CONTENTS |

The arrival of September is the beginning of a new season, which sees new plans, changes and im-provements. In the new issue of Mos-Build Magazine, we develop our ideas and projects, so this issue is an organ-ic extension of the previous one.

There is a wide range of ma-terials in the magazine: articles for reflection, for enriching experi-ence and for discussion. The useful and current information contained in the issue will be interesting to a wide readership, offering opportu-nities for greater creative activities and effective cooperation.

The issue focuses on the inter-national trends in 2013-2014 that have emerged in construction, ar-chitecture, design and decor.

The “Unusually” trend com-bines unusual properties and func-tions in conventional structures and materials, and demonstrates the amazing possibilities of protec-

tive glass, light transmitting con-crete, facades that breathe and doors that are not visible.

All the personalities featured in this issue are unconventional and rather extraordinary people.

The winners of the annual in-ternational red dot design awards and Golden Compass, whose works are published in the magazine, rep-resent the best in creative design. In the industrial society it is be-coming more popular not only to find an exclusive, functional and aesthetic form, but also to present it to the world under a brand name.

In line with this trend, the mag-azine presents just such a project: a unique five-star hotel with a re-constructed facade and new interi-ors, designed by Foster + Partners.

We hope you enjoy reading our magazine and please feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions and expe-riences with us. We welcome letters.

The trend known as “Unusually” combines unusual properties and functions in traditional structures and materials.

ARCHITECTUREModern architecture should not simply provide a roof over one’s head, but also be comfortable, light, and use natural resources efficiently. Today, technological innovations are enabling architects to increasingly choose glass as a building material. Glass is valued for its ability to, on the one hand, offer protection from environmental effects and, on the other, to unite an interior space, filling it with sunlight and increasing the sense of space.

LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE A new public library has opened in the centre of the Dutch city of Spi-jkenisse. The shape of the library is reminiscent of a classic Dutch farm, referring to the agrarian past of the city. The project includes a number of rooms "folded" into the founda-tion for platforms with bookshelves. The platforms in the shape of a pyr-amid are in the centre of the library’s main hall, creating a real “moun-tain of books”, protected by an un-usual glass case. The design com-munity highly rates the work of the MVRDV studio, the creators of the library project. In 2013, the project was awarded a red dot design award.

GLASS PARASOLGlass dominates in the architec-ture of one of the largest business schools in Europe, BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo. The build-ing of glass lets in lots of sunlight, and on the top two floors there are panoramic windows overlooking the Norwegian capital. The space be-tween the buildings is transformed into a closed gallery with a glass roof and completely transparent walls. This architectural parasol unites the business school build-ings in a single complex, facilitating movement between the buildings.

GREEN OFFICEThe energy-efficient Galeo office complex by the architect Christian de Portzampar was built near Par-is. The complex consists of three buildings, one of which has an en-ergy-efficient architectural de-sign. The load-bearing facade of the building is lined with zinc and on the outside covered with a dou-ble layer of glass plates from AGS Glass. The structure complete-ly isolates the interior space from the outside, significantly reducing energy costs for air conditioning in the offices. There are also weath-er and motion sensors in the office that control lighting and blinds de-pending on time of day, sunlight and presence of people. The num-ber of partitions and supports is kept to a minimum, allowing sun-light to easily reach the internal space, which leads to energy sav-ings. The hot water for the restau-rant located in the complex is heat-ed by solar panels. Thanks to the green technology, the Galeo com-plex consumes 20 % less energy than required by French standards.

“LIVING” FACADES AT THE TRETYAKOV GALLERY

SPEECH architectural studio has won the contest to design the new building of the State Tretyakov Gal-lery, which will house restorers, additional exhibitions and store rooms. The contest was announced by the Moscow Architecture Com-mittee. The project is being super-vised by the board of trustees of the Tretyakov Gallery, and the chief ar-chitect of Moscow, Sergei Kuznet-sov. Acting as an expert is Andrei Bokov, head of Mosproekt 4 and the project creator of the new mu-seum complex of the State Tretya-kov Gallery. The winning concept fully meets the needs of the Tretya-kov Gallery and conforms to the im-age of a museum of the new millen-nium, embodying modern styling while creating an association with the existing building.

The results have been announced of the competition for the facade concept development of the new museum complex at the State Tretyakov Gallery.

SYMBIOSIS IN HIGH-TECH STYLEThe Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa is known as a philosopher and founder of metabolism in architecture, and is the author of more than a hundred books, as well as the architect of many projects worldwide. His architectural style is unique. Japanese colleagues call him “sensei”, which translated means “teacher”.

13

PERSON l ARCHITECTURE

Kurokawa formulated the concept of metabolism in architecture, according to which cities and in-dividual buildings should not ossify in their origi-nal form, but, on the contrary, develop with their

surroundings. Over time, Kurokawa perfected this the-ory, extending it to symbiosis – the organic interac-tion and mutually beneficial co-existence of nature and cities. In 1987, the architect outlined his philosophical views in the book “The Philosophy of Symbiosis”, for which he later received an important Japanese literary award, one of many he has been awarded. Kurokawa’s projects have received many awards, not only in Japan but also in the UK, France, China and the United States.

