The fibreglass-concrete facades of this technology centre in Moscow, designed by architecture practice Wall, are imprinted with a pattern based on the conductive tracks of circuit boards. <\/p>\n
Moscow-based Wall, astudio led by architectsArakelyan Ruben and Navasardyan Ayk, designed the Pavilion of Moscow Information Technology Departmentfor the city's exhibition centre and amusement parkVDNH. <\/p>\n
Also known asPavilion DIT, the 1,600-square-metre temporary pavilionstands at the intersection of Kolcevaya Road and Serenevaya Alley. <\/p>\n
It is expected to remain in place for10 years, and will be used to show off the most interesting achievements inelectronics. <\/p>\n
Lines and circles are imprinted into the fibreglass-concrete panels that clad the building, creating thetactile facade intended to reference the circuit boards used inelectronics. <\/p>\n
The panels, which continue onto the ground at the pavilion's entrance, were designed by Wall and made in a local factory. <\/p>\n
These imprinted walls arewindowless, placingfurther emphasis on the pattern. This approach also helped todraw visitors towards the full-height glazing that fronts entrance points to the building. <\/p>\n
Inside, thesingle-storey space isdivided into three parts an exhibition space, business centre and a children'szone that are separated by a recess in the building's facade. <\/p>\n
\"Thematic areas create open spaces for flexible use in the summer season, open exhibitions, lectures, workshops, kid's activities,\" explained thearchitects. <\/p>\n
Other recent examples of contemporary architecture in Russia's capital city include OMA'sGarage Museum of Contemporary Art and David Adjaye'sMoscow School of Management. <\/p>\n
Just outside the city, London-based Zaha Hadid Architects is working on a building for theSkolkovo Innovation Center, Russia's answer to Silicon Valley. The131,000-square-metreSberbank Technopark buildingreferences Hadid's well-documented interest in the Russian Avant-Garde. <\/p>\n
