Now there is a large construction site at the intersection of Filimonova Street and Independence Avenue. By the end of 2018, a multifunctional public and business complex "Gazprom Center" will grow there. About what it will be like, we asked the Deputy Chairman of the Belarusian Union of Architects, Chief Architect of the branch for the construction of the complex of Gazprom Transgaz Belarus, Mikhail Gaukhfeld.

“This tower will not spoil the view of the library”

If the construction of office buildings in the center and along Independence Avenue does not stop, then in 5-10 years the center of Minsk and the avenue will stop and drown in traffic jams, - Mikhail Lvovich immediately intrigued. - This is a factor to consider when placing large office, retail and residential buildings. The more we place them in the center, along the avenues, the more likely it is that they will turn from front doors, pedestrians, as was conceived in the 1950s, into highways with traffic jams. We urgently need to build bypass ring highways around the center and understudies of Independence Avenue. This is the main problem of urban planning in Minsk today.

In order to partially solve the problem, Minsk city planners back in the 80s conceived the creation of two large business centers, but not in the city center, but in places with convenient transport accessibility at the intersection of ring and radial highways. The first such center is around the National Library, the second one is on the site of the old Minsk-1 airport.

Judging by the experience of building Mayak Minsk, where a business center was conceived, but a residential complex is being built, there are fears that the same thing could happen to the territory of the former Minsk-1 airport.

- Will it not happen to the Gazprom complex?

No, this will definitely not happen, there will be no residential buildings there. This is a modern business center.

- Is there any fear that Gazprom's skyscraper will outshine the National Library? She will be much taller.

No, the library is located in such a way that there is a large free park area around it; in any case, it will look like the center of the ensemble. The Gazprom Tower was deliberately moved away from the avenue so that when leaving the city center the National Library could be seen from all points. However, as an architect, I cannot but say that one urban planning mistake has been made. Alas, the Dana Mall office building closed the library from the entrance to the city ...

"A unique project and "green" technologies"

- This building is one of the most discussed. Many people are afraid that Gazprom's skyscraper and skyscrapers will not stand out from the uniform appearance of the avenue?

The Gazprom complex was placed in accordance with the general plan of the city - both as a business center and as one of the high-rise buildings. Urban planners plan that similar centers will appear in other parts of the city, where they are provided for by the general plan, in order to give the capital the look of a modern European capital.

The Gazprom complex is an example of business centers that are currently being built in major cities around the world. And the case when an investor is not going to save every penny, but wants to get a modern world-class facility. The numbers are not a secret. Gazprom plans to invest about $500 million in the construction of the office and multifunctional complex. Of course, the amount may change during the construction process.

What is so unique about this building? Besides money?

First, it is the largest international project. Many Russian, Belarusian and international companies will come here. It contains interesting architectural and engineering solutions. As is already known, the tallest building in Minsk will be here, and the latest technologies will be used for its construction.

Secondly, there will be other interesting solutions. So, in the center of the complex there will be an amphitheater for a thousand seats. His stage is a fountain, but flat, if necessary, it can easily be turned into a stage. Concerts and festivals will be held here. And in winter, the fountain-stage will turn into a skating rink. In the stylobate part of the complex (usually the basement of one or the common basement of several buildings. - Auth.) A unique congress center with transformable halls was designed - the main one for 900 seats and five small ones for a total of 800 seats. In addition to congresses and conferences, it will be possible to hold concerts, exhibitions and other events. There are no similar halls in Minsk yet. As part of the complex, a parking lot for almost 1,500 cars has been designed, which, unlike other business centers in Minsk, will create really comfortable conditions for employees and visitors. All innovations are difficult to enumerate.

The Moscow Gazprom complex is exclusively business, and the entrance there is with passes. Minsk will be available to everyone. At the top of the tower there will be a four-story restaurant of different price categories. There will be no helipad because the building is gabled. It is provided on the territory of the complex.

Construction is carried out according to "green" technologies, that is, with the maximum use of renewable energy sources. The complex will even have its own energy center, where electricity, heat and cold will be obtained from gas using the most modern technologies for the needs of the entire complex. This means that it will not depend much on the city's thermal power plants and other things.

- What does it mean "the design of the complex is carried out simultaneously with the construction"?

Even 10 years ago, it was assumed that construction could be carried out, roughly speaking, right from the picture. Having broken firewood at many objects, everyone realized that it was impossible to build from a sketch. It is necessary to make a full-fledged architectural project, and when it is agreed upon and passes the state examination, further phased design can be carried out in parallel with construction. This is more difficult, but everyone understands that such a large complex would have to be designed for another three years. And then - to approve, and only then to build.