According to Eastern philosophy, a concept is on-ly living when it is backed up by real actions. The the-ory of metabolism in architecture is brought to life in the Nakagin Capsule Tower, which has become a sym-bol of the architecture of its time and joined the list of the world’s architectural heritage.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower has two rod-like cores, to which 140 ready-made capsule apartments are at-tached, forming adjoining towers of 11 and 13 floors. Each capsule, which measures 10 m², functions as a complete apartment or office. The space has a wall panel with TV, radio and alarm clock, a minimalist kitchen, bathroom and bed under a large round win-dow. Each capsule is connected to the core by four high-tension bolts. The capsules were made at a fac-tory and taken to the building site, where they were fastened to the core shaft.

The project embodies the concept of metabolism in architecture: the capsules can easily be replaced and the existing blocks can be joined to create a larg-er space. According to the architect’s original idea, the

Kisho Kurokawa (1934 – 2007) was born in the city of Nagoya in Japan. He graduated from Kyoto University in 1957 and in 1964 completed his PhD studies at the Graduate School of Tokyo University under Kenzo Tange. In 1962, he established Kisho Kurokawa Architect & Associates, which now has offices in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kuala Lumpur and St. Petersburg.Kisho Kurokawa: Academician, Japan Art Academy; Life Fellow, Architectural Institute of Japan; Honorary Fellow, Royal Society of Arts (UK); Honorary Fellow, American Institute of Architects (USA).

capsules should be replaced by more modern versions every 25 years, although no replacements have been made in the past 41 years. The classic design of the tower is eternal, but today the Tokyo authorities must address the issue of how to preserve the building’s concept, while at the same time modernising the Nak-agin Tower Capsule.

In the nineties, Kisho Kurokawa became one of the founders of high-tech architecture, with buildings such as Wheelock Place in Singapore and Oita Stadium in Japan, which hosted the World Cup in 2002.

Oita became the Japan’s first Olympic format sta-dium with a closing roof. The size of the field is 105 x 68 m, and the stadium seats 43,000 people. Owing to its shape, the arena gained a nickname: the Big Eye.

In this same period, Kurokawa created one of his most famous buildings, Kuala Lumpur Internation-al Airport in Malaysia. The building is an example of the progressive ideas of architectural metabolism: the airport adapts to its inhabitants. In Kuala Lumpur In-ternational Airport there are high-speed lifts, mov-ing walkways, and a driverless airport train, but with plenty of greenery and light penetrating through the building, which has numerous glass facades. Also this is an example of showing the method of Abstract sym-bolism; the symbiosis between cutting-edge technol-ogy and Islamic tradition.

Kisho Kurokawa and has also completed many projects in his own country, Japan. One of his most re-cent buildings was the National Art Centre in Tokyo.

An unusual “glass wave” forms the facade of the building, making it immediately eye-catching. The cen-tre has seven halls, the area of each of which is 2000 m², and there are no additional supporting columns in

any of the halls. The centre also houses a library, lec-ture room, restaurant, cafe and shop.

The first floor of the National Art Centre is 13,000 m², and total floor area is 50,000 m², making it the largest museum in Japan. In the atrium are two inverted cones, the upper part of which house a restaurant and cafe.

The building features an unusual solution to pro-tect the exhibits and visitors from direct sunlight: out-er horizontal glass louvers intercept UV light through-out the day and control the sunlight by combination of inside vertical mullion.

Kisho Kurokawa’s experience and innovation have also attracted customers from Russia, where the archi-tect was invited to design the Zenit stadium on Kresto-

”

vsky Island in St. Petersburg. The stadium should be one of the key venues for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The project was approved in 2006, having im-pressed the Commission with its symbiotic combina-tion of high technology and respect for the environ-ment and architecture of St. Petersburg. The stadium – which features a movable field system and retract-able roof with hot air-inflated membrane structure – will accommodate 67,000 people and fit seamlessly into the historical appearance of Krestovsky Island. Given the extensive area of the air conditioned space, the originality of the design and the multitude of func-tions, the Zenit stadium promises to be the northern-most elite stadium n the world.

”Oita became Japan’s first Olympic format stadium with a closing roof. The size of the field is 105x68 m, and the stadium seats 43,000 people. Owing to its shape, the arena gained a nickname: the Big Eye.

Construction of the stadium was due to be com-pleted in 2011, but whenever it is finally finished, the architect will sadly not see it. Today the stadium needs a new mastermind, who, like Kurokawa, treats rever-ently not only his own project, but also the architec-tural face of St. Petersburg.

Kisho Kurokawa will be remembered by the world for his attempt to find a balance between nature and man, and for embodying it in architecture. Building on the tra-ditions of Japan and using unique living forms and new materials, he worked for the future of global construc-tion, providing architectural examples of harmonious in-teraction between the world of nature and man-made fruits of civilisation. His works will be specially men-tioned as rare examples reflected and made symbiosis between the culture and society of the country.

The British architect Zaha Hadid has created a master plan for wave-like complex in the cap-ital of Serbia. Zaha Hadid Architects have pro-posed a flowing design for the reconstruction

of Beko, an abandoned textile factory in Belgrade. Ac-cording to the Beko Masterplan project, on the site of the former factory a multifunctional complex will be built. The complex will include residential apartments, shops, cafes, offices, a convention centre, five-star ho-tel and underground parking. The new Beko complex will occupy about 94,000 m².

The site is located in the heart of the city, by the walls of Belgrade’s fortress. An important task for the architect in this project was to preserve the historical landscape. The masterplan by Zaha Hadid Architects takes into account the region’s strong modernist tra-ditions and continues its development in this style. The

futuristic Beko complex not only blends seamlessly into the landscape at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, but is also integrated with the transport system and other infrastructure of the Serbian capital.

