Zaha Hadid Architects won an international design competition for the Sberbank Technopark building, which will be built at the Skolkovo Innovation Center near the Russian city. The new science and technology park – designed to host emerging IT, biomedical, energy, nuclear and space innovation companies – is said to be Russia's answer to Silicon Valley.

The 131,000-square-metre Sberbank Technopark will feature a curving glass facade with an arched opening through its centre. It will house 10-12,000 technical employees of the Russian bank Sberbank.
