All rights reserved. ISBN 978-94-6366-044-0, https://doi.org/10.7480/cgc.6.2196 Zaryadye Park, Glass Grid Shell Roof Gennady Vasilchenko-Malishev a, S. Chesnokov b a Malishev Engineers, United Kingdom, [email protected] b Glass Research Institute, Russia, [email protected] This paper will describe the design, detailing, testing and construction of the structural glass beams which make up the load bearing grid shell structure of the newly built Zaryadye Park in Moscow, Russia. The canopy structure is situated short distance from Red Square and the Kremlin. Structural glass beams, 72 in total, are connected into the main undulating steel grid shell structure which measures approximately 120m long and 60m wide. The beams themselves vary in length according to the geometry but are generally 3m long, 0.2m deep. The beams meet each other and the main steel structure at bespoke stainless steel nodes, and are topped by triangular glass roof panels. The glass beams were designed to accommodate Moscow’s extreme weather conditions, with drifted snow loads of up to 350 kg/m2. Differential movement of the main structure was another challenge for the design team, and required sophisticated linear analysis with over 150 load combinations. The resulting movements called for further development of the nodal connections and non-linear analysis of their performance. Due to a lack of legislation covering structural glass in Russia a so called ‘Special Technical Standard’ was required.

The article considers a recent large-scale landscape-architectural experiment in the historical centre of Moscow. Zaryadye district, mentioned since the XII century, has a rich history, and the most dynamic changes occurred in the XX century, when historical buildings were demolished and several architectural projects of Soviet gigantomania were subsequently tried to realize in this area. By 2010 this territory in the centre of the Moscow turned into a wasteland. By September 2017 a landscape-architectural park was created here according to the project of the American firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, which won the competition. The park implements an artificial relief, in which a miniature display of different Russian landscapes is integrated with buildings of various cultural purposes. As a result, the sudden transformation of a considerable territory near the Kremlin appeared, and new unexpected and interesting visual landscapes opened. One of the goals is to present a new park to landscape architects and researchers. Keywords: landscape architecture, urban landscape, landscape change, multifunctional park, Moscow, park "Zaryadye" Introduction The work was carried out to explore a new figures in landscape architecture in XX century. landscape architectural artifact in the centre of He was an environmentalist, professor, and an Moscow.