The large-scale complex consists of buildings of different heights, shapes and areas. The buildings flow into one another, creating a single structure that com-bines harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The project also provides green spaces, which are much needed in this former industrial quarter.

One of the most important design features of the project is the undulating ground scrape, which pro-vides a link between the floors and makes it easier to navigate through the complex.

The Beko Masterplan offers an innovative ap-proach to the functional zoning of the site: the archi-tects have sought to erase the boundaries between the elements of the complex. The Beko interior is a se-ries of connecting rooms that have no clear limits. This approach not only visually increases the space, but al-so expands the possibilities of its use.

The undulating topography of the site offers addition-al advantages: beautiful views towards the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, the Kalemegdan Castle, and, internally, to the other buildings of the complex.

The flowing architecture, which has become a hall-mark of Zaha Hadid, helps the Beko multifunctional complex to blend in with the existing buildings, giving lightness and variety to the renewed urban landscape.

A FACADE AS A BUILDING’S BUSINESS CARD

The CROCODILE system by ZER-RINGER allows you to mount met-al panels (cassettes) of any struc-ture, composite or all-metal. Laboratory tests and practice have shown that quick-mount profiles offer not only easy assembly, but also improved strength in the pan-el surface. The CROCODILE system has several options to reduce the number of vertical columns. First-ly, the option of mounting panels of different widths, wherein the num-ber of vertical columns is not relat-ed to the width of the material; and

Light transmitting concrete, tempered glass, metal and composite panels - the facades of buildings today are made from the most modern materials. The evolution of technology allows us to make facade cladding more durable and easy to install, and opens up new architectural possibilities.

secondly using different types of mounting profiles (ZSS-13, ZSS-14, U-1, U-2) that provide stable re-sistance to both vertical and hor-izontal loads, even with a signifi-cant distance between the vertical supports. CROCODILE quick-mount profiles provide an even surface, and enable diagonal assembly of panels and their attachment to vertical rails, and the dismantling of the panel directly in the centre of the facade.

22

CONSTRUCTION | TECHNOLOGY

U-KON SYSTEMS is preparing to present its unique developments at MosBuild Fenestration 2014. One of them is a solution for mounting on ventilated facades cladding panels of tempered glass or photovolta-ic modules. The cladding panels are ready-made cassettes consisting of a frame and flat tempered glass or photovoltaic module inside.

ALUTECH ALT F50 TX “hot-cold” facade system. The “hot-cold” fa-cade system is intended for the glaz-ing of buildings, where it is necessary to combine the translucent and in-sulating part of the facade with the cold part of a blank wall. The trans-lucent part does not exceed 30-40% of the total area of the facade. The use of a standard rack and pinion system in such cases is not practical, because the size of the blank part of the building is much larger than the area of the translucent part, and the transition from blank part to translu-

cent requires labour-intensive ther-mal and hydro insulation operations. The difference in the cost of materi-als using the ALT F50 TX can range from 15 % to 30 % cheaper, depend-ing on the area of the cold zone. The TX F50 ALT is a completely new sys-tem, although based on the profiles of ALT F50 facade system. The similari-ty of the designs will help you to eas-ily make changes to the project even while performing installation work. The ALT F50 TX employs unique so-lutions that will save you money and time in many of your projects.

TRANSLUCENT CONCRETEGerman researchers have offered a truly unique innovative design for con-struction: translucent or, more pre-cisely, light transmitting concrete. Lu-cem has already announced the start of production of the new material and the launch of the new development in the construction market. The light transmitting blocks are made of fine-grained concrete with optical fibre, which allows the unusual effect to be achieved. The light transmitting con-crete looks very light, almost weight-less. In addition, according to experts, the concrete is no different from ordi-nary concrete: it is just as strong and durable. The concrete panels can be connected to a lighting control sys-tem with the help of modern comput-er technology. The system allows you to control more than 16 million colours, turning the usual facade of a building into a huge screen for a spectacular light show. According to the develop-ers of the product, the introduction of innovative translucent concrete blocks in the construction market will provide an opportunity to expand the possibili-ties of modern design and architecture.

We invite you to visit our stand at MosBuild 2014. The stand will be located in the outdoor area between Pavilion No. 1 and F. We will present the mini crane models MAEDA MC285CRME-2 and MC405CRME, as well as vacuum lifters for glass and sandwich panels from the German manufacturer Wirth GmbH.

MAEDA’s ultra-compact mini cranes on rubber tracks are very popular all over the world thanks to their unique small size, wide range of technical char-acteristics and exceptional reliability.

Due to their small weight and dimensions, the cranes are often used on the roofs or intermediate floors of buildings, in the glazing of buildings, in form-work and in other load-lifting work in confined spac-es, while the hook can descend up to 103m. In the mi-ni crane line there are models with hydraulic supports, without supports, and equipped with a diesel engine or an electric motor with three-phase 380V power sup-ply. The capacity of the cranes is from 0.99 to 6 tons; some models are able to move around with a load of up to 2 tons.

It would seem that home insulation is a concern for people in northern countries. But if we look at the traditional houses of people from southern regions, we can see that a comfortable temperature inside the home was achieved through good thermal insulation. Today, the appearance of buildings and their construction technology have changed considerably, but the problem of protecting them from the heat remains.

A HEAT RESISTANT HOUSE IN DETAIL

READ MORE

In residential buildings in southern Europe heat insulation reduces energy consumption for cooling and is the most cost effec-tive method of providing comfort, more than air conditioning. Insu-lation of floors, walls and roofs, in combination with appropriate glaz-ing and ventilation, leads to a sig-nificant reduction in the cost of heating and cooling the building.

