In my project I tried to organize a more structured
system of settlement which would help to accelerate the development in
central regions of the country, to reduce the intensity of ecological pollution,
to improve transport communication, to integrate the whole country. In my opinion, it is impossible to speak about
the architecture on the scale of the whole country without creating an elaborated system. Having analyzed the existing situation, I assume that the transport
communication can become the principle structural unit, in particular I suggest
creating a high-speed transport line which
will connect the country from the West to the East. It is also essential to
move the capital to the geographical center of the country, since Moscow is no
longer able to perform all the assigned duties and became almost unsuitable for
life. To transfer the government from it
will help to relieve the city overload and will stimulate the development of
the central regions as well. Some regions are still almost uninhabited because
of the relief structure. It is caused by
the difficulties in infrastructure organization, transport accessibility and in
energy supply. I suggest creating in
these areas small autonomous self-sustaining settlements which would use
local renewable energy sources. Innovative air vehicles can serve as transport,
for example the modified airship. While analyzing the situation in Russia, I noticed that not
enough attention is paid to the problems of people from north areas. The
native people make up the majority of north population, they are nomadic people
with low life standard, lack of education, but unique cultural traditions. I
propose to unite several nomadic groups into large mobile settlements providing
with all the necessary social facilities. Since the general construction is complicated
by the life-style of these people and the danger of soil erosion (caused by the
global warming) the main social objects should be mobile.
