Open International Competition for Development of the Architectural and Artistic Concept of two Moscow Metro Stations started on November, 22, 2017. The main objective of the Competition is to find the unique architectural-artistic solutions for interiors of passenger areas and entrance halls of the two new metro stations - “Nagatinsky zaton” and “Klenoviy bulvar”. These are the stations of the Third interchange circuit and will be located in South administrative district of Moscow. The competition initiator is Mosinzhproekt JSC, a single operator of the Moscow Metro development program. The Competition is held with the support of the Moscow Stroykomplex and involving Sergey Kuznetsov - Chief Architect of Moscow.

On the first stage of the competition it is necessary to submit the portfolio of the implemented projects and essay describing and visualizing key ideas of architectural and artistic solutions for each of the two nominations.  

The competition concepts of the artistic decisions for the stations should blend harmoniously with the town-planning, historical and cultural environment of the region they are located in; be resistant to time; adaptable to streamlined production; adaptable for safe transportation of all population categories; and also have unified navigation system.
  Quality and realizability of the projects will be evaluated by the professional Jury. The jury includes Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor for Urban Development and Construction; Sergey Kuznetsov, Chief Architect of Moscow; Mars Gazizullin, General Director of Mosinzhproekt JSC; Victor Kozlovskiy, the Head of the Moscow Metropoliten and leading Russian and international specialists in the field of architecture, design, construction technology and urban planning.   The Competition will be held in two stages. The first stage is the selective one, during which the selection of the 5 finalists for each metro station will take place based on their applications and portfolios, essays and proposed visualizations. The second stage is devoted to the concrete work of the finalists on the competition projects. It lasts 1,5 months during which the selected finalists will improve their projects according to the Detailed Technical specifications. At the end of the Second stage the finalists will present their concepts to the Jury. The Jury experts will chose the short-list of the projects, the best out of which will be implemented.

  «The experience of conducting architectural competitions in order to determine the appearance of the metro stations has proved its worth. Now an international competition has been announced for the search of individual solutions for creating the appearance of two stations of the Third interchange circuit Nagatinsky zaton” and “Klenoviy bulvar. One of the most beautiful metro in the world is in Moscow and we need to keep this brand. Architectural competitions should attract new interesting ideas in the design of the underground».

  «We consider the Competitions as a flagship in terms of promoting the interests of architecture. Every era has left its mark in the appearance of the Moscow Metro, and our time is not an exception. Thanks to Sergei Sobyanin's policy aimed at improving the quality of socially significant facilities, we are announcing the fourth architectural competition for the metro and hope that it will become a major event both in the professional environment and in the life of the city.
Here we talk about two stations of the Third interchange contour - “Nagatinsky zaton” and “Klenoviy bulvar” and each place has its own unique context.
As Russian and international teams are invited to participate, the competition and the level of works will be expectedly high».  


 Mars Gazizullin, General Director of Mosinzhproekt JSC «In 2014, at the initiative of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Mosinzhproekt revived the practice of holding professional contests for the development of the architectural and artistic appearance of metro stations. Since then, three open competitions have been held, where a design was selected for seven future stations of the Moscow metro. The results of the competitions are very presentably, and are already being implemented. Today we are announcing the new Open International Competition for Development of the Architectural and Artistic Concept of two Moscow Metro Stations of the Third interchange circuit. I hope that the participants will offer truly unique design solutions for the Nagatinsky Zaton and Klenoviy bulvar stations, which will appear next to one of the most interesting places in Moscow - the historical, architectural and nature-landscape museum-reserve “Kolomenskoye».