Global construction experience shows that to protect from the summer heat the following are ex-tremely important: layout and cor-rect orientation of the building, se-lection of translucent structures, thermal insulation of the roof, walls and floors, and good ventilation.

By positioning the building fa-cades with the largest area paral-lel to the line of incidence of sun-light in the hot season, you can reduce by several times the flow of solar radiation to these facades and, accordingly, their heat. It is appropriate to include so-called heat zones - verandas, canopies and sunshields - which reduce heat input by approximately 35 %.

Today, in many countries, a large proportion of windows sales are not double glazing, but triple. Energy saving glass with heat re-flecting coating, reflectors (mirror-plated) or reflective film is increas-ing used. Modern double-glazed windows are often filled with inert gas (usually argon), as this increas-es the resistance coefficient of heat transfer by approximately 10-14 %.

Separately, thermal insulation of walls, roofs and floors is neces-sary: through these structures is the main part of the heat exchange with the environment.

In the selection of such a mate-rial, of course, pay attention to its insulating properties. It is desirable that the thermal conductivity does not exceed 0.05 w/m k (the smaller

the number the better). Other im-portant properties include incom-bustibility, safety for people and the environment, and service life.

It makes most sense to use specialised products for particu-lar facade types. ROCKWOOL of-fers VENTI BATTS stone wall slabs for ventilated facades and FACADE BATTS for plaster facades. For use in ventilated facades, it is impor-tant that the slabs are resistant to vertical shrinkage, and that there is no convective flow of air inside the insulation. For plaster facades, these things are unimportant, but you do need resistance to “tearing away” stresses.

There are also specialised products for various types of rood insulation. For pitched roofs ROCK-WOOL LIGHT BATTS SCANDIC slabs are suitable, as they offer “flexy” technology. With these slabs the edge compress, making them eas-ily and quickly inserted between the rafters, and then straightened, without the formation of cracks.

As is known, floors are laid in different ways; therefore, insula-tion should be chosen in accordance with the design. When laying floors on logs the insulation is placed be-tween them and is not subjected to loads, so in this case you can use light slab of non-combustible ma-terial (LIGHT BATTS SCANDIC, or ACOUSTIC BATTS, which features particularly high sound insulation properties). If you are using dry or wet screed, rigid slabs should be used (ROCKWOOL FLOOR BATTS).

In hot countries good heat in-sulation is just as necessary to en-sure a comfortable indoor climate as in colder regions. Therefore, the use of the most modern, high qual-ity materials and technologies will help reduce operating costs and provide reliable, comfortable ac-commodation.

THE MODERN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY PASSIVE

HOUSE According to the National Agency for Low-Rise and Cottage Construction, to heat one square metre of housing in Russia an average of 13 litres of fuel is consumed per year. In Canada, which has similar weather conditions to Russia, the figure is 3.5-4 litres per year. The energy saving potential in construction and public utilities alone is at least 400 million tonnes of standard fuel per year, or 30-40 % of the country’s total energy consumption.

“Our country has adopted a number of laws and oth-er documents that promote the development of ener-gy-efficient technologies,” said Alexander Elokhov, di-rector of the Russian Passive House Institute, in an interview. “However, sometimes their implementation has been hampered by a lack of experience. And curi-osity emerges from implemented projects. For example, federal and regional officials are interested in passive house project in Europe. Many have visited Germany and other countries, and seen projects that they liked. But when it comes to the issue of fulfilling a plan, they say that need to understand that it is justified econom-ically, they need the figures and to know specifically how the existing project works. Today we are just try-ing to create a community of people that are interested in this. We work with designers, architects and manu-facturers, while architects and designers work direct-ly with customers, awaking their interest and start-

ing to implement projects. Of course, you need to go to the ministries, to officials, and to work with differ-ent associations. When there are groups of interested people, and a number of implemented objects, it makes things easier. And we are now engaged in the develop-ment and execution of projects. Obviously we also want to create an association, but at the moment we have sufficient internal resources. There is also knowledge and experience sharing. For example, within MosBuild, in conjunction with the organisers, we successful-ly conduct a two-day international conference enti-tled “Technologies for the Design and Construction of Energy-Efficient Buildings (Passive House)”. Successful innovations open up more opportunities for further building of energy-efficient houses in Russia.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUILD ENERGY-EFFICIENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN RUSSIA?

If you look at the long-term and highly successful experience of Western countries, then in modern con-struction, in terms of the level of energy consumption of finished projects, there are the following types of build-ings: standard, averagely efficient, passive and active.

Let’s consider the features of passive – i.e., low consumption – houses, and find out what Russian builders and materials developers are currently offer-ing the property market.

There are different ways to save energy. One of the most effective ways to increase energy efficiency is to use modern energy-saving technologies. An efficient and proven solution to this problem is offered by Mosstroy-31, which in cooperation with German experts and architects from the Passive House Institute, already has experience in realising such projects, with their subsequent certifi-cation according to European standards. “Housing must be affordable to operate, and this can be achieved by us-ing energy-efficient technologies,” says Mosstroy-31 CEO Shota Khabelašvili. “Our company is always interested in energy-saving issues, we support and promote all the in-novative technologies that help save the country’s ener-

gy resources. We believe that energy-saving technologies should be up-to-date at all times and for all countries.”

Specialists from BASF Group are conducting re-search in this area. The innovative developments of BASF in materials and technologies are focused on creating the main components of passive houses.

