Dividing the plot into smaller blocks creates the opportunity to accommodate the pedestrian, car-free routes. This lead ultimately to strong commercial centres, where pedestrians have a comfortable route through the city.

A larger space amongst the block creates a pedestrian friendly plaza accommodating public activities and creating a comfortable space. Around are located smaller boxes for restaurants and bars

The perimeter blocks secure the privacy and safety inside them. Courtyard space is dedicated to the inhabitants of the perimeter block and can be adapted to their own needs.

Commercial program takes over almost the entire ground floor beneath the housing. The transparent plinth works collectively with the surrounding and provides the experience on an urban level.

Adaptable system for the housing typology creates the diverse and vibrant neighbourhood where privacy and public, community and individuality meet all together.

The shared spaces enhance the social interactions between the inhabitants. They are spread around the buildings offering all sorts of different activities for the users.

Roof terraces are dedicated only to the building users. They provide an extra outdoor spaces with a possibility of an urban farming, solar energy production and the outstanding views towards the city.

The school is a part of the perimeter block, facing both - the safety and calmness of an enclosed courtyard space and the accessibility and vibrancy of an urban square.

Despite the huge opportunity, annual allowable cut is utilized by only some 30% across the country, mainly due to the lack of accessibility of these stocks, a lack of forest roads and difficult terrain. The key is to ensure access to resources without threatening natural ecosystem equilibrium. Northwestern, Ural and Siberian regions hold the biggest potential of development nearby existing infrastructures and densely populated areas of the country.

The model proposed is based on the central model, timber volumes required to construct housing is higher than the other models and therefore more attractive for the forestry industries. Moreover, the biggest sawmills of the country are located nearby the main cities. The linear process between harvesting, processing and mounting of timber elements is already connected by the existing railway infrastructure. All the elements are there, only the trigger is missing.

Existing railway infrastructures cover most of the densely populated areas of the country. The expansion of timber harvesting is tightly linked to infrastructures. Once connected to this network, it is then easy to reach main cities of the country, and therefore the consumers of the construction timber produce. Gradually, the railway network can be expended to provide accessibility and long term vision for forestry industries to incentives private long term investment.

Our design makes mass timber housing not only a viability in Russia, but can significantly improve the housing quality for potentially millions of users. Our proposal looks at new ways to engage with the Russian cultural heritage and the way communities are formed on a multi-tude of scales. Russia can make a significant step into a more sustainable, social and affordable future for city residents all over the world. The future is SUPERFRAME.

Russia has the world’s largest timber deposit in terms of forest area. It represents one forth of the world’s reserves of wood, which constitutes a huge economical opportunity for the country that is currently under-used. Although, the market is already strongly developed. Sectors included in the timber industry, as part of the Russian industrial production are in seventh place in terms of production and fifth in terms of exports.

We wish to incentivize an entire timber industry, in the forms a giant stimulus, through construction whilst reversing climate change in the process. For every cubic meter of wood we construct our buildings with, we essentially store a ton of CO2. The city essentially becomes a giant Carbon dioxide battery. In typical concrete 20 storey tower 1200 tons of Co2 are added to the atmosphere, however a mass timber tower of same size, with advancements in CLT and glu-lam and can sequest 3,100 tons! This is the most viable option to date to reverse climate change.

We believe the future is held in a single standardized building connection. We envision a world, where users can choose from a vast everincreasing catalogue, from a variety of independent manufactures and distributors, their own façade which responds to their own specific needs, desires and climate. And all held in a single frame work, which we call the SUPERFRAME.

The future is driven by scale.

The construction of 900M square meters of housing is far more than a purely design question. Sustainability and economic envisions are fundamental and indivisible. The use of local resources to its best goes along incentivising local jobs and national market growth. Timber as a construction resource encapsulates environmental assets and local economic development, based on a solid growing market. If we have to imagine the city of the future it would be in timber. Russia has everything to make it happen : resources, infrastructures, industries, opportunities.

How can cities provide individuality, variety and complexity in an age where the architectural project is constructed by a single big developer? How can architecture respond specifically to the user when an economic model favours mass production over bespoke craft? How can we create communities, in the age of the internet, and an age with less social inter-dependencies? What does real sustainable construction look like, and how can it benefit the city?

