Project:
The focus is on domesticity in the post-carbon era, or the Anthropocene, approached through Moscow's socio-political conditions. The Soviet Regime's rationalist architecture has posed an identity issue in residential areas since the 1930s. Hence, we propose an ornamental construction solution created through suggested domestic dynamics. Our team prototyped it with mycelium pieces that absorb twice their mass in CO2, adorning facades ornamentally. These pieces are produced in a new building typology that combines agricultural, industrial, and residential programs, fostering codependency through strategies like payment methods, balancing Rubles and mycelium cultivation time.
We’re expanding the old productive use of the Hlevozabod 9 bread factory. Building waste is recycled into substrate production, while public spaces benefit from the heat from ovens, fostering a cleaner ecosystem and a circular economy. The vertical architecture avoids horizontal spread, whether for human or agricultural use. It features circular greenhouse stacks maximizing solar radiation, with a central structure from which the rings hang, specific frameworks for each, supported floors, glass and polycarbonate envelopes, and central vertical circulation.
We've developed 10 habitation models within this system, offering endless combinations. Each ring is split into two: the lower for human living, the upper for crops. Among these models are single-room hotels with foldable walls and collective crops; apartments with individual or group crops; leisure, workshop, and conference spaces with collective crops; R&D centers with specialized crops; a representation of the Russian natural landscape; communal living spaces with movable rooms and sectioned crops; and a restaurant sourcing from its cultivation, paid for with cultivation support. Just like residential spaces, part payment involves crop cooperation.
