About the project
The masterplan occupies a unique site between Sibgat Hakim st. and Kazanka river. The goal of the project is to maximise urban and architectural diversity as well as spatial flexibility, and forming a pedestrian-friendly zone in order to form a new landmark for the city. Our site is right next to Kazanka river and provides visual accessibility (though limited) to the other landmarks around such as the Kremlin, Kremlin Dam, Millennium Bridge, Extreme Park, Kazan Family Center, etc. So what should our project’s characteristics be to fit into this area? There already is so much to see or watch, do we need something new to watch? What if our project could represent and emphasize the other already existing? Or could it do both?
