Description
  • -Skolkovo Innovation Center is a science and technology park being developed in the city of Skolkovo.
  • The masterplan is inspired by the linear city concept, where the sectors of a city are arranged linearly on either end of a major transport road leading to the formation of an elongated urban area.
  • The park consists of 5 research clusters, a technopark, a university (SkolTech) and a new city. Each cluster would be dedicated to a certain field in the science and innovation industry.
  • There is a road forming the main axis running across all districts. It is referred to as the Central Boulevard. It forms the main artery for the entire project.
  • The center has various facilities such as laboratory infrastructure, R&D centers and a technological university aimed at attracting companies and researchers.
  • The project would be “eco-efficient” ,there would be innovation on the park’s urban design and sustainability.
  • The 5 clusters are termed as districts. Each district would be mixed-use with residential areas, offices and social infrastructure such as schools and retail.
  • The design aims to be human oriented. It would be of low-density and would have mixed-uses.
  • The masterplan by AREP has used the existing site features to create natural frames for the development. This has been continued with AECOM’s landscape design for the area, which amplifies the existing topography through accentuated landforms.
  • The accentuated landforms would create spaces for innovation ,interaction and play . It also would enable site-wide water flow and bring away emphasis from the built forms.
  • The residential and office space would offer inhabitants with views of nature and key architectural landmarks of the city. The city is connected by a network of parks and public spaces.
  • The central zone is being developed with civic and public facilities to attract visitors. It would be connected to a major transport terminal.