For innovative thermal insulation of facades Neo-por® is used, a material made from expandable poly-styrene (EPS). Another product is extruded polysty-rene foam, Styrodur® C, which is hard, and resistant to compression and water. In addition to the the multilay-er outer thermal insulation ETICS, which uses Neopor® expandable polystyrene and elements of formwork from Styrodur® C, there are a number of new design so-lutions popular in the construction of passive buildings.

These include decorative sound-absorbing ele-ments made from Basotect® expandable polystyrene, a lightweight, fire-resistant and easy to handle mate-rial, as well as solar collectors, for the thermal insu-lation of which Basotect is used. Even under high tem-peratures Basotect® maintains good heat insulating capability for a long time. In addition, this solution has a positive effect on air exchange processes in the col-lector under various climatic conditions.

At the start of the 21st century the Russian econo-my is characterised by extremely high energy consump-tion, 2-3 times more than the energy consumption of the developed economies. For comparison: based on published data the specific energy consumption of the gross domestic product in Russia in 2010 was 1290 kg of standard fuel per $1000, while globally the average was 443 kg. However, during the significant economic down-turn, the consumption of electricity and heat fell slight-ly. This is largely due to the increase of heat and ener-gy consumption in the residential sector. Unfortunately, this process is not so much due to growth in housing stock, but rather to the increasing loss of thermal ener-gy resources in housing and public utility networks. Giv-en all this, it becomes clear how important it is for the country to improve the performance of buildings and to reduce energy consumption in homes.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT OFFICEВсе чаще при строительстве In-creasingly, energy-efficient tech-nology is used in the construc-tion of office buildings in Europe. The Elithis Tower in Dijon (France) produces more energy than it con-sumes. The architects, Arte Char-pentier Architects, placed 330 so-lar panels on the roof and the facade of the ten-storey office cen-tre. The electricity they generate is enough for the lighting, heating and air conditioning of 54,000 sq m.

AN OFFICE IN MELBOURNE WITHOUT CARBONToday, from pixels you can create not only a picture, but also an actu-al building. This is the case in Mel-bourne (Australia), where the con-struction of the Pixel Building was recently completed. The project is based on the use of renewable en-ergy. “Green protection” is plant-ed along the “pixel” windows with special window sills, which neu-tralises the emissions of carbon di-oxide. And on the roof of the tower are wind turbines and solar pan-els to generate electricity, as well as special tanks to collect rainwa-ter. The Pixel Building project was awarded a perfect “green system” score; indeed, one of the achieve-ments of the architects was to achieve carbon neutrality.

The world has already recognised that in order to maintain a balance in the world, there is no alternative but to effectively manage the Earth’s resources. Modern building technologies allow architectural projects not only to save natural resources, but also to independently generate them. Worldwide, buildings are being constructed that employ the most original eco-solutions.

OLYMPIC ECO-TECHNOLOGYFor the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), it is planned to build a tower that will provide elec-tricity to the Olympic village and be an impressive spectacle for tour-ists. The project, put forward by RAFAA Architecture and Design, proposes equipping the tower set of solar panels that will generate energy during the day. This ener-gy should be enough to pump wa-ter to giant reservoirs on the up-per floors of the tower. The water will drop down to form a pictur-esque waterfall and simultaneous-ly producing electricity at night. It will also be possible to enjoy pano-ramic views of the Ocean coast and artificial waterfall from the obser-vation deck on the top floor of the tower. Nearby will be a restaurant and shopping centre.

TRANSPARENT “SWALLOW'S NEST”The Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, known for his eco-pro-jects, has designed a shopping and entertainment centre for the city of Taichung (Taiwan). The complex is called Swallow's Nest. At the base of the glass structure is an ellipti-cal Mobius strip of triangles rotat-ed 80 times around the axis. The pillars that support the Swallow's Nest go under the earth, where they form underground floors with cafes and shops, workshops and archives, parking lots and a protec-tion system against natural disas-ters. Thanks to the glass coverings of the underground floors, through which direct sunlight penetrates, energy consumption for lighting is significantly reduced.

GLAZING INNOVATIONS

Modern manufacturers of fire-resistant glass offer not only re-inforced float glass and tough-ened glass with special hardening parameters, but also multi-lay-ered fire-resistant glass with one or more hard interlayers, which ex-pand under the effects of fire.

One of the leading companies in the development and manufac-ture of protective glazing is the company Phototech. Their new original products and materials are based on the most advanced tech-nologies and are aimed at protect-ing the life and health of people.

“Our company was established in 1990 as a small business under the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, to accelerate the introduction of new technologies in industry,” says the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Phototech, A. Galashin. “Now our protective glazing is a translucent building structure based on fire-re-sistant, impact resistant, anti-shat-ter or bullet-proof composite glass. Also we produce structures with en-ergy-saving and electrically warming

double glazed windows. All the prod-ucts have certificates of conformity with Russian government standards. Many innovations are protected by patents of the Russian Federation. We constantly search for new possi-bilities and innovative solutions. Re-cent accomplishments include the production of fire resistant partitions and bent glass, and the use of smart glass in structures. Phototech in-cludes a design bureau and produc-tion units, owing to which we have been able to develop an original way of making fire-resistant aluminium profiles by filling their central cham-ber with various heat resistant and heat-absorbing compositions.”

KNOW-HOW. The essence of the method used lies in the reinforcement of the aluminium profile with a fire-re-sistant filling, such as steel pipe, with a thermal protective coating.

