Two famous modern architects worked on its architectural concept: the main author of the project Sergey Kuznetsov and his co-author Ivan Grekov. All the facades of the building are made of glass, the glazing area is more than 35 thousand square meters. The glass is made of nanomaterials developed in Russia with high light transmission, which is why the premises of the innovation center will always be light and comfortable, warm in winter, and cool in summer.
According to the architects’ concept, the mirror façade will not only create higher insolation of the building's interior space, but will also reflect changes in nature: the movement of the sun, sunset, sunrise, and magnetron sputtering makes it possible to capture these changes visually.
"The building is visually divided into two parts: the stylobate - the solid part, symbolizing fundamental science, rooted in the ground, and the light part, - a floating silhouette, overcoming gravity and directed upwards. In this way, the architects metaphorically comprehended the nature of scientific research. Due to the complex plasticity, dynamics of consoles and correctly selected materials, both parts of the building fully reveal the theme of the development of a scientific hypothesis. Despite its sculptural nature, the building is quite rational and meets its office functions, convenient in terms of placement of entrance groups, communications, vertical elevators, stairs, distribution of the light front and is easily "cut" into additional rooms," Sergey Kuznetsov comments on his project.
