The Morton Group announces the "Russian Character" International Architecture Competition to develop the concept for a Culture & Education Center.
The Center will become the main cultural venue in the Butovo Park residential district, a place for recreation and communication for local residents.
The project will help create an environment for social interaction in the new residential district. Butovo Park, like most new developments, is relatively far from cultural and social amenities. The Culture & Education Center will be the only place in the vicinity for lectures, film screenings, concerts and master classes. It will also offer a place for physical activity and holding outdoor events in a pleasant landscaped setting. The Center will include a museum with exhibitions on the history of the area.
The competition is aimed at finding new elements, forms and images that embody contemporary Russian architecture. Applications will be accepted through March 15, 2014. More information can be found at the competition's official website.
