The article describes the directions of the development of applied mechanics in Russia in the 17th – 18th centuries and focuses on the first attempts to train specialists in these areas. These are the construction of roads, bridges, fortification and hydraulic engineering constructions, practical ballistics. Water and land means of communications are being improved, the industries that served the army and the fleet are developing, and the first attempts are being made to educate mechanics and technicians. Educational institutions are being opened, in which elements of mechanics are beginning to be taught. However, mechanics occupies an auxiliary position in relation to technology.

They are distinguished by a really palatial magnificence of vestibules and underground halls. Stations of the capital Metro are the monuments of architecture inseparably linked with history of Moscow and the whole country in which all stages of development of national architecture were embodied. "Mayakovskaya" is considered one of the most beautiful stations. "Revolution Square", "Kropotkinskaya", "Komsomolskaya" (belt-line), "Novoslobodskaya" and others are considered the most interesting architectural monuments of 1930—50 th . Over twenty kinds of marble, labradorite, granite, porphyry, rhodonite, onyx and other breeds of building stone were used in Moscow Metro construction. Underground complexes are decorated by statues and reliefs, monumental and decoration compositions (painting, mosaic, stained-glass windows and lists) of art directors of the country. Architects and builders of Moscow underground aspired to create not only comfortable conditions for passengers, but also to give an individual shape to each station. * Information from "Touristic Information Center" Ticket type Period of validity Price (RUB) Tickets for a limited number of rides: 1 ride 40 5 days, incl. day of purchase 2 rides 80 5 rides 160 11 rides 90 days, incl. day of purchase 320 20 rides 540 Smart cards for unlimited number of rides: 1-day smart card 24 hours after the first activation 210 All tickets and smart cards purchased in ticket offices are non-returnable and non-exchangeable. www.engl.mosmetro.ru .

    Foreword from the head of Moscow Metro 3 Events of the year 4 Performance indicators 20 Metro staff 30 Development and technical upgrade 44 Safety and security 50 International activity 56 Future development 62 1 The year 2012 can certainly be described as a year of great accomplishments, including the opening of new stations, reconstruction of existing facilities and metro technical systems. This year we have introduced a new section “Novogireevo” – “Novokosino” on the Kalininskaya line”, that allows now quick, convenient and reliable mode of transport to be provided to almost 200,000 inhabitants of the district. Besides, the metro map shows the long-awaited station ”Alma-Atinskaya” on the Zamoskvoretskaya line and the station “Pyatnitskoye shosse” in the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Foreword from the head line. The future of Moscow transport system is unthinkable without development of the metro, which plays a key role in the city’s public transport of Moscow Metro system. The Moscow Metro management carries out all the changes planned and appointed by the Moscow Government by paying as much attention to the demand of Muscovites and guests of the capital as possible. By 2020, 67 new stations are planned to be constructed. At present, we prioritize the construction of the Exterior interchange circuit line with the phased commissioning of line sections, the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line from station “Maryina roshcha” to the northern areas of the city by 2015. Also the construction of the new Kozhukhovskaya line from the station “Aviamotornaya” to the station “Nekrasovka. By 2017, the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya line will be formed and operated between the station “Novokosino” and the districts, Solntsevo and Novo-Peredelkino.

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.
