Building: Moscow School of Management
Location: Skolkovo, Moscow Oblast, Russia
Completed: 2010
Architect: Adjaye Associates
Manufacturers: Anwo, Alucobond

AE Interests: The central structure is a poured-in-place concrete disc 475 feet in diameter. A group of buildings stand above the disc. Of these, the Wellbeing Centre occupies a pivotal position in anchoring the disc to the sloping ground. The Wellbeing Centre is supported by the same structural grid as that of the disc, whilst the residential buildings are designed as bridge structures. Each of them is supported on two towers that cause minimum disruption as they pass through the disc to the ground.

AE Interests: The architecture of the academy needed to be a confluence of modern adaptations of traditional Indo-Islamic architectural elements and passive cooling strategies prevalent in the hot-dry desert climate of Rajasthan, such as open courtyards, water body, a step-well or baoli and jaalis (perforated stone screen).  The entire building is raised above the ground and a scooped out under belly forms a natural thermal sink which is cooled by water bodies through evaporative cooling.

AE Interest:

It is going to be Quito’s tallest building at 33 stories. It is constructed by stacking concrete modules which are rotated to offer a wider view range. It has large vertical gardens which are designed to grow trees which later can be moved to other parts of the city, it is intented to be an urban tree farm.

[1, 2, 3 (video)]

AE Interest:

“On a prime corner site overlooking La Carolina Park in Quito, the 24-story tower features vertically stacked dwellings with units staggered in and out. The fractalized tower profile creates generous landscaped terraces on each level, with operable glass walls that merge indoor and outdoor living to take full advantage of Quito’s year-round temperate weather.”

“The building profile steps back to reveal a “hill side” of terraces, and also steps forward to create a “cliff face”. The arrangement in section of projecting terraces provides natural shading from the sun. As the building steps in and out, generous double height landscaped terraces are created on each level.”

[1, 2, 3 (video)]

AE Interest:

“Aquarela includes nine residential stone-cladded blocks. Ateliers Jean Nouvel imagined an approach that could mimic the context, with curved balconies wrapping the intervention, overfilled with greenery. These rocky gardens connect the residents to the natural outdoors and strengthen the integration of the building.”

[1, 2, 3, 4]

AE Interest: “To reduce running costs, the hall is unheated and lit primarily through daylight while the building’s surface area has been minimized through its dome shape … Wide gates open to the outside connecting the surrounding skate park with the inside floor, creating a seamless flow … StreetDome forms one continuous and varied spatial course …”

Due to strength of structural integrity of the dome, interior load-bearing structures are not needed, freeing up space for any particular sporting arrangement.

Similar to other skateparks but atypical of traditional structures, community input was highly requested and directly influenced construction. 

[1, 2, 3 (video)]

AE Interest: Certified LEED Gold, Northwest Project of the Year.

“The new complex contains three pavilions – a Village House, Garden House and Tea House – made of steel and glass … The buildings are wrapped with wood battens and topped with overhanging, tiered roofs that recall pagodas.”
