' quest for excellence has embraced not only architecture but also infrastructure - the connections and spaces between buildings - and this fourth theme is explored through a number of projects including Dresden Station, Stansted and Beijing Airports, the Millennium Bridge and Millau Viaduct.

Finally, a selection of Lord Foster's personal sketches and a presentation of photos from a recent book, Reflections, published in 2006, will also be displayed.

======================================================

unfortunately making shots is forbidden there, but anyway i think to go there...

Moscow contract for Edinburgh firm
Thursday May 4, 2006
The Guardian
http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1767359,00.html

Tower of two halves: artist's impression of City Palace, designed by RMJM


The architects who designed the expensive Scottish parliament building will build a lavish skyscraper in central Moscow, a city so awash with petrodollars that it should not balk at the cost.

A group of Edinburgh architects yesterday announced that the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, had approved their design, right, for the City Palace, a 46-storey tower shaped like a drill bit or, as the designer more flatteringly has it, "two ribbons wrapping around each other". Based in the capital's new financial district, it will stand metres away from another British-designed skyscraper, the Moscow City Tower, created by Lord Norman Foster and intended to be the tallest building in Europe.

Mr Luzhkov is encouraging extensive reconstruction across Moscow. Advocates say he is creating the richest looking city in Europe, while critics dismiss his projects as vulgar and ostentatious.

The architects, RMJM, have described the tower as "sexy" and "sensual". The firm's director and concept designer for the tower, Tony Kettle, said a register office in the base of the tower was inspiration for its design. "We wanted it to look like the marriage of two halves, with a feeling of celebration," he said. "It is a very rich and expressive building." A ballroom will rest on top of the £120m spiral, providing views of Moscow.

City Palace will be partly financed by Alexander Chigirinsky, a property tycoon, whose brother Shalva is backing the Moscow City Tower, a 118-storey building expected to cost £830m. "Ours is not going to be the tallest, but the most beautiful," Mr Kettle said.

Mr Kettle's firm designed the Scottish parliament building, which was completed in 2004 for £431m, 10 times its estimated cost. While the Chigirinsky brothers are known for their deep pockets, Mr Kettle said this project would provide value for its investors.

[coth]

New skyscraper proposed.

64 storeys office building with huge public transport junction for Filyovskaya and Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya metro lines, Smolenskoye Direction commuter line and buses.

some of the designs are pretty cool. the amount of construction is pretty impressive. hail to europe's dubai.

WOW!!! Really impressive, the designs of these buildings are great, pretty futuristic stuff going on in Moscow, oh! and he best part is that most of them are tall.

(politics mode on)
Oh, but then some people in (say) the USA can't even buy food or get healthcare, and who'd have guessed they would keep on setting up military bases around the world, or wasting one billion a day for the occupation of a foreign country? :blahblah:
(politics mode off)

[KWEST]

Wow, and some people in Russia can't even buy food. Who'd have thought the country would become Metropolis?

you clearly dont understand the concept of a federation which Russia is today. Place's like Chechnya or the Caucuses where mostly non Russiand live is quite different from the rest of the country.

[coth]

is it necessary to hijack every thread with anti-russian hysteria?

[Mekky II]

It's not necessary to talk about Russia or politics, Moscow owns half of russian GDP, it's a rich city, so nothing wrong with skyscrapers. (without saying that it's not mostly moscovits or russians that invest in towers...).

Keep along the nice thread :)

Has there been any development in the Moscow metro network? I came to hear that moscow has the deepest metro station is it true?....Perhaps moscow has the largest metro network in this world....Moscow metro stations are very beautiful...

However I love St Petersburg more than Moscow for its traditional architecture..
St Petersburg is an open museum under the open sky .

[CULWULLA]

wow, this is huge.
at 600m tall, it measures 160m wide at base. thats 70m wider then Burj dubai.
It also measures 40m wide at top. the main roof is 490m and roof top is 511m. approx.
seems to be 4 observation decks? highest in world? Burj Dubais 124th floor ob deck tops out at 485m i think?
http://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/1860453435.jpg

[coth]

gray zones are technical zones i think - for anti fire purposes. observation deck will be definitely on top - somewhere between 500 and 530 meters. may be open deck on the roof... i have doubts in 500-600 figures. i think these just rounded numbers. there is no 100 meters between the top floor and the pinnacle. so if pinnacle is around 600m then top floors with deck and restaurants will be between 490 and 530 meters...

