Industrial Dinosaur Park (Saratov)

Project
Industrial Dinosaur Park

Nomination
Best Project of Public Space

About the project
The concept of the project refers to the symbiosis of former industrial facilities and bionic figures of the Mezozoic reptiles. Their skeletons create shadows, so much needed in hot summer.

In the children’s zone art objects resembling dinosaurs are located. 12 differently sized chairs will be located, creating a new system of landmarks and referring to the movie.

Hardscape elements feature morphotypes of the Saratov famous mills. Old railways will be transformed into the children’ railway.

Approaches to the river will be arranged along with eco-farms, which citizens will be able to use to grow plants and even breed fish and further release them to Volga.

The nearest isles will be also utilized in the project, and the isles and the park will be used all the year round.