When exposed to flame the exter-nal aluminium profile and the thermal protective coating hamper unilater-al heating of the internal reinforce-ment tubes. The limited intensity of the heat flow on the on pipe reduces the temperature difference between

its walls and thus reduces the defor-mation of the structure under identi-cal thermal loads compared with de-formations of fire resistant steel pipe with no such protection.

Small bends in the unilateral heating profile lead to significant re-duction of mechanical loads on fire-proof glass. This allows you to install in the fire-prevention structures de-signed and manufactured by the company glass and glazing of over 2 m or glass of smaller thickness.

To ensure a higher limit of fire re-sistance, the steel pipe cavity can be filled with heat-absorbing materials.

Despite the fact that the alu-minum alloy melts and flows down from the heated surface of the structure in 20-25 minutes after the start of testing, the structure itself, depending on the filling, may have fire resistance over 90 minutes.

As a translucent filling, as a rule, Shield fire-resistant glazing pro-duced by Phototech is used, which is based on silicate glass and plas-tic adhesive compositions, which are characterised by excellent opti-cal properties and the ability when

exposed to high temperatures (150-300C) to foam with the formation of a thermal protective coke layer.

SMART GLASS. Electrochromic glass is becoming more popular in the translucent structures market. The secret of its success is that it can be either completely opaque or transparent in just a second. There is also the possibility of using any in-termediate version, thanks to grad-ual voltage. This effect is achieved by supplying voltage of 65V to a multilayered liquid crystal film, part of a triplex, as a consequence of which the liquid crystals obtain the desired spatial orientation, and the glass is optically transparent. Ener-gy consumption for such glass is ex-tremely small, and the service life is long. Smart glass can be of any size and colour, and can also be included in normal, fire-resistance and pro-tective glass.

FIRE DOORS. Tests were car-ried out recently at Russia’s FGU VNIIPO and the fire doors received a certificate of EI 60 fire resist-ance, and a fire safe structure with bent glass was prepared. The use

In accordance the progres-sive architectural requirements, it should be noted the tendency to re-duce the number of frames in the overall fire safe glazing.

The company has continued to release a number of new products that will delight ar-chitects and investors: a structur-al fire protective facade glazing, in-ternal fire safe frameless partitions, and a full range of stainless steel and brass products. In addition to providing fire resistance, the com-pany’s innovative developments in fire safe translucent structures of-fer architects and designers enor-mous opportunities for the facades of buildings and interiors.

3D-max design visualisation allows you to see the interior almost in actual form. It can be filled with real furniture collections and accessories.

The new interior design concept of the architect German Enin proposes an experimental space, with-out unnecessary details, instead of the usual office of a manufacturing company. The monochrome and re-fined office has been turned into an exhibition, where the product is the main feature of the office. The fea-ture in this case is the glass: tempered, multi-layered, flame-resistant, bent, with integrated LEDs, self-cleaning and smart glass with varying transparency. Enin’s idea, which is based on simplicity, is absolute-ly consistent with the business strategy of the client: “they came, saw and bought”.

MODERN DECOR TRADITIONS

"LITTLE GREEN" COLLECTION Little Green wallpapers (Great Britain) from Manders are the very embodiment of Country House style, but in a modern interpreta-tion by young artists. In addition, each of the eight samples has a historical prototype, and the tra-ditional English design is boldly combined with modern colours.

In the impressionism styleKT Exclusive offers Villa Sienna designer wallpaper, with a high-quality acrylic coating. The wallpa-pers in this collection have the lat-est quality components, such as a unique adhesive base, 3D materi-al for a special application of imag-es, and certified protective coating against mechanical damage, dust, moisture, abrasion and fading. The impressionistic style of rendering flowers by broad strokes makes the designs on Villa Sienna like an artist’s canvas.

Everything new is something old forgotten. Today, this idea, like never before, characterises wallpaper design. Designers are increasingly turning to classic patterns and historical prototypes. As for the production of these collections, the latest manufacturing technology is being used.

With the new LOYMINA CLASSIC vol.II collection, you will be able to create the most unexpected and exciting mood var-iations in your home.

FLOWERS OF THE CHAMPAGNE REGION CHAMPAGNE FLORALS is an ex-quisite collection of wallpaper with floral motifs in the Provence style from the famous American design-er Jonathan Caldwell, created for KT Exclusive. These premium wall-papers are made in the U.S. on high quality heavy paper. For the print-ing only environmentally friend-ly water-based paints are used, in addition to metal and exclusive pigments, iridescent colours, and paints with holographic effects that overlap with many layers, up to 11 colours on one type of wallpaper.

CLAUDE MONET IN YOUR HOMEThis year, SIRPI released a new wallpaper collection, MUROGRO IM-PRESSION, which can fill any space with an atmosphere of romance and give it elegance and gentility. The new collection combines fine art and technology. The wallpaper in-terprets great works of Impression-ism: two paintings by Claude Mon-et. The texture of the canvas is full of rich vibrant colours and shades, and creates an imitation of modern frescoes in the size 136 x 300 cm. Li-censes were obtained for the use of both works by Claude Monet. SIRPI, as one of the leading manufacturers of wallpaper and wall coverings, has gained a reputation for innovative products that reflect unique Italian style and high quality standards.

A PATENTED UNIQUE DESIGNThe use of one frame for open-ing a door by pulling or pushing. The opening side of the leaf can be chosen at the construction site with the already fitted frame, resulting, in both cases, in a per-fectly flush door that is easy to install. The same frame is used on both drywall and brick walls.