[Newcastle Guy]

That looks like a pretty nice place to live SimFox

Newcastle Kid: Did you mean Russian Tower? (it will also have apartments) or Rublevo- Archangelsfoe? if first you will have to cauth out (Coth??) some serious dou!
In another resedential towers in the area called Capital City (two towers one called Moscow - m 73 floors and St. Petersburg - m, 62 floors prices will be set at the level on 10 000- 15 000 per sq M, / 1 000- 1 500$ per sq. f. ) this one will definatelly be more expesive. But comparing it to simirar structures in the rest of the world still - cheap as chips! ;-)Newcastle Kid: oh yeah, if you will be able to couth out (Coth??) some serious dou!
In another residential towers in the area called Capital City (two towers one called Moscow - m 73 floors and St. Petersburg - m, 62 floors prices will be set at the level on 10 000- 15 000 per sq M, / 1 000- 1 500$ per sq. f. ) this one will definitely be more expensive.

Rublevo-Archangelskoe will probably also be quite pricy in Moscow terms. On the other hand the project is HUGE - biggest in Europe, so that may bring prices down quite a bit. Rublevo-Archangelskoe will probably also be quite pricy in Moscow terms. On the other hand the project is HUGE - biggest in Europe, so that may bring prices down quite a bit. But still, the whole idea of a project is segregation of haves and have nots! As presently Moscow is very mixed and new high class buildings often rise among run down commieblocks, so thert isn’t really gettoes, but people paying they hard earned cash more and more want to live with similar social groups, so, Rublevo-Abramcevo is a first attempt to create exclusively well-to-do town.

Wow, and some people in Russia can't even buy food.
Everyone in Russia can buy food. I think the percentage of homless and extremly poor people is not higher than in... USA for example. Yes we still have many poor people, but they have roof, electricity, water and able to buy and often to grow food on 'dachas'. Maybe some of them can't buy quality and diverse food, but they don't die because of hunger. And the number of such people is decreased every year: incomes are growing.

Oh, but if you are planing to stay with your beloved illusions about bears in 'ushankas' drinking vodka in the streets - that's your business.

Moscow No. 1 for Building
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2006/09/26/061.html

Moscow surpassed Beijing and Shanghai in new construction and now has the greatest amount of space under construction worldwide, a survey by commercial real estate brokerage Colliers International said last week.

Moscow has 26.9 million square feet of office space under construction, followed by Dubai with 24 million square feet, Colliers said. Beijing was next at 23.6 million feet, then Shanghai at 21.6 million.

"The motto here is, 'If you build it, it will lease, even if it's not great product,'" said Aaron Block, a director for Cushman & Wakefield Stiles Riabokobylko in Russia. "It's the highest-profile market for us right now." (Bloomberg)

^^ And if you keep building dross like that you won't either lol. I know I don't, Newcastle tends to have older buildings. lol. And atleast our commielocks are being demolished, we aren't building more!Maybe that's because Newcastle's necessities aren't the same as Moscow's. By the way, "commieblocks" just means "big apartment blocks". They keep on building them all over the world, not just in Russia. Last time I checked there were some hundreds thousands of them being constructed in China, India, South America... you name it.

[Newcastle Guy]

The main argument is not that they are called commie blocks, it is that they are of low quality, and some people seem to think they are great for some reason.

[Peloso]

The main argument is not that they are called commie blocks, it is that they are of low quality, and some people seem to think they are great for some reason.I don't want to enter your discussion with Coth, but I can't find anyone's post stating that low quality architecture is great architecture. All I can find is you expressing your personal opinion that some buildings are low quality. Well I'd wait for them being actually built, or at least for some more renders, before making such a statement.

[Newcastle Guy]

I don't want to enter your discussion with Coth, but I can't find anyone's post stating that low quality architecture is great architecture.

From Coth: 'great looking commieblocks'

I just don't believe that population growth warrants poor architecture. They aren't the worst towers I have seen, but they sure as hell aren't the best. There are much better ways to go about building highrise apartments than building rows of what appear to be poor quality towers that all look exactly the same.

[Peloso]

From Coth: 'great looking commieblocks'Hum. Maybe logic undergoes change when dealed with in architecture forums, anyway I'm still stuck trying to find a place where someone affirms that something low quality is actually great. All I see is two conflicting opinions. Mostly I don't understand your prejudice based on a first-draft render. See, you seem to be SO sure these building are not only ugly, nay, but POOR QUALITY structures.

