Zaryadye. Project of the city

City is a public space that occurs in the vacant place at the border of intersection of the community’s interests. Public interests are appear in the political space which can exists due to the possibility of conflict and decision consensus. It appears in the intermediate space (the so-called space «inbetween») between the main elements.

Garden of Eden = provocation?
It is believed that the Garden of Eden is a place of perfect life. In the garden were the tree of the knowledge with forbidden fruit. The ban has expressed more language than in the physical articulation. Verbal admonition tells us, that the tree did not have physical limitations. Therefore, the ability to violate the ban was existed as freedom of choice. At the same time, there are public rules. Freedom - a precondition for further evolution.
Culture is an energy which people makes outside of his body. It defines community development and civilization as a whole.
Opposition is a principle of dependence. Two opposing substance, which complement and develop due to each other. Embody integrity. For example, male - female; rational - irrational; external - internal; unique - universal; private - public. Interaction between substances is in constant motion. It produces energy, which supply space between them.

To go from a passive state to an active, provocation is necessary, motivating people to an action. For the construction of the public space is important process of interaction between the participants, which can implement by the integration of different communities (consumer society, society of the spectacle, etc.).
The city consists of several quarters. Population mostly Jews, as well as Armenians, Russian, Persian. He is polycentric and consist of many diverse elements, each of which is autonomous and has its own center, no one of which is dominant. Elements consist of complex structures, owned and render habitable residents.

The objects, which create the living environment.
Quarters from the elements represented, are composed of different parts according to the type of use.

Ground floor
Permeability
Buildings and structures are not an obstacle. Anyone wants can walk through the building. The main achievement of this city — the reduction of travel time and ability to cross it in any direction.
Programm (mix-use)
Striving for equality, the human was captured the sameness. Users perform the same work, the same feel, the same thought. City works as a machine producing tangible and material resources. Indifference, apathy, short memory, not permanence - their characteristics.  The homogeneous space of the ground floor consists of alternations of dark (for buildings) and light (streets, yards) spaces. Street ceased to exist as infrastructure and social institution. Social contacts occur in the common area on the border of private and public.
To improve the political ambitions of the country, the international institution located inside the building. It is assumed that institution will create a counterweight to Western superpowers. The part on the top of the building can moves vertically, changing its position in space, affecting the city’s skyline. In the first position the building is open, pass to the courtyard activists and other non-governmental organizations. In the second position creates a closed courtyard for private events.

Square is a place for democratic forums and public debates. It identified and defined disagreement between people.

Kibbutz
Complex structure fills the space between artifacts. It is based on the principle of repetition, which allows you to constantly reinforced. It consists of four structures, which are intertwined. The complicated forms create a complex scheme of adjacent spaces that become public for the residents. A variety of spaces, determines the nature of unpredictability and freedom of choice.

The bureaucratic machine.
Based on the principles of association and the separation of private and public space. Each employee has their own work space inside container, which «look» in the Square.
«In societies that have reached thecontemporary level of development of production, the whole of life appears as a huge conglomeration of performances. All that was experienced earlier itself, now pushed into performance».
(Dis)sociation. Education center
Each child have a private space in a containers for making his own world. Freedom of creation and action necessary for education by empiric way. They isolated from surrounding world and rejected existed rules.
Balloons is a opposition of force of gravity and dome of church. Special gas inside balloons can lifts up containers. For take a comfortable place of courtyard space, they can move vertically and horizontally.
There is a possible to intersect containers between them. It create an archipelago, which combined to produce common interests.
Markets, cathedrals, churches define the compositional logic of the city. The plan can be represented as a skeleton from the group of architectural elements. The chaotic arrangement of objects floating in space, emphasizes their autonomy from the general context.
While developing the surrounding buildings due to the external environment, the monuments are determined by its own internal logic. Usually, they are in the courts or semi-enclosed spaces.Surrounding building separate them from external space.

3 | Three main streets of Moscow began with temples. The synagogue is located at the beginning of the streets of the Jewish quarter. It gives a meaning in the context of urban development.
Space «inbetween» is a sacred to the Jewish culture. It is the transition from one phase to another. To emphasize the buffer space, thicken walls up to 5m, which cut premises. Enter from the north. In the south wall is dissected by narrow windows, as a reaction to outside space.

9 | The monument of architectural utopias.
For many decades, architects have proposed the most ambitious projects on site of Zaryadye. This place has become a bridgehead for architectural experimentation as the most stupid and brave. Of the huge number of ideas are endless confusion. To cope with this difficult situation, architects design a tower maze. The tower consists of a set of stairs that lead to a certain place in space. Since then, they roam inside the tower in search of answers.