CONCEALED DOORS: SECRET COLLECTION

CONCEALED TECHNOLOGYThe invisible hinges already mount-ed on the door leaf are adjustable along three axes. There is a fourth setting with which, by tightening or loosening the frame screws, you can improve the fit of the door, making it perfectly flush. The gap between the door leaf and frame is minimised thanks to the exceptionally snug fit, and sound insulation is achieved by the use of foam rubber seal.

ENDLESS CHOICE OF FINISHUnfinished, the doors are covered with primer varnish for further finish-ing at the construction site with the same finish as the wall (wallpaper, decorative plaster, etc.). Varnish-ing is available in all RAL colours. Paneled doors can be supplied in all types of veneer offered by Barausse with the Vero Legno® certificate.

BARAUSSE has 17 innovative industrial patents for door leafs, frames and fittings, which transform the interior detail into an object of modern technology.

The new five-star hotel Me London has opened in the heart of the UK capital. The 1920s building, which has been fully renovated by the Foster + Partners studio, contains rooms, apartments and a luxury penthouse with panoramic views.

The hotel’s location in the centre of London, close to the River Thames and Trafalgar Square, made it necessary to preserve the building’s exterior, which is the historic part of the hotel.

The shape and exterior of Me London echo the building next door, Marconi House, which is built in Edwardian style. The hotel’s windows are shaped like traditional prismatic “lamps”, and the facade is faced with slabs of Portland stone, a material that is typical for central London. The core of the ten-storey building is a corner tower topped by a glass dome. By its base is the build-ing’s main entrance.

Reserved on the outside, the hotel is luxuriously finished on the inside, in line with its five-star rating. The rich interior is done in a minimalist style based on the yin and yang principle, with a contrasting combina-tion of white and black colours.

An atrium in the form of a hollow pyramid, with a small window above, serves as the main hall in the ho-tel. The design of the space contrasts the snow-white marble on the walls with the black on the floor. The furniture, which is in the same colour scheme and rec-tangular or round in shape, clearly demonstrates the combination of yin and yang in the interior. But the strongest impression is created by a play of light: a pattern of geometric shapes appears on the walls.

The interiors of the rooms are also decorated in light colours to contrast with the corridors of black marble with diffuse lighting. The effect achieved is that on entering or leaving the hotel the guests feel that they are moving from darkness to light.

Most of the public areas in Me London are finished in more varied colours. Shades of ochre predominate in the lobby. The bar, chandeliers, carpets, chairs and sofas in the lobby have a soft, streamlined form. The space is zoned using partitions.

The restaurant has a similar interior design. Shades of ochre are interspersed with rich chocolate and black colours. The interior is given added variety by LED lighting that can fill the space with new colour. The highlight of the restaurant is the unusually shaped chandelier. Seating for guests around the small tables is provided by chairs and round sofas. This arrange-ment creates an isolated island, allowing the guests to enjoy an intimate atmosphere.

In the bar, the Foster studio has combined textures of natural stone and wood. The marble floor contrasts with the board ceiling, and the furniture is again dom-inated by smooth lines.

The glass dome at the top of the tower is occupied by a two-story penthouse and by a bar with a terrace, which offers dizzying views of the centre of the British capital. The terrace is divided into two parts. One is furnished with round black and white chairs with tiny tables and heaters, and the other features lightly col-oured rectangular sofas and wicker tables, which give the interior the coziness of a country house.

The rooms are decorated in a monochrome light palette. The minimalistic colours are more than com-pensated for by the rich textures of the luxurious nat-ural fabrics and interior finishing materials. Natural leather, black varnished wood and onyx are used in the interiors of Me London.

The hotel’s trump card is the penthouse in a glass dome with panoramic windows providing a 360-degree view. The view from the top is, perhaps, the main ele-ment of the interior.

Norman Foster, the Founder and Chairman of Fos-ters + Partners, is a life peer and was appointed by the Queen to the Order of Merit in 1997. In 1999 he became the twenty-first Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate. Lord Foster has repeatedly proven his ability to com-bine tradition and innovation. When designing a new project, he always takes into account the individuali-ty of the architectural environment. Explaining his ap-proach, Lord Foster says: “My mission is to create a structure that is sensitive to the culture and climate of its place”.

By providing a new interior inside a traditional exterior, Me London will reinvigorate London, while maintaining its traditions. Buildings like Me London are needed to restore the West End to its former glory.

Design has ceased to be abstract projects for the elite. In everyday life we are surrounded by furnishings, decorative materials, appliances - all products of industrial design, and each of them has a designer. Collections of modern design classics are changing the look of familiar objects and creating our future.

For Graham & Brown Wanders has created an elite wallpaper collec-tion called Couture, which includes classic prints and unusual colour so-lutions. For interiors there are eight combinations of neutral and bright colours. For example, Isabella prints combine a soft pink pattern with a background colour of coal.

All the wallpapers are made on special Graham & Brown paper, which has a matt finish with metallic and glossy trims. The collection comprises single-layered and multilayered papers, Simplex and Duplex respective-ly. The complex structure of the latter allows you to see the depth of the pattern, and provides surprising optical effects. Duplex has an additional coating that protects the paper from external influences. Several of the designs by Marcel Wanders have been made using a special method of applying paint to the base, resulting in an embossed effect.

Graham & Brown also produce the Couture wallpaper range, with a sound and heat insulating layer. This makes the collection not only beau-tiful but also very practical.

