Significant set of architectural volumes, elements of engineering infrastructure projects announced in the competitive job involves inevitable, large-scale and, in many ways, harmful introduction into protected areas of Park.
Not develop for the project Nikola-Lenivets is impossible, without expanding the zone of influence and impact on the natural system and landscape ensemble.
If we can not do the architecture, we will strive to do "not architecture"!
The concept of project group "Pole-Design" implies submission to the landscape, with the aim of avoiding from purely bulk solutions - hiding them in the landscape. Protection of the landscape is much more important than the appearance of a bright showy forms. Functional objects "covered" and grouped under common green "hill" that restore a natural covering.
The planning scheme of layout of volumes comes from analysis of the features of the spatial organization of the territory.
Habitual for local populations "slicing" bands - allotments, taken as a basis and located in the area were already well mastered earlier. The space of fields, new seedlings, former agricultural lands, and other open spaces are left for contemplation, art influences and interventions within agricultural future functioning of art residences.
Dendrology analysis reveals coloristic palette of their existing fields of plant species, which determines the possibility of natural seasonal color zone of contemplation.
The systems of Energy efficiency technologies allows for real-time to solve most of the questions on life support complex. The use of construction techniques with straw blocks and local clays on the wooden frame of anticipated savings, reduce of construction time, the possibility of a full recovery and the involvement of local people in the process of providing and preparing construction.
Dissolution in the landscape - are prioritizing development activities art residences and the details of their life and security.
