DIILER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO TO BRING 'WILD URBANISM' TO RED SQUARE

摘要

Let's hope that history smiles more favorably on Diller Scofidio + Renfro than it did on poor Petrok Maly. That Italian-born architect designed the Kitay-gorod wall, one of the oldest markers in Moscow, back in the 16th century. Maly, who likely knew the location of every secret chamber built underneath the wall and its towers, disappeared from Russian history a year after the wall's construction.Several centuries later, Diller Scofidio + Renfro is bringing something else to Zaryadye, a historic Moscow district once enclosed by the Kitay-gorod: transparency and walkability. A community raided by Tartars in the 14th century and razed by the Soviets in 1935, Zaryadye will return to its roots as a principal thoroughfare under the New York firm's plan.
