Ice Arena

Nomination
Best Project of Public Space

About the project
The complex accomplishment of the site includes reconstruction of streets, 3 squares, the Iset embankment, as well as construction of walking bridges. The authors were inspired by Ural woods – a kind of a fairy tale of the forest they wanted to tell people. Citizens will be provided with access to the river’s green banks with the local terrain barely touched. The key objective of the project was to connect all the luxurious nature with this place intended for active leisure, relaxation and playing games. The space comprises two children’s playgrounds, equipped with major pieces, making kids feel as heroes of Gulliver’s Travels or Alice in Wonderland. Dense walls of hydrophilic plants, grass and shrubs, as well as specially designed lamps along the river will make this place look as an urban woodland.
