Brad said he was not sure the pictures were good enough to represent Moscow to international audienece, but gave me permission to repost them anyway

To be honest Moscow doesn't win my heart to much, at least not during winter... Not enough green, to much gray and dull browns... save for the last few pictures.

Anyone have late spring-early summer shots?

Staff, I never get tired of that pano of yours!

@Brad, you, sir, have some of the sickest Moscow shots around.

Moscow is gonna be off the hook in 2011 - just look at those skyscrapers! Moscow really is an incredible city from many angles. A place I must get to as soon as possible.

I love this pic. Is it a park within Moscow or a wilderness area outside of it? Because if that is a park then it is an incredible one and I must say puts Central Park to shame.

Moscow is very big and full of interesting places, such as parks, mostly neglected by western visitors. Moscow parks worth attention are Botanical Garden, VDNKh, Sokolniki, Izmajlovo, Losinyj Ostrov, Kuskovo, Kuzminki, Kolomesnkoe, Tsaritsyno, Neskuchnyj Sad, and others. This one is known as Krylatskie Holmy.

These banks of Moscow river are well within city limits but much closer to the city edge than to the center. The very first pic in this thread is a panorama by Brad.

This park does not put Central Park to shame simply because they are way too different in location, complexion, sheer size, etc. A comparison with Bois de Boulogne in Paris would be more relevant IMO.

a view out of his window; not really a skyline shot, but shows the scope of construction of the skyline... those 5 story buildings buried in the trees are living their last months, the 9-story tower will probably live a few years more

This Thread is absolutely Amazing.

10-08-2007, 02:43 AM

Thanks for the kind words Magnus.

Magnus, the obvious answer to your question - because Brad had started the thread here. :)

In the end, since Brad is the thread starter, it is up to him to request moving it anywhere if he wanted to do so for some reason.

However, both myself and Brad have been updating this thread with pics made by various people, so it hardly belongs to "My City Photos" section.

Moreover, I think there is nothing wrong with having this thread here - people who have discovered it and found that they like it will come back to Euro section to check what is new, and this will hopefully liven up this section.

If you like this thered, you may want to check out other threads I maintain, such as Russia (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=135686) here in the Euro section

thread Moscow (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=138852) in "Found City Photos"

and Moscow IBC Rising (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=125731) in "Found City Photos"

The latter thread "Moscow IBC Rising" contains predominantly shots of the International Businees Center, many of them taken from relatively short distances or shots showing the construction site. Most of them IMO do not qualify as "skyline" shots. This thread, on the opposite, is devoted predominatly to skyline, i.e to shots of highrises taken from a distance (plus, skyline in Moscow does not always involve IBC). When posting to both threads I try to avoid dupilcation so that people would not assume that it enough to visit one of them. There is some duplication, but I try to avoid it.

If these pics make you curious about Russia, I cannot avoid advertising Photosection (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=439) from "Russia" on SSC Forum. This is anyway where I cherry pick >90% of the photos shown in the above threads. But there is a lot more there worthwhile IMO.

overall, what we have here is a lot of high-rises and mid-rises and not much of skyline (fog does not help)... but anybody who preaches "density" as a virtue should be satisfied; there are a number of scrapers U/C in these pics that will probably make a decent skyline when there are completed

Does anyone has a good render of the Moscow International Financial or Business CenteR?? because I haven't found one, all are very bad renders, I would like to see a more real one..
By the way,.. very good pics of the MIFD

anm

11-14-2007, 04:15 AM

you are correct, JOSSZZ, there is no definitive render

early renders are sketchy, plus they are wrong because many buildings went through significant design changes

later renders are wrong because every time any buliding is changed/new one is introduced - the investor/builder of this particular building makes a render of the IBC that shows off their own building but greatly simplifies and even distorts competing projects; such renders even now are frequently based on obsolete versions of many buildings

so, there is no up-to-date render

These are CHPs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration). The water vapor from Cooling towers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower) is quite more visible when the temperature is below 0 °C.

An odd sight to see all those chimneys in the core of the city

Moscow, as I am sure you know, is northern-most megapolice of 15mln people, and probably the coldest too. There are a number of big heat/electricity generating plants in the city, but only one of them- the one on Kievskaja embarkment is anywhere close to historical city center.

http://corshun.ru/2lj/26big.jpg

autor: http://metro-rumata.livejournal.com/
taken from: http://metro-rumata.livejournal.com/120890.html

Even this plant is well outside Garden Ring, but it is close to Hotel Ukraina, IBC and Moscow State U, so it does get in a lot of pictures.

Good news - most of these chimneys do not emit much toxic stuff - mostly CO2 and water vapor. Bad news - these chimneys on Kievskaja do interfere with skyline. It is technically possible to clean the emissions and release them from much lower chimneys, but it would cost some $$, and I have no idea if fathers of the city consider doing away with Kievskaja chimneys any time soon for aesthetic reasons.
