All-Russian
Open Architectural Competition with International Participation for
a Draft Project of a Country House
1.Competition
Programme.
1.1.
Competition Purposes.
The cardinal transformations of the political, economical and social
conditions of life in Russia occurring during the last decades have
in many respects changed the traditional views on the system of settling
and on environmental, ecological, energy and urban planning problems.
They called for new types of buildings and facilities that were not
being developed before now.
An individual dwelling house for one family - a county private mansion
in the outskirts of a Megapolis - is now the main building block of
highly comfortable representative settlements that are simultaneously
emerging today in the Moscow suburbs like an outbreak.
A half-spontaneous building up in the vicinities of Moscow that was
going on since the 1980s is now giving way to more reasonable and
weighted up urban planning solutions and to the attempts of rational
forming the respectable dwelling areas, i.e., "green countryside"
and satellite settlements near the Capital.
Creative searches and the completed realizations of such projects
not merely demonstrate all the contradictions existing - the ideological,
class and taste differences - but also present the evidence of a genre
crisis of some sort. This crisis is expressed in constant duplication
of the themes and directions already tested, and not many of them
could perhaps be attributed to something like a feat of modern architecture.
The themes of noblemen's manor houses of XVIII - XIX centuries, of
European villas and Russian "dachas" of the end of XIX -
XX centuries in combination with the Soviet traditions of "model
housing development" in the central farmsteads of kolkhozes and
sovkhozes-"millionaires" /collective and state farms/ as
well as the state dachas of "nomenclature civil servers"
have constantly been used and rephrased. And this process is not of
any help for designing a good quality architecture, neither for forming
progressive views among the clients.
The purpose of the Competition is to stimulate professionals and students-architects'
creative researches in the direction of developing the new high-tech,
technically perfect, ecologically adjusted and functionally rational
types of individual highly comfortable dwelling houses for one family
in the countryside of the Moscow area.
The authors of the Project awarded by the First Prize will be able
to put into practice their creative ideas by realizing their House
in the Countryside - DOM zagoroDOM. Its building as well as the discovery
of new "architectural" names in the field of projecting
individual housing will become a particular result of the Competition.
The promoters hope for a wide interest in this Competition among the
architectural community, professional critics and mass media. The
Competition results - in case of its success - will permit to make
it a regular architectural event to be held once in two or three years,
because the "private" architecture is the most lively and
graphic reflection of its time.