WORKSHOP

KIDS ROOM

Do It Yourself! In this place you can make or fix your furniture, bike, equipment by using the communal tools that are available here. If you do not know how to fix it yourself? Ask some of the residents, there is always someone with the skills to teach you.

In this room parents can leave their children with other children and parents while you do the groceries for instance. In this way children from different ages can learn how to play together, when the weather does not allow to play outside in the courtyard.

The creativity of residents to self-express their identity to the outer world, as a response to the overrepresented homogeneity and rigidity of the Soviet Union housing blocks, can be viewed as physical and cultural heritage. In this new urban block, this idea of self-expression is extrapolated by the possibility to change the window frames, to incorporate add-ons to their balconies and to express interiors. This need of selfexpression should be addressed as the base of new mass housing development. We propose two levels if identity: the first one is the one on the level of the urban scale, a collective identity. The timber super frames are very recognizable and display the highly sustainable ambition of the project. The second one is the individual one; a facade module that is personal and fulfils the wishes of the resident. The modules are adaptable to its context and climatic conditions, easy to replace and thereby secured of an optimal performance. Within each urban block, several shared spaces are created. The residents have access to all kommunalka’s, they can collectively agree on which amenities are desirable so a diverse spectrum of spaces can be created. It could include a carpentry workshop, ateliers, a co-working space, catering kitchen, day-care centre, anything you like. Moreover, there are also spaces to be used by nonresidents of the urban block, we call these spaces the “free rooms”; unassigned, unfinished spaces for communal, social, or cultural projects. These free rooms maintain the open character of the project at the juncture of living and urban development: inclusive for all. Apartments layouts follow a unique predefined grid easing the adaptation of floor plans. Units can be combined horizontally to form bigger apartments flexible building layout has been though to make it easy to switch from residential to nonresidential use. In order to provide mix-use in the development and therefore increase the attraction for developers while providing complexity, and then life, into neighbourhoods.

The private homes are built around a common area that encourages interaction: the kummunalka. These intentional neighbourhoods invite residents to be “neighbourly” and stay socially active. Residents can corroboratively plan communal activities, meals and can share amities. All urban blocks include different common spaces like a kitchen, a meeting space, while others have a greenhouse, a pool, day-care, or a workshop! What will naturally happen when neighbours get to know each other well, is a helping hand of your neighbour when you occasionally need help for instance helping elderly and children. This social security and helping hand takes away a lot of service that otherwise should have come from external services.

FITNESS

GREEN HOUSE

PLAY ROOM

LIBRARY

Here you can have a great evening watching a movie with friend, without disturbing any neighbours since these wall consist of extra insulation.

Excess to the fitness room is free for residents. It is place where you can do sports inside or gather with other residents to do sports outside in the courtyard or in the neighbourhood.

For all the green fingers in the house, the green house is a room where you can grow your own plants and let vegetables and fruits grow for the whole urban block.

This space is meant for different kind of games for children ánd adults. Board games on different levels are able for the residents which makes it possible for all the residents to spend some free time here.

The library is runned by and for residents, where they can exchange, leave and take books. A quit place where you can read or study together or alone.

The Superframe model is included in its direct environment. Orientation of the urbans is adaptable to foster daylight autonomy and sun energy. Floor plans are adjustable to exploit sun light. While facades performances are responding to local climate, building’s systems take advantages of the regional environmental assets of the projected site. The use of renewable energies goes along the overall environmental strategy and what makes Superframe a strong and flexible proposal to develop the city of the future. The base proposal offers a large variety of combination of the three building typologies. The purpose of showcasing possibilities is to show the adaptability of the system proposed to different preexisting urban conditions, various local environment to fit in and contrasted values the newly developed area should bring in. Apartments layouts follow a unique predefined grid easing the adaptation of floor plans. Units can be combined horizontally to form bigger apartments flexible building layout has been though to make it easy to switch from residential to non-residential use. In order to provide mix-use in the development and therefore increase the attractivity for developers while providing COMPLEXITY, and then life, into neighbourhoods.