“Decoupling aesthetically became somewhat worse. But it's cheaper."

- What will happen to the denouement? Either there is money for it, or not ...

Gazprom finances 50% of the construction cost of the interchange and has already paid for everything under the contract. Naturally, before signing the investment agreement, preliminary amounts were announced. But it so happened that the agreed amount, after the first version of the outcome was prepared, was exceeded several times. It is clear that the city itself could not pay for the proposed interchange option. Therefore, Minskinzhproekt redid the project. As a result, the cost of elevated overpasses has been reduced. I can say that if earlier the flyover was about 150 m, now it has been reduced to a size that allows Filimonova Street to be opened under the avenue, as is done at other interchanges. The underground pedestrian crossings under the avenue were removed. It is clear that aesthetically and functionally it has become somewhat worse. The unique footbridge across Filimonova Street is also gone. Minsk residents will cross the road along the zebra across the avenue and Filimonova street. A part of the park territory of the Slepyanskaya water system also went under the denouement.

ONLY NUMBERS

The total area of ​​the site on which the Gazprom Center will be built is 8.27 hectares, which is approximately 12 football fields.

Building area - 4.5 hectares.

To start construction, 480,000 cubic meters of soil had to be excavated. For comparison: in order to start the construction of the Stolitsa shopping center (now the deepest building in Minsk), 460,000 cubic meters of land were removed from Independence Square.

The depth of the pit for Gazprom Center is 12 meters. It could fit not the smallest lake by Belarusian standards.

The area of ​​all buildings to be built in the Gazprom Center complex is 264,000 m². For comparison: the total area of ​​the building of the National Library is 113.7 thousand m².

The height of the Gazprom tower will be 189 m, while the height of the Parus skyscraper under construction, which is now called the highest in Minsk, is only 133 m. And that, together with the antenna.

DETAILS

There will be a shopping street and a park around the tower

The buildings in the Gazprom Center complex promise to be unique both in terms of architecture and in terms of the organization of urban and office space. It will be a mini-city where Minsk residents can work, relax, play sports... The idea of ​​the project was created by an international company, NBBJ, one of the most innovative in the field of architecture and design, with offices in China, the USA and the UK.

The center of the composition will be a glazed tower 189 meters high. It will become the tallest building in Belarus. The skyscraper will be surrounded by five buildings of 12-15 floors. Together they will resemble the silhouette of a torch, the symbol of a Gazprom Group company.

It will house the company's headquarters, office buildings, a hotel complex with a congress center, a sports center with swimming pools, saunas, gyms, a rooftop tennis court, a medical diagnostic center with unique equipment, a children's education center with a museum, a shopping street with boutiques and catering establishments, parking for 1500 cars.

The mini-city will include a shopping street, an amphitheater, a recreation area, ground and underground parking lots, cafe-restaurants.

Between the complex and Independence Avenue, a continuation of the park along the Slepyanskaya water system will be created.

The tallest buildings in Belarus are not in Minsk. So, TV towers are leading here in Slonim, in the village of Kolodishchi near Minsk, in Ushachi and near Mogilev. The height of each of them is 350 meters. The highest point of the country is the Holy (Dzerzhinskaya) mountain - 345 meters.

A building height record has been updated in Belarus. The tallest building is the 32-storey Parus skyscraper under construction, which is being built in Minsk at the corner of Kalvariyskaya, Klara Zetkin, Timiryazev and Maxim Tank streets. Its height is already 100.4 meters. The total height of the constructed building will be 133 meters, since a metal structure "Sail" will be installed at the top.

"Now the 30th floor is being completed. The height from ground level to the floor of the uppermost floor, except for penthouses, will be 104 meters. One floor (three meters) and two ceilings (0.3 meters each) remain to be completed to this height," the statement said. in the Iterabelstroy company, which is the developer of the house.

Smorgon: The temple in Smorgon is an original monument of Renaissance architecture. It was built as a Calvin collection (temple) in 1606-1612. (according to other sources, in 1553); known as a church since 1617. The plan is an extended octahedron. The inner space is covered with a spherical dome, the base of which is masked by an attic richly decorated on all sides with spatulas and paired semicircular niches and weights.