[xAKxRUSx]

The main argument is not that they are called commie blocks, it is that they are of low quality, and some people seem to think they are great for some reason.

How exactly do you know that they are of low-quality?

[Newcastle Guy]

I will gladly change my mind if they do turn out to be good when finished, but to me they greatly echo the rows of identical ugly buildings built in my country in the 1960's. I guess one of the reasons I don't like them is basically because they are a row of identical buildings, designed to hold as many people of possible. 95% of the time the materials used for this kind of building are poor and/or the finished product looks boring and frankly dreadfull. Just because they changed to look more like the times doesn't make them any better than the old ones, they will be looked at as horrible in 30 yers like the old ones are now. Cities don't deserve this. But like I said, if they do turn out to be high quality, I will of course admit I was wrong.

[Newcastle Guy]

How exactly do you know that they are of low-quality?

As I said, they are designed to hold as many people as possible, and the row of identical towers makes for a horrible view. TBH they look monolithic. They may not be, but from experience of developments like this, they tend to be. I certainly would not want this in my city.

Maybe your country's commieblocks from the 60es were flawed, but in Russia, and in many other countries, buildings from the same era still provide good quality housing. The very fact that they are still inhabitable testifies that the main structures are VERY HIGH quality. If anything, in the majority of cases there is lack of maintenance. But when maintenance is also good, they are just the best houses around. Take the case of East Berlin: the commieblocks from the sixties-seventies have only had a slight facelift and now they are being rented at stellar prices, so no one is even remotely thinking of demolishing them.
May I add that the commieblocks built in Warszaw Pact countries have many more perks, like a high energetic efficiency, wide green areas between each other, and more.As I said, they are designed to hold as many people as possibleAnd this is a minus in your view? Sheesh. Ever heard of urban sprawl? Or of homeless people? Or of renting fees?

obviously our views on commie blocks are different.

And this is a minus in your view? Sheesh. Ever heard of urban

Yes, actually. People shouldn't have to be packed in to huge bulcking monolithic towers to solve a cities population problems.

You know you don't have to design rows of identical towers to solve the problem of Urban sprawl, it just makes the city look ugly. These would probably look better if one was twice the height and their were only two. At least then there would be some variation and they wouldn't look like a wall.

Oh and I highly doubt it will solve the problem of homeless people unless the developers/government are giving them away for free.

You know what, keep your ugly highrise commie blocks. I'll take a properly designed, large space tower not made to stuff in as many people as possible any day of the week.

[coth]

you looking from uk side - because in uk commieblocks was very low quality. instead of eastern europe, where commieblocks provides high living standards.
you will not take much, because your city does not have enough population growth.

[Newcastle Guy]

I will admit that the old blocks in the UK tend to be very low standard

Yes. VERY unique things. Of course Russia has had good unique architecture (aside from commie blocks and stuff, everybody has that). But I mean the old stuff like the Kremlin and St. Basils and Saint Sophia. Its only natural they should still get interesting stuff.

[909]

This post is not about skyscrapers, but i have a question about other developments in Moscow. Is it true that the city has serious problems concerning the increased traffic so it becomes too congested? Are there any developments going on to handle these problems?

[xAKxRUSx]

^^ Well like any other multi-million megapolis, traffic is bad. They're planning on building a new Ring, and more roads. So yea, there is development, but traffic is bad.

Yes, KGB was divided. Two main divisions are FSB (Federal Security Service, like FBI in the USA) and SVR (External (foreign?) investigation service, like CIA). There is also Service of special communications and information (ex. FAPSI — Federal service of Government communication and the information) — they work with government communications and hold certified encryption systems codes.

The Malling of Moscow: Imperial in Size and a View of the Kremlin

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/03/15/arts/Foster1650.jpg
A hotel and retail complex planned for historic Moscow, designed by Norman Foster.

By NICOLAI OUROUSSOFF
Published: March 15, 2007
nytimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/15/arts/design/15fost.html?ref=design)

In architectural terms, few cities have endured more abuse than Moscow has during the last decade or so, from the ruthless demolition of major historic landmarks to the boom in garish faux-historical reproductions. So I suppose the news that Norman Foster, one of the world’s most talented architects, has designed a glorified mall in Moscow shouldn’t seem tragic.

The project will replace one of the most notorious buildings of the Soviet period, the gargantuan 1960s-era Rossiya Hotel, on a critical site overlooking St. Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin. A sleek complex of buildings with classical overtones, it will include 470,000 square feet of retail space, four hotels and a 2,500-seat performance hall, making it the largest single development in the historic core of Moscow since the Soviet empire collapsed 15 years ago.

