The Telegraph’s Second Life (photographed September 24, 2026)
In the final version of the project to adapt the Telegraph building for use as a university – which began with a concept by Chipperfield – Sergey Kiselev and Partners served as the design developers and general designers at the working documentation stage. Remarkably, the project by the global “starchitect” turned out to be surprisingly similar to a concept proposed by SKiP itself back in 1997-1999. In this article, Igor Shvartsman and Tatyana Gruzdeva discuss the two projects developed for the Telegraphbuilding – the earlier proposal and the one now implemented.

Julia Tarabarina. The Towers of “Sputnik”
Six towers, which make up a large housing complex standing on the bank of the Moskva River at the very start of the Novorizhskoe Highway, provide the answers to a whole number of marketing requirements and meets a whole number of restrictions, offering a simple rhythm and a laconic formula for the houses that the developer preferred to see as “flashy”.

Julia Tarabarina. A Comfortable City in Itself
The project that we are about to cover is seemingly impossible amidst human anthills, chaotically interspersed with old semi-neglected dachas. Meanwhile, the housing complex built on the Comcity business part does offer a comfortable environment of decent city: not excessively high-rise and moderately private as a version of the perfect modern urbanist solution.

Julia Tarabarina. The Pleated House
Designed by Aleksey Medvedev, the apartment complex on the Franko Street takes on the role of an urban planning highlight without going beyond the limits of a reserved minimalist form. One of its peculiar features is a staircase with a zigzagged ramp, still a rare sight in Moscow.

Julia Tarabarina. Low-rise City Blocks in the Orenburg Plains
Prepared by Sergey Kiselev and Partners, the concept of developing a 150-hectare chunk of land at the outskirts of Orenburg has at least two major string points: the presence of a fair number of what usually is considered to be the components of a comfortable city and the absence of any overly “marketing” techniques – in other words, the project is realistic to the bone.see All Archi.ru Texts / Igor Shvartsman
