ROMAINVILLE, FRANCE BRENAC & GONZALEZ & ASSOCIATES
ADMIRAL SEREBRYAKOV EMBANKMENT, RUSSIA ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS
Zaha Hadid Architects has won the Admiral Serebryakov Embankment masterplan competition. Located on the Black Sea coast, the city of Novorossiysk is the nation’s largest shipping port and the third busiest in Europe by turnover. The 13.9-hectare masterplan is a phased development of nine principal buildings with a total floor area of approximately 300,000 square metres. Applying the concept of “instancing” in which nine iterations of a single form evolve in a gradient across the site, the configuration of each building is established according its unique function, conditions and requirements. The masterplan’s first phase will include facilities for civic, cultural and corporate events as well as the hotel.
The architecture office Brenac & Gonzalez & Associates has delivered a 161 apartment project in Romainville. The project had a “pivotal role to play in the transformation and renewal of its neighbourhood,” said the architects. “The fragmentation of the project opened the way for continuity with the surrounding area and the creation of visual perspectives, making the city block more porous and open”. This approach also alleviates the perception of density, resulting in apartments with limited direct views of the neighbours opposite. Greenery also had an important role to play in the architectural plan through the treatment of the terraces, which are detached from the facades, served by wooden footbridges and “can be imagined as treehouses”.
