On April 20 in Moscow, the jury of the international contest for Sberbank Technology park concept held a meeting with presentations of the bidders. Following the results of the meeting a rating of concepts and the winner of the tender bid ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS (Great Britain) were determined.
“Zaha Hadid concept is a new format ofIT-technology park from the perspective of architecture, — says Sergey Kuznetsov. —These will be unusual for us large light premises with „free“ layout, and a so-called „deep„ office, enabling bank officers to work over the project in the format of small groups consisting of 4-5 people who are at the same time a part of the big team of 100 and more people and in need of an ongoing communication“.
According to Kuznetsov, unconditionally, a personality of the architect would play a special part in this project — Sberbank technological park became the last work of late Zaha Hadid. „That is a splendid opportunity to get a luxurious object for Moscow, — says Sergey Kuznetsov. — A support for the bidding practice from the side of the mayor Sergey Sobyanin, who saw the technological park concept today, enables the city architecture to catch up with the global level“.
