Church and State
Once upon a time...
The VERY unfinished plan bellow is the first slab, in other words the foundation slab of the new complex that connects the new quarters of the Patriarch of Moscow who now resides on the grounds of the cathedral and the residence of the Russian Government that occupies the Kremlin.
The massive cores are made by casting into the existing buildings on the site as the original building eventually falls to ruin the the cores take on the solid form of the old city. This petrified city is frozen in time (see ref. in previous post). The smaller complex spaces around the cores re establish the human scale at street level of this rather mammoth structure. They are composed of fragments of casted wall, ceiling and floor. Around the fragments are openings that connect to the slab above.
The transition from the the fragmented linear spaces to the larger and more curvilinear spaces signify the transition from Kremlin to church.
That is all I can write now, I have to go - I will post again later with progress on the plan. I know it is nothing to look at yet but maybe it gives you a small idea of what I am trying to acheive.
