Archiprix International Moscow 2013 What if....

What happens when the world’s best graduates in the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture travel from all over the world to Moscow to design plans to free the city from its planning deadlock. What to do with the huge Military and secret service zones in the city, the surplus of unused green areas, abandoned railway yards or the huge fenced schoolyards? Moscow’s Holy Cows are not are not addressed in a way that the establishment had expected. This film documents the workshops organized by the Strelka in cooperation with Archiprix and shows the experiences of the Archiprix participants. By working together on the design tasks they learn to know each other as colleagues. During the workshops an international network evolves that is in line with the new way of working where designers operate internationally in varying partnerships.
