Khodynka Park

Towards a sustainable tomorrow

Is a collaboration between Italian and Deutch architects (Andreas Kipar LAND Milano, Mario Cucinella, MCA, Thomas Schonauer, LEFTLOFT) the design of the new Khodynka park in Moscow, which will be built in the north township of the city, in an area of 42 acres formerly occupied by the former military airport.

At the time when architecture and society urgently need to reconsider more broadly their relationship with the natural world and move towards a more sustainable future, the project of the new «Khodynskoye pole» park offers a unique opportunity to redefine the meaning of an integrated park in a contemporary, sustainable society.

ll the Design is inspired by nature and land art, and the general approach is  exploring mankind’s desire to reconnect to the earth, through the built environment. All pavilions are designed to be discovered by visitors. The design overlaps each functional aspect with the plot and the mistery of the park.

MCA has been involved in the design of particular elements of the park such as the metro entrance, the park and boulevard pavilions and the sports center.

In un momento in cui architettura e società hanno urgente bisogno di riconsiderare in modo più ampio il loro rapporto con il mondo naturale e muoversi verso un futuro più sostenibile, il progetto del nuovo Khodynskoye park vuole ridefinire il significato di “parco integrato nella società” in modo sostenibile e contemporaneo.

Il design si ispira alla natura e alla land art, l’approccio generale esplora il desiderio dell’uomo di riconnettersi alla terra, attraverso l’ambiente costruito. Tutti gli elementi architettonici sono stati progettati per essere “scoperti” dai visitatori. Gli aspetti funzionali si sovrappongono in modo complementare alla trama del parco.

MCA si è occupato in particolare della progettazione di elementi del parco quali: l’ingresso della metropolitana, i padiglioni “the nest” quelli lungo il boulevard, il centro sportivo.