Synkovichi:Church of St. Michael the Archangel.beginning of the 16th century The architectural appearance of the church contains details of ancient Russian and Gothic architecture - an architectural belt, two eastern round towers at the level of the lower tier. Currently, a trip to Synkovichi is included in most tourist programs aimed not only at ordinary holidays in Belarus, but also such as “Ecotourism in Belarus”, “Weekend holidays in Belarus” (or “Weekend holidays in Belarus”), “ Active Leisure in Belarus”, “Children's Recreation in Belarus” and many other programs involving tourism and recreation in Belarus.

Borisov: The Holy Resurrection Cathedral (1874, architect P. Merkulov) with a bell tower (1907, architect V. Struev) stands in the middle of the Borisov market square. The cathedral was built in the spirit of pseudo-Russian architecture. The monument is distinguished by high artistic qualities, colorfulness, and its three-dimensional composition with a developed multi-dome favorably differs from the neighboring ordinary buildings.

The Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity is located in the historical place of the city of Borisov. Nearby are the historical object of the war of 1812 "Batteries", the Borisov United State Museum, a monument to the crew of the tank Pavel Rak, an automobile bridge across the Berezina.



Budslav: In the chapel of St. Barbara, built in 1643, preserved unique wooden altar 1643-1647, and in the church itself there is an icon of 1598, donated by Pope Clement XVIII.

The Bernardine Church, shrouded in the spirit of Belarusian late baroque architecture, attracts tourists from all over Belarus, provides an opportunity to experience a true holiday in Belarus.

Volozhin: The palace complex consists of two-storey buildings. At present, it is quite difficult to imagine the original appearance of the complex. The architecture of the complex corresponded to the requirements of classicism: skillfully, neatly executed elements of the order system, laconic framing of openings, developed porticos. Characteristic of classicism is the composition of the facades of the complex: it is built on the rich plasticity of the central portico and the contrast of ascetic side wings.

At the same time, a wooden church, a synagogue, shopping malls, a church with a belfry gate, etc. were being built in Volozhin.

Dudutki- one of the most visited museums in Belarus, the museum of ancient folk crafts and technologies, is located 40 kilometers from Minsk, in a picturesque place near the Ptich River. The guests of the complex are always happy to offer an acquaintance with the way of the lord's court, the work of masters who recreate ancient technologies in action, the culinary heritage of our ancestors, the enchanting nature of the Minsk region, and the amazing wildlife. Today Dudutka Museum includes several complexes - a craft yard with a mini-exposition of folk life and a forge, a stable and a zoo, a garage with retro cars, the only windmill in Belarus, the wooden church of St. John the Prophet. 14 meter mill Dutch type was built in 1903-05. brothers Mikhail and Ivan Polyakov in the village of Berezovka, Gomel region.



Zhodino: The city has 20 monuments of history and culture, including the bust of the Hero of the Soviet Union P. I. Kupriyanov, monuments to V. I. Lenin, mass graves of partisans and Red Army soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War, memorial plaques in memory of scientists, directors of BelAZ and Zhodino underground workers. Among the city's sights, the most famous monument is the "Mother-Patriot", dedicated to A.F. Kupriyanova and her five sons who died in the Great Patriotic War. Zhodino annually hosts concerts, competitions, festivals, festivities with the participation of amateur art groups, 13 of which bear the honorary title of "folk" and "exemplary". The Automaker's Day is celebrated especially widely in Zhodino. Zhodino is a young city, it has few architectural sights, but sports and agrotourism flourishes here. The doors of the Zhodino Museum of Local Lore, the Museum named after Kupriyanov P.I. are open for tourists.

Zaslavl: The landmark of Zaslavl is the Church of the Transfiguration, built in the middle of the 16th-17th centuries. on the territory of the castle, surrounded by its ramparts. At first it was a Calvinist temple, and then in the 60s of the XIX century. The building was turned into an Orthodox church. The castle with the temple was declared a historical and archaeological reserve in 1967, and a branch of the Belarusian State Historical Museum was located inside the restored Church of the Transfiguration. In the 1990s the building was transferred to the church, in the late 1990s it was badly damaged by fire, at the beginning of the 21st century. the renovation was completed.

