EMERGING URBAN NODEBotanic Garden | Moscow, Russia, 2013 Site Area: 25.3 hectares | BUA: 230,000 sqm | Height: 24 floors / 80 m While Moscow City’s metro system is already the busiest outside Asia, Moscow City is also known for its severe gridlock trafc congestion. Moscow City continues to promote the use and extension of its public transportation network; part of this plan is to convert Moscow’s freight railway into a loop passenger train system. Botanic Garden (“Botanichesky Sad”) in the north of Moscow is destined to become a transportation hub, where the new circular passenger train will intersect with the existing No. 6 Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Metro Line. Together with the planned long-distance bus terminal and a park-and-ride facility, Botanic Garden is an important Transport and Public Utilities (TPU) project in Moscow City.The design proposal for the 25.3 ha site includes the transportation facilities as well as residential and commercial development. To provide the greatest possible convenience to passengers, pedestrian linkages via underground tunnels and sky decks are proposed, connecting stations and commercial facilities with each other.The north entrance to the station serves as the connection to the residential area, where a sunken garden brings passengers through an underground corridor to the transportation facilities. The underground passage is part of a greater pedestrian network, which includes protected, internal passages to provide comfort during the cold winters.For the south side of the station a compact mixed-use commercial complex is proposed to leverage the proximity and accessibility of the transportation hub. Ofces, a hotel and shopping mall will all enjoy direct connection to the station. The landscape approach builds on the adjacency to the nearby Botanic Garden and includes green elements throughout the design to create a park-like atmosphere.The integration of transportation facilities along with the development of a mixed-use compact city creates a strong and sustainable development vision.NIKKEN SEKKEI URBANISMSTATION INTEGRATED URBAN DESIGN042 _ 043
