Julia Tarabarina. Gene code for a district, or poetic town-planning

A ‘design-code’ produced by Sergey Skuratov’s workshop for the 473 district in Khamovniki presents a new variant of Moscow town-planning. It is more than just a plan or a list of recommendations, it gives a detailed image of the district in project. It is interesting to note that here the architect is concerned not just with volume and texture but with ‘psychological problems’ of the locality, and tries to bring a new soul into it.

Julia Tarabarina. Confrontation at Donskoy

The concept was offered for the architectural competition for the best project of building up the area of ‘Krasny proletariy’ factory; its plan view reminds of a map of military operations between ‘modernism’ and ‘historicism’. It is noteworthy that 300 years ago at the same place the army led by Boris Godunov confronted forces of Gazy Geray. The concept is new for Moscow since it separates private and public spaces by placing them on different levels and forms more comfortable type of urban space.

Julia Tarabarina. The house. Almost as alive

An office complex will settle down not far from the well-known Danilovskoj manufactory - such neighborhood has made almost inevitable the reference to a theme of the brick hinting at the invoice of old factory buildings, on industrial Moscow that existed long before The Soviet Union.
