One of the main <strong>driving forces of architectural and social innovation<\/strong> is <strong>Gorky Park<\/strong>, where the recently built <strong>Nike Air Box MSK <\/strong>sports center, a project of 4,685 square meters designed by the Russian architecture firm <a href=\"https:\/\/k-s-m-s.com\/\">Kosmos Architects<\/a>, is located.Built to further enhance the park\u2019s sports area and help <strong>promote an active<\/strong> and dynamic <strong>lifestyle<\/strong>, the project, winner of a competition organized in 2017 by Nike and <a href=\"http:\/\/strelka-kb.com\/en\">Strelka KB<\/a>, is inspired by the local context, with rough modernist buildings and the traditional <strong><em>\u2018korobki\u2019<\/em><\/strong> (literally \u2018box\u2019 in Russian), the typical urban architectures of any Russian suburb characterized by a fenced courtyard.A \u2018naked\u2019 structure, a transparent fa\u00e7ade and a dynamic surface make <strong>the building blend with the surrounding space and the green of the park<\/strong>, also thanks to the possibility of using <strong>both the roof and the sides of the structure as sports platforms<\/strong>. The fa\u00e7ade clad with a 3-dimensional metal lattice acts as a membrane between interior space and the park, letting air, light and people move naturally.The whole site around Box MSK is <strong>a continuous playground<\/strong>: it is clad with a magenta rubber, used for sports facilities, and includes fields, trees and hills that act as natural bleachers for spectators. This rubber also continues inside the building, thus connecting the inside with the outside. Another important space, designed as an accessible area for <strong>yoga classes, public events, exhibitions and parties<\/strong>, is the roof.The \u2018simple\u2019 <strong>square plan is divided into 4 parts<\/strong>: entrance hall, multi-purpose hall, changing rooms and service area. The layout is divided by two intertwining corridors that create a cross-shaped path visually connecting the interior with the exterior, to allow for ample freedom of movement.