DEPTH OF WALLPAPERThe Dutch designer Marcel Wanders is known for his versatile solutions. Be it creating interiors or carpet, tile or wallpaper collections, he mixes eras, giving a classic look to modern objects and a sense of history.

Creating non-existent model of world brands and publishing them on the Internet is, it turns out, the shortest route to fame. This is exact-ly what the French innovator Ora Ito did, and in the process became very much in demand in the world of design. Today he creates models of pre-sent and future goods for leading manufacturers worldwide.

Together with the German company Parador, Ito created a collection of contemporary laminate, Edition1. The unusually bright colour solution of the products has no effect on their durability. The flooring is impreg-nated with the moisture-resistant coating AquaProof and equipped with a sound insulating composite underlay called Akustic. The laminate is made of wood and eco-friendly resins, giving an antistatic surface. The Edition 1 collection is suitable for retail and office spaces, but looks es-pecially effective in high tech style interiors.

From designing laminate to carpeting. The Parquet Rug module collection imitates the parts of parquet, bringing together asymmetric modules of dif-ferent thicknesses and textures. The products are made of 100% wool scraps. The colour range includes anthracite, green, blue, purple and red shades. From the modules it is easy to assemble carpeting of the necessary shape and

shade. If necessary, part of the carpet can be replaced or assembled again, refreshing the interior design. ITO created the Parquet Rug collection for the Turkish company Stepevi, whose manufacturing traditions date back to 1919. The focus on natural materials and innovative form has proved successful, and today carpets assembled from Parquet Rug modules grace many interiors.

The most comprehensive project by Ora Ito has been a monolithic kitch-en for the company Gorenje. The kitchen is created from simple lines and enclosed in a cube with smoothed corners. A simple shape with complex content, the favoured approach of the designer, is used in this case: the el-egant, minimalist Gorenje kitchen is equipped with the latest technology.

At the Moscow Design Week last year Ito presented the prototype of the “Savvinskaya, 23” cafe, named after the centre in which it is due to be located. The project features impressive smooth curving lines and a fu-turistically shaped bar counter. The bright colour also attracts attention.

Ora Ito can create a distinctive idea for almost any familiar domestic object. The designer defines his style as “simplexity”, the unity of simplic-ity and complexity. His designs - whether it's a mat, car or cafe - are al-ways ergonomic and directed at the future.

NAMED COLLECTIONSThe British designer Carl Robinson, the creator of the epon-ymous brand, is known worldwide as a designer of creative wall coverings and matching fabrics.

TRANSPARENT DESIGNAn architect by training, Alain Berteau has devoted himself to industrial design, in which he has achieved international recognition. His products , from creative flash drives to pieces of furniture, are ergonomic and functional.

The culmination of the designer’s work has been the creation of his own eponymous wallpaper collections. Their design features a rich col-our palette, three-dimensional images, unique coatings, and realistic im-itations of various textures: tapestries, leather, vintage covers, and wa-tercolours with images of delicate rose buds. To create the collections, Robinson, a third generation designer, revived pattern sketches by his grandfather: “Creating wallpapers has become for me an expression of inner creativity. Design is in the Robinsons’ blood”.

To make the unique collections of Carl Robinson requires complex technology and sometimes even work by hand. The production of the wallpapers involves individual embroidery, metal foil, and hand printing. The designer creates wallpaper in collaboration with the major German manufacturer of elite wall coverings KT Exclusive, whose technologies make it possible to use a complex manufacturing process to bring the de-signer’s ideas to life.

Berteau was one of the first to turn to designing glass objects. According to him, "Glass is an amazing ma-terial. It is a versatile and multi-functional product. It opens a lot of possibilities."Graphics and text printed on glass give individuality, even to mass produced goods. And Berteau fully applies this method. For AGC Glass Europe, he has created the line of unique designs for glass partitions, Functional Patterns, produced from Ar-tlite Digital glass. The image is applied to the glass by ink printing on an enamel base, while varying degrees of transparency can be achieved by the colour applied. After the image is applied, the Artlite Digital glass is sub-jected to a hardening process, so the glass becomes more durable and safe. The paint is resistant to abrasion, moisture and UV rays.

Konrad Urbanowicz“BEST ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION FOR AN

ACCESSIBLE ENVIRONMENT”among architectural students

Konrad Urbanowicz, a student from Poland, was the winner of the category “Best Architectural Solution for an Accessible Environment”. He designed an educational complex for a primary school.

The main idea of the project is the easy accessibility of any room. The entrances and seating in the classes are widened and equipped for students with disabilities.

The classroom buildings are arranged in a circle and connected by a closed gallery. At the centre is a green courtyard for games and rest during breaks and after class. This spacious and safe space will replace the tradi-tional school corridors.

The complex comprises six classrooms, four rooms for specialised classes, a kitchen and dining area, an adminis-trative building, a library, a hall for events and, the largest part, a sports sector with adjacent outdoor playgrounds.

66

| AWARD

All the buildings are connected to each other by a vast system of footpaths.

Due to the large number of windows not only in the walls but also in the roofs, the classrooms receive plen-ty of sunlight throughout the day. The scattered toy cubes bring variety to the interior of the classrooms and gallery.

Despite the fact that due to the uneven terrain the buildings are at different heights, almost all the exits to the courtyard are located on the same level. This avoids unnecessary raised areas, which is also important for chil-dren with disabilities.

Konrad Urbanowicz’s primary school project aims to provide equal opportunities and safety for young stu-dents. The layout and design of the complex transforms the school into an elaborate playground, reminding us that its users are principally children.
