Arch Moscow 2025

As part of the anniversary XXX international exhibition and forum of architecture and design Arch Moscow 2025, a discussion was held: "How to ensure the effective implementation of an expressive, technically complex architectural idea. Eternal challenges - how have they changed over the past 5 years." Its subject was the current issue of the cost of implementing non-standard architectural solutions, including facade solutions, and the role of the architect in the correct assessment of the budget for their implementation, optimization of nodal and material solutions, work with manufacturers and installation organizations, including on the subject of correct assessment of the cost of implementing design solutions. Everything was shown using the example of real work by LABVA PRO, implemented both in Moscow and in the cities of the Moscow region, taking into account that the budgets for the implementation of projects in these very different entities vary greatly, but the level of architecture of facade solutions, despite this, is quite comparable. This is the leading role of the architect, who is able to achieve effective expressiveness not by using very expensive solutions and materials, but by deep analysis, rethinking patterns and searching for non-standard approaches in dialogue with manufacturers. All this was outlined in the speech of the head of LABVA PRO Stanislav Vsevolodovich Kulish. The discussion was also attended by the Chief Architect of the Moscow Region Alexandra Kuzmina and representatives of leading practicing architectural firms in Moscow.
