Competition for Development of Architectural Solutions for Houses under Renovation Program has Started

30 November 2020

We have started accepting applications for participation in an international competition for the development of architectural solutions for renovation houses. It is planned to sum up the results at the end of April 2021. This was announced today at a press conference by Chief Architect of Moscow Sergey Kuznetsov. 

The competition was initiated by the Moskomarkhitektura and organized by Genplan Institute of Moscow. Its goal is to create a high-quality urban environment and create an attractive appearance of residential buildings in the capital.

“We plan to select the best architectural solutions for the renovation quarters. The idea is that each district has its own recognizable face, some kind of architectural targeting, so that within each district, each house is also individual. We want to get away from typical buildings as much as possible, when we have many identical houses and this obviously lowers the quality of the urban environment. We hope that with the help of the renovation program we will not only provide people with new square meters of housing. We are also creating an absolutely new quality of the environment, so that the benefits of the program are felt not only by its participants, but also by people who simply live in these areas," explained Mr. Kuznetsov.

Eighty-nine projects of territorial planning under the renovation program were combined into 31 lots. Each bidder will be asked to develop a concept for one or more lots. There will be 93 concepts in total - three for each lot. 

Russian and international specialists are invited to participate in the competition as part of consortia (creative associations) who have similar projects in their portfolios, and have the relevant competencies. 

“The open international competition will be held in two stages. Teams can apply to participate in the competition from November 24 to December 24, 2020. Each team can receive for development several sites out of the 31 that proposed, and develop concepts for each site. Which sites will go to the contestants, and how many of them, will be determined by the expert council of the competition. The summarizing of the results is scheduled for April," said Tatiana Guk, director of Genplan Institute of Moscow.  

According to her, the two-stage scheme is valuable because it allows a large number of specialists to take part in the competition. At the first stage, the jury will be able to see and evaluate not only the portfolio of the contestants, but also the ideas they offer to the city. Young teams will be able to present their ideas to the jury and will have the opportunity to further prove themselves.

The jury and expert council include representatives of the public and authorities, experts in the field of architecture, economics, marketing, real estate and urban planning.

To participate, you must fill out the form on the official website of the competition http://thefaceofrenovation.ru, as well as send an album made up in accordance with the terms of the competition to the email address: сontest@genplanmos.ru.
