in recent years, ENEA restored more than 20 cultural heritage sites and landscape Park was decorated with more than a dozen new facilities.
Together with the Mayor of Moscow at the site visited, the General Director of the company Alexey Likhachev.
Living history: remembered, VDNKH visitors latinhouse different place. Six memories of getting acquainted with the main exhibition of the country
the Pavilion of the state Corporation “Rosatom” is built on the site of the former pavilion 19 — standard building of aluminum and glass, which was in poor technical condition. Earlier this area was the location of pavilions “of the Tajik SSR” and “Tatar ASSR”. In 1967 was built the pavilion “Mechanization and electrification of agriculture”, which was then renamed “Chief demonstration testing computer center” — it tells about the features and capabilities of electronic computers.
In the 1990s, the pavilion features information and exhibition center of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for civil defense, emergencies and elimination of consequences of natural disasters. It held the exhibition of rescue equipment and seminars on the work of the emergency services. Part of the building rented under commercial and office space.
a New stage of development of this territory in the Central part of the exhibition is associated with the creation of the Museum of atomic energy Corporation “Rosatom”. Earlier the industry have already dedicated the pavilion at ENEA: in 1956, during the all-Union industrial exhibition pavilion No. 62 has received the name “Nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.” The visitors were shown the instrumentation, collection of uranium ores, the means of radiological protection and layouts of systems for fusion research. In the Central hall housed the current nuclear reactor with uranium-235 with a capacity of 100 kilowatts. Visitors could observe the effect of Cherenkov radiation, a characteristic blue glow in the water column produced by a nuclear reaction. Atomic pavilion has become a mandatory part of tour programs for foreign delegations.
In 1964 in connection with the extension of the exhibition theme, the exhibition was transferred to pavilion No. 71. Among the exhibits were models of nuclear reactors and nuclear plants to demonstrate the principles of operation of nuclear power plants and nuclear-powered icebreakers.
In the recent history of VDNKH in the pavilion № 71 has opened the Palace of government services, and in the pavilion № 62, received in the change of exposition in 1967, the name “environmental Protection”, currently houses the international center of ballet.
But the nuclear topic is not left ENEA. To create the pavilion “Atom”, the Moscow Government jointly with Corporation “Rosatom” in 2016, held an international competition in which victoryLa architectural concept Russian design Bureau UNK project. The building will have seven floors, three of which are underground. Total area of 25.1 thousand square meters, including 1.2 thousand “squares” — roof.
the Concept of the future Museum is to show the history and modern achievements of domestic nuclear power as a high-tech and safe industry that contributes to the economic development of the country. Visitors can get acquainted with the atomic project of the USSR, see the installation and to see the interesting exhibits.
the construction of the pavilion began in 2018. Modern exhibition complex will be interesting for wide audience and for professionals working in nuclear energy.
the Space is divided into three parts. The underground part is designed to exhibit the fundamental knowledge first and ground floor — modern. It is planned to organize temporary exhibitions, and conduct educational exhibitions. The upper floors are allocated to the zone of free communication.
Land space is divided into an open part that is intended primarily for temporary exhibitions, and closed, which will house lectures, creative workshops, a reading garden, offices, cafes. The roof will be a restaurant with stained glass, from where opens a beautiful view of the neighboring pavilions of the exhibition.
the Project has unique technical solution — hanging the console, the length of the flight which is 53 meters and panoramic Windows with glass panes measuring 12 by three meters. Under the building is the river Kamenka, which is why the designers and builders at the device of the basement levels and foundations required special skills.
the Estimated average number of visitors of the pavilion Corporation “Rosatom” — three thousand people a day. Maximum capacity of 4.5 thousand people at a time. Now on object works on installation of metal structures, reinforcement and concreting stairs of the underground part, slabs and vertical structures floors.
Planned to be commissioned by August 2021.

Now the building is cleaned from the accumulated dirt, removed the chips and dings, and restore lost areas of coating. The facade was treated with a special solution, which protects coating from atmospheric precipitation.
Decorative relief “flora” was also in poor condition. During restoration work it was cleansed from years of mud sediments. On archival photos to re-cast the missing elements.

Landscape Park of the exhibition center covers an area of over 87 hectares. It is a unique recreation complex which includes the historic landscape, cultural heritage and protected areas with innovative developments in the field of gardening landscaping and architecture.
In 2016, a French Studio under the direction of landscape architect Michel Pena prepared the Park’s development, on the basis of which the project was developed, its improvement and adaptation to modern use.

One of the ornaments of the landscape of the Park is “the Big picture fields”, developed by Michel pan and located in the area of “cultivated Nature”. Historically, in this part of the exhibition was located in the experimental fields of various crops and fruit trees.

On retaining walls, architectural concrete posted wooden decks for sitting. Inside the walls is installed a water-saving system for the best microclimate of the plant root system. Flowering fields are connected by paths made of natural stone.
Another development Michel Foam — landscape attraction “eco-trail”, located in the historic forest Park “Oak grove” — part of Sheremetyevo extensive oak forests.
Here there are pedunculate oaks, whose average age exceeds 150 years, also there are instances of over 200 and 250 years.

According to the concept, the differences in their appearance appeal to certain feelings and emotions: fear, tranquility, love, admiration. As coverage of selected marble chips, sparkling brightly in the sun. Inside the green rooms mood lighting. The projectors create a mesh pattern in the dark.

Now scenic ponds have chosen three pairs of birds aged from three to five years. So the swans could shelter during inclement weather and simply relax, made three floating house.
Another premiere in 2020 in the landscape Park ENEA — two installations created by artists from around the world. Art composition “Birds” Cedric Le Bourne located close to the air ekotropy, and the kinetic sculpture “Armadillo” Anthony Howe — near the pavilion № 38 “Fishing”. In the evening, “Birds” is highlighted.
the development plans of the Park landscape to 2020 is the opening of another landscape attraction “Mobius Strip”. It is a continuous walking route, stretching over the supporting structure in the form of the infinity sign in the area of “cultivated Nature”.
Length of the route is about 300 meters, and the height of the structure is about eight feet. The Foundation will establish a metal frame, the facades of which are made of metal panels. The attraction will adorn architectural lighting.
Surround “Mobius Strip” will be a garden of the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste). In particular, in the garden of the touch planted pines, visitors will experience a pleasant tactile sensation, touching the needles and the bark of trees. In the garden of sounds will grow Linden, birch and poplar. Here guests will hear the noise of leaves and the rustle of grasses and even be able to try the berries from the fruit bushes.