Ivenets: The Museum of Traditional Culture in Ivenets was established back in 1957, but the specifics of the museum were somewhat different. And this becomes clear already from the original name of the museum: the memorial museum of F.E. Dzerzhinsky. However, in the 1990s, the museum began to collect and study objects of folk art, traditional crafts, customs and traditions of the inhabitants of the region. Which ultimately led to the fact that in January 2006 the Dzerzhinsky Museum in Ivenets was renamed the Ivenets Museum of Traditional Culture. The Museum of Traditional Culture in Ivenets is located in a building that is an architectural monument of the early 20th century (the building was built in the 1930s). The main activity of the museum today is connected not only with the expansion of the museum funds, but also with the revival and preservation of traditional folk crafts and crafts of the Ivenets region. Today, the museum has more than 18 thousand museum exhibits.

Logoisk: In 1815, Count Piy Felitsianovich Tyshkevich built a two-story stone palace in the style of classicism in the Logoisk estate. In the manor yard there was a "cooking room", an icehouse, a stall, a vase and other outbuildings. A park was established around the palace. The temple was erected on the site of the Catholic Church of St. Casimir, destroyed in the middle of the 20th century, which was located on the site of the former family church of the Tyszkiewicz tomb.

Minsk: Holy Spirit Cathedral. The cathedral (former church of the Bernardines) and the monastery on Bakunin Street, founded in 1642 (completed in the 18th century), are interesting monuments of old Minsk. Baroque.

Obelisk of Victory. The obelisk on Victory Square in Minsk was erected on July 4, 1954 in memory of Soviet soldiers and partisans during the Great Patriotic War.

1. Our trip around Minsk started from the roof, which is located right next to the station. After a short rest from the train, we immediately decided to break several local laws and climbed higher.

2. Here we spent the sunset and headed for Nemiga. Nemiga is the very center of Minsk, where all the state authorities of the Republic of Belarus are concentrated.

4. It was very cold without sleeping bags and foam, so we decided to continue climbing.

5. A very beautiful tower next to the Ministry of Defense. In Russia, the appearance on the roof next to the Ministry of Defense promises big problems, but in Minsk, no one cares.

6. Our first fuse occurred on it, climbing down the fire escape, a military man noticed us. After waiting for us to get down, he began to call to himself. The funny thing about this situation is that he stood still, and really waited for us to come up. Is it not customary in Minsk to run away from the military, police, etc.? He must have been shocked that the perpetrators ran away from him.

8. Trinity suburb and TV tower.

9. Island of Tears and the Svisloch River.

10. Sports Palace and indoor skating rink.

12. Improvisation as kirbase. We climb into the hotel "Belarus" which is currently under reconstruction.

13. Climbing onto the roof of the hotel is very simple, you need to climb the gas pipe 8 meters, open the window to the hotel itself, and climb 20 floors up the stairs. After all these actions, you will find yourself on the roof.

14. Which offers, perhaps, the best view of the city.

15. Victory Park, Komsomolskoye Lake.

16. Victory Square.

18. National Library of the Republic of Belarus.

20. A beautiful clock tower right in front of the main KGB building. No security or alarm systems.

22. This is perhaps our best overnight stay for the whole trip. The turret is warm, clean, and most importantly, there is food.

24. Independence Square.

25. House of the Government of the Republic of Belarus, sitting here somewhere. Any sniper can easily get in here.

26. An underground shopping center "Capital" was built under the square, just like we have on Manezhnaya!

27. Church of Saints Simeon and Helena.

28. Dynamo Olympic Stadium.

29. I decided to sleep a little on the lighting mast.

33. Night walk to the Minsk metrostroy for the construction of the continuation of the Moscow line, at the station Mikhalovo-Grushevka-Institute Kultury (active).

34. It turned out to be very easy to get into the tunnels, there was no one at the construction site at night, and most of the trunks leading to the metro construction did not even have a fence.

The tallest skyscraper in the country is being erected in Minsk: what it will be like and what is happening on the site today?

Chronicle of construction

  • June-November 2014 - dismantling of buildings and structures at the site of the future complex, the beginning of engineering and geological surveys and preparing the territory for construction.
  • March 2015 - we started arranging the pit and strengthening it using the "wall in the ground" method.
  • Summer-autumn 2015 is the start of the main period of construction: the beginning of the construction of a hotel with a congress center, the construction of a pile foundation for a high-rise building.
  • Spring 2016 — installation of foundation slabs for the energy center and administrative buildings.

The first Belarusian skyscraper will stand on 306 piles 29.5 meters high and a foundation slab 2.5 meters thick. In the creation of this design, the builders are provided with scientific support services by several specialized institutes.

