Since the beginning of the year, five more turbo-ring intersections have been built in the capital.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of the year by projects Traffic Management Center (TsODD) equipped five turbo-ring intersections at the intersection of Tallinskaya Street and Kulakov Street, Presnensky Val Street with Khodynskaya Street and Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane, Trikotazhny Proezd and the exit to and from the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), as well as at Akademika Kurchatova and Romain Rolland Squares.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we're improving road safety and creating comfortable traffic conditions. Thanks to the TsODD projects, five more turbo-roundabout intersections have been built since the beginning of the year. Drivers can now navigate these sections 10 percent faster. Turbo-roundabout markings are an effective method for organizing roundabouts, reducing the number of traffic accidents by an average of 10-15 percent," he explained.

Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

"Turbo" markings on roundabouts improve traffic conditions: travel time is reduced, and travel safety and comfort are increased. A distinctive feature of these markings is that the lanes are designed to minimize lane changes. Drivers simply need to choose a direction and take the correct lane according to the sign before the intersection, and then follow the markings. On a regular roundabout, the markings guide traffic around the roundabout in two or three lanes, while on turbo roundabouts, the markings are guiding. Drivers can see in advance which lane they need to be in to make left, right, or straight turns at the roundabout. Drivers entering the turbo roundabout can also use the signs and take the correct lane in advance, reducing unnecessary lane changes, braking, and related minor accidents. This speeds up travel through the roundabout, hence the name "turbo roundabout."

Thanks to the TsODD projects, 18 "turbo rings" have already opened in the capital since 2019. They are primarily being installed at complex intersections with heavy traffic.

Rebate program

Summing up Results of the Moscow International Film WeekSergei Sobyanin announced that the first two applications for rebates—financial support from the Moscow Government for film co-productions with foreign film companies—were submitted. The capital became the first Russian region to implement the program.

"Last year, an intergovernmental agreement on joint film production was signed between Russia and Uzbekistan. Several projects have been launched under this agreement, including the filming of a feature film, "Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division," in collaboration with KD Studios. We are confident that this project will also be successful and will bring filmmakers, audiences, and the peoples of the two countries closer together," noted Bakhodir Mukhamedov, director of the Uzbekfilm film concern.

"Battle for Moscow. Tashkent division"

The film is dedicated to the heroism of the Tashkent Division, which participated in the Battle of Moscow. Its anniversary is celebrated on September 30.

"International cooperation in cinema has always been an important focus for the Moscow film cluster. A few months after the launch of the rebate program, we are preparing to welcome partners from Uzbekistan to the capital. The film 'Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division' will be one of the first produced under the program. In addition to providing financial support to filmmakers and developing the city's economy, we also strive to create historically significant projects in the capital. It is also significant that work on the project is beginning now—in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory," noted Georgy Prokopov, General Director of ANO Moskino.

Volume, color, shape, number of floors, and layout. In the design of housesrenovation program— the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history — is being meticulously executed in every detail. Buildings are being modernized and functional, and their appearance is becoming a beautification of neighborhoods. Over the eight years of the program's implementation, approximately 6.4 million square meters of housing have been built in the city. Over 226,000 Muscovites have moved or are moving into the new buildings from more than 1,300 buildings. old fund.

Each building under the renovation program is built using a custom design. It takes into account the architectural landscape, meets all requirements for multi-story construction, and makes them modern and beautiful.

Moscow architect Dmitry Sukhov, the author of nearly 30 new building projects under the renovation program, spoke to a mos.ru correspondent about how ideas for the future appearance of buildings in the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history are being developed and implemented, and what unusual buildings are being erected for its participants today.

From prefab technologies to unique design

Houses under the renovation program are built using monolithic and panel structures, as well as prefab technologies, where some elements are prefabricated in factories and assembled on site. This allows for faster construction.

Before construction of a building begins, a whole team works on its design: architects, designers, engineers, landscape designers and other specialists.

"Each building under the renovation program is a comprehensive project that takes into account its exterior appearance, interior content, and even the surrounding area. The building must meet all modern requirements for multi-story construction in Moscow. For example, we designate the ground floors as non-residential: cafes, shops, and pickup points will be located there. The entrance to the building must be level with the ground, and the building itself must have a through passage to both the street and the courtyard. Apartments for residents with limited mobility are designed separately, with wider corridors and doorways, underground or above-ground parking, and vestibules. Taking these factors into account, we also consider the location of the building, the landscape, and the size of the site. This determines the height of the new building and its shape," explains Dmitry Sukhov.

The building's exterior is given special attention during the design stage. In addition to the shape and height of the buildings, experts meticulously consider their architectural design. Facades can feature unusual color combinations, ornamentation, reliefs, and even patterns. This makes each building distinctive and allows the new buildings to blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

"An architect's work is similar to that of a director: we develop a scenario for how the project should look and what it will reflect, what needs to be considered, how it will attract attention, and how it will surprise residents. It's important that the building be recognizable to both its residents and those of the district and the capital as a whole. This creates a special atmosphere and highlights the quality of urban development. A building's uniqueness can be its shape, volume, height, or individual architectural details," says Dmitry Sukhov.

