National Aviation Center Zhukovsky

The National Aviation Centre is situated on the grounds of the Gromov Aerodrome in Ramenskoe just outside of Moscow. This terrain is home to the bi-annual MAKS international air show and an important Russian aircraft and spacecraft research institute. It is the client’s objective to add a building to the premises which matches the level of sophisticated technologies typical for aviation and to realise a project which symbolises the past and future achievements of the Russian aviation industry. The new building makes reference to the aesthetics of bird wings and the aerodynamics of aircrafts. Light, sharp and elegant in appearance, two roofs span two main exhibition halls. These halls are connected with an in between multifunctional foyer. The trilogy of exhibition halls and foyer allow for a series of different events in different scales such as auto salon, fashion events, sit down diners and presentations, which makes the building usable all year round. A semi separate volume houses a VIP business airport, VIP areas and a press centre. The building will be predominantly executed in concrete, steel with smooth white synthetic and glass finishes and will introduce a comfortable and human scale to the large open terrain which extends over several square kilometres of space.