With my own eyes

And here we are at the site. Closer to the prospect on the site there will be a hotel with a congress center and a high-rise headquarters of the companies of the Gazprom group. It is here that the construction process has advanced the most: the monolithic structures of the hotel with the congress center are already growing. In the underground level, two floors are ready, work is currently underway on the first ground floor.

And at the site of the high-rise building, a pile field has been made, now preparations are underway for pouring the foundation slab. The foundation of one of the 4 office buildings is also ready.

An underground two-level parking will be made under the entire complex for guests and employees of the multifunctional center - over a thousand parking spaces. A small surface parking lot for emergency vehicles and taxis is also planned. There is a transport corridor around the entire perimeter of the site, which will facilitate logistics.

“The complex according to the project is designed so that each building can work autonomously,” explains Alexander Rudak, Deputy Head of the Production Department of the branch Office for Arranging the Construction of the Multifunctional Complex of OAO Gazprom Transgaz Belarus. - Own energy center will provide all objects with heat, water and other things. But each building has its own distribution nodes, so the commissioning of one does not depend on the others. The parking lot is also divided into compartments, that is, in fact, each building has its own. The complex will have three entrances and exits: the main one from Independence Avenue near the weather station, the second one from Filimonova Street from the side of the interchange, and the third one from residential buildings on Filimonova Street.

Now about 200 people are constantly working at the construction site in three shifts. So far, there are three tower cranes, three more will be installed in the near future, then there will be more of them. Technique appears as needed. Contractors are mostly Belarusian. For example, all concrete work is carried out by Minskpromstroy OJSC, with the exception of the energy center building, which is being built by a Serbian company. The foundation of the administrative part of this structure has already been poured. At the same time, there is a competition to select the general contractor for the entire complex.

According to the specialist, in 2017, when the installation of engineering networks, facades, and building finishing will begin, the number of workers on the site can reach from 1,600 to 4,000 people.

— Did the difficult economic situation affect the implementation of the project?

- Since the complex is large and complex, and the architectural project was created in less than a year, then not all decisions had time to scrupulously work out. Therefore, now each node is being examined in detail, something is changing, something is being added, much attention is paid to security, access systems to different parts of the complex, communication systems. For example, visitors will be able to go through the lobby of a high-rise building, get into a bank, take an elevator to a restaurant with a panoramic view of the city, but will not be able to enter the office premises of the Gazprom Group companies. At the same time, the fundamental points laid down in the project initially remained. This is an interesting technology for the collection and use of rainwater, an original fire extinguishing system. The high-rise building itself is also unusual - each floor is unique in configuration and area, it has complex glass facades. We are consulted by international construction companies.

We were satisfied with the use of the excavation fencing technology using the "wall in the ground" method. Our structure is almost a kilometer long, which is unique in itself. Work to strengthen the foundation pit and create a pile foundation for a high-rise building was carried out by the Russian company Geoizol.

- According to the initial terms, the entire complex is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2018. Is there an order in which objects are entered?

- Conditional, based on the logic of construction: first a skyscraper and a hotel with a congress center, then three office buildings and the last block - another administrative building, medical and sports centers. But according to the project, the construction of a skyscraper will take the longest period.

Gazprom Center is a multifunctional complex of nine buildings located in three lines. In terms of concept, silhouette and color scheme, it will be associated with a gas torch, the symbol of the Gazprom Group. The first line is a 189-meter skyscraper of the original form, which will become the headquarters of the companies of the Gazprom group. At the very top of the tower there will be a multi-level restaurant with an observation platform. The second line of the complex is four 12-15-storey office buildings and a hotel with a congress center. The third is sports and medical centers, its own energy center. On the inner square between the buildings there is an amphitheater and a shopping area.

Viewing the city from a bird's eye view is always interesting. The only pity is that the number of places where you can enjoy the views is very limited. Beautiful landscapes certainly open from the upper floors of the residential complex "Kaskad", from the penthouses of "Sails", "Slavyansky Quarter" or "House near Troitsky", but only the owners of the apartments or their guests can enjoy them.

Komsomolskaya Pravda has compiled a list of observation platforms that you can visit with a tour, buy a ticket, or just come to a high-rise cafe or restaurant.

There are open booths and closed ones. The latter are better to choose in cold weather - in the summer on a sunny day they are like in a greenhouse. However, you can’t spin in open booths - the chairs in them are oriented only in one direction. The wheel makes a complete revolution in 8 minutes. During this time, you need to have time to consider the circus, the unfinished Kempinski building, the Svisloch embankment with the General Staff building, the silhouette of the presidential residence on Marx.