While Mr. Foster’s participation may hearten those who hope to raise the city’s architectural standards, this is clearly not one of his better designs. It lacks the structural flamboyance of his most memorable buildings, and its strange blend of classical and modern elements edges dangerously close to parody — the kind of generic soft-core historicism we see so often in large-scale developments in cities striving to enter the global marketplace. It is a sanitized view of the ferocious architectural clashes that shaped this city for centuries and made such a haunting apparition.

The demolition of the Rossiya was also part of a cleansing process. I’ll admit that its hulking concrete-and-glass shell was hardly a shining example of 1960s architecture. Having stayed there as a student in the ’70s, I vaguely recall its labyrinthine corridors, the cockroaches, the threadbare rooms legendarily littered with bugging devices. But from the perspective of 2007, it had a refreshing, unadorned directness. And its destruction must be understood as part of a broader effort to erase the memory of seven decades of Soviet rule.

The Moscow Hotel, a major landmark from the Stalinist era, is gone. Buildings from the late 1920s, like Moisei Ginzburg’s Narkomfin Housing and Konstantin Melnikov’s workers’ clubs, among the most influential works of the 20th century, are in ruins. More often than not, this history is being replaced with a theme-park version of pre-Revolutionary Russia that glosses over Moscow’s real history.

Although Mr. Foster’s design never quite descends to this level, its bland slickness is disturbing in its own way. The biggest strength of this project is as an urban plan. Mr. Foster begins by restoring portions of the historic street grid removed when the Rossiya Hotel was built, which is a reasonable enough approach.

Two major pedestrian streets are then cut diagonally through the site. The main one runs from the edge of the Moscow River toward St. Basil’s Cathedral, with its brightly colored onion domes, and Red Square. A second is set on an axis with the distant dome of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the local metro station, another Stalinist landmark.

The crisscrossing streets divide the site into irregular parcels with a triangular plaza at the center that is the heart of the new complex. By using the street grid to frame views of nearby monuments, Mr. Foster forges a powerful visual relationship with the surrounding city, orienting you within a historical narrative that stretches from medieval Russia through the Soviet era to the present.

The view of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, a gaudy fake that sums up the new Moscow, is the culmination of that history. Stalin blew up the original church in the 1930s to make way for the Palace of the Soviets, but it was never completed, and Khrushchev had one of the world’s largest outdoor swimming pools built there. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the pool was torn up too, and the church was rebuilt as an ersatz version of the original, rising atop a multistory garage.

The site’s context demands a powerful statement about the present. But the individual buildings Mr. Foster has designed fail us. Although still nothing more than sketches, they are adorned with a bizarre blend of historical references. Their forms are essentially traditional courtyard blocks with street-level shops connected by a series of covered porticoes. The exterior of the performance hall is lined with arcades. And the complex sits atop a vast underground mall whose internal corridors reflect the street grid above.

The ceremonial axis is straight out of Haussmann’s Paris. The porticoes evoke the Rue de Rivoli. The arcaded facades vaguely conjure the stripped-down classicism of the E.U.R. quarter in Rome, a pinnacle of Fascist architecture. (There are no onion domes in the scheme, but Mr. Foster could never have lived that down with his colleagues.)

Mr. Foster is known as an architect who is more than willing to appease big corporate clients. His best buildings have been designed for people longing for something fresh. In this case his client is the Russian developer S.T.T. While he doubtless must placate Muscovites who want to obliterate bad memories, what he ends up with is a vague nostalgia, even if his project is unquestionably superior to the postmodernist nonsense that was rising all over Moscow in the 1990s.

But let’s try to be optimistic. In some ways the plan can be seen as a positive turning point. Only a few years ago it seemed that Moscow was in the throes of a building boom that was so violent and corrupt that it appeared certain that swaths of precious history would be erased. Since then, some patrons have emerged to ensure that a handful of threatened Soviet landmarks are being restored.

Mr. Foster’s megacomplex could be viewed as a step toward enlightenment, a tentative, somewhat mediocre design that at least tackles the challenge of serious planning in one of the world’s most intriguing cities. What we’re still waiting for is the architecture.

Finally they'll destroy this concrete monster, that building complex was just awful :banned:

It's already demolished. But Foster's version is much worse. It's hideous and looks out of place.
