Matthias Bär Matthias Bär Zaha Hadid Zaha Hadid Diplomarbeit an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien Moscow: Skyscrapers The Diploma treats a current urbanistic discussion in Moscow. That is the erection of a series of new skyscrapers within the city of Moscow. Moscow authorities plan to position the skyscraper in a new concentric repetitive ring. This emphasizes the centre but fails to establish heterogeneous variational urbanistic figures. The diplomas proposal concentrates the skyscrapers on an axis that was projected in the 1935 Stalinist master plan. The urbanistic figure accentuates existing morphologies and historic sites. For instance, there is an extensive bowl-like development at the Lenin stadium and a crest-like peak with falling off flanks at the Lomonosov university. Each skyscraper responds to contextual and functional parameters and is evolving as a highly specific new typology.
