SADOVOE KOLTSO
OFFICE BUILDING
Moscow, Russia
3,200m2
COMPLETED, 1993-1995
Author with Đorđe Mitrović, Nikola Žarković
After the fire which demolished the 18th Century building in the historic centre of Moscow, only fragments of the front façade have survived. The fragile method of reconstruction of old structures was unacceptable because of a lack of authentic documents. The decision was to build an extension behind it. The idea was to make a connection between centuries and to demonstrate principles of contemporary architecture wherever possible.