Hexagons, sandstone and 3D effect

With its ornate ornamentation, expressive color, and three-dimensional shapes, a building with a unique appearance will soon grace the Tsaritsyno district. Construction is underway on Kavkazsky Boulevard (land plot No. 27). 21-story building with three-dimensional facades. Copper-coated aluminum panels are used for finishing.

"Each panel will be manufactured individually, and then all the elements will be assembled into an unusual geometric pattern resembling three-dimensional weaving. This 3D effect will add originality to the facade design and create a memorable look for the entire building. Decorative steel grilles with an intricate pattern will complete the composition," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

The new building will be constructed near the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The building is scheduled to open this year.

One more thing unusual buildingA two-building residential complex will open on Aviatsionnaya Street (land plot no. 61a) in the Shchukino district in 2026. The building will feature a simple rectangular shape with varying heights. Decorative inserts will be placed between the glazed loggias and windows, which will stretch across the facades like ribbons.

"The subtle hexagonal pattern on the graphite panels will contrast with the powerful sandstone-effect façade pillars, creating an architectural harmony. It's important to incorporate natural forms, colors, and textures into the design of buildings. They make urban development more visually appealing and evoke positive emotions," the mos.ru source emphasized.

In the east of the capital, six new buildings have been handed over for occupancy under the renovation program.From June to August of this year, construction began on 32 buildings in Moscow to implement the renovation program.Residents of 100 old buildings in the south of the capital are being relocated to modern apartments under a renovation program.

Steamboat house and waves on the facades

When designing houses under the renovation program, not only colors and textures but also shapes play an important role. The appearance of a building depends, among other things, on its location. If the construction site is small and located in a densely populated area, the house may be narrow and tall; if it borders an intersection, it may be a corner house. Sometimes, however, the shape becomes the most striking feature of a new building.

So, on Taininskaya Street (property 16, building 3) in the Losinoostrovsky district this year there will be house, resembling a spaceship. The building's outer corner will be rounded, and the sides of the façade will feature recesses. The ground floors of the new building will feature panoramic stained-glass windows, creating the impression that the building is literally floating in mid-air.

Another original project was developed for new buildings In Moscow's Presnensky District, a building resembling a steamship is being constructed on Podvoiskogo Street (land plot no. 12/15). Four sections of the building will be arranged to resemble a deck, while a fifth will extend upward.

"The project features a distinctive play of contrasts. These include the two volumes of different heights and the alternating colors and lines. The dark gray facades are adorned with horizontal and vertical light gray stripes. The predominance of lines in architecture is called linearity. This technique creates a graphic effect, emphasizing contours. Furthermore, the facades feature protruding details that form a wave. This also makes the building interesting. It begs to be studied and contemplated," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

Muscovites will soon have this opportunity. The new building is scheduled to open next year.

57 new buildings have been erected in northern Moscow to implement the renovation program.In August, nearly 4,800 city residents signed contracts for new apartments under the renovation program.Around seven thousand families have moved into new apartments in the South-Western Administrative Okrug since the start of the renovation program.

Shades of the North, murals and swallows

In the capital's housing projects under the renovation program, one can find not only whimsical shapes and original ornamentation, but also reflections of the districts' distinctive features and their history. For example, in the Yuzhnoportovy district, this year, buildingThe end façade of the building will be adorned with a large mural dedicated to Hero of the Soviet Union pilot Pyotr Romanov. The new building will be located on the street of the same name (building 10). The image will be mounted on a decorative relief panel made of glass fiber reinforced concrete.

Petra Romanova Street appeared in the capital 60 years ago. Initially, it was called Novoproektiruyemy Proezd, and later 8th Kozhukhovskaya Street. In 1965, the initiative to name the street after the hero of the Great Patriotic War was put forward by workers of the First State Bearing Plant (now the Moscow Bearing Plant), located nearby, where he worked as a mechanic. Pyotr Romanova took part in the defense of Moscow and Stalingrad, and fought in Smolensk, Bryansk, Poltava, and other cities.

In memory of another conqueror of the skies, the capital has a street named Pilot Babushkina. An original monument will also be erected here. house As part of the renovation program, the multi-story building (building 29, block 5) will be symbolically decorated with murals of clouds and swallows. They will be placed above the building's entrances on the second floor.

"Swallows can also be seen on the cartouche—a decorative shield—on the building's roof. The birds are depicted with outstretched wings, as if in flight. In addition to decorative accents, the design for the future building also seamlessly blends natural tones: blue, white, and gray," emphasizes Dmitry Sukhov.

Toponymy can also be seen in the project Houses, which will be built under the renovation program on Verkhoyanskaya Street (land plot No. 14). A new U-shaped building with bright accents on the facades is being constructed there. Since the building is being constructed in the Babushkinsky District, located in northeastern Moscow, it was decided to design it around a northern theme. The main part of the facade will be white, with gray accents on the top, and two sections will be painted in shades of light blue and blue, evoking the landscapes of Arctic cities and Siberia. The building is scheduled to open this year.

The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It covers 5,176 buildings—more than 350,000 apartments with a total floor area of 16.4 million square meters. Nearly a million Muscovites live in these buildings.
