Maria Lyndina. Projection of a Spiral, Projection of a Wave

Architects from Mezonsproekt have designed a high-rise residential complex of four towers near the intersection of Novaya Riga Highway and the Moskva River. Its landmark status is motivated both by the proximity of Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye and its SberCity development, and by the theme of two intersecting flows: water and traffic. The architects have organized the façade pattern around the supergraphic image of a pixelated spiral, intended to animate – and perhaps even transform – the perception of the buildings’ prismatic volumes.
