Project
Kirov Square Beautification Concept “Bridges of Saratov”

Nomination
Best Project of Public Space

About the project
The Kirov Square is one of the most important places in Saratov. Today, this site combined various functions like transit, trade, active and passive leisure, a cultural memorial and so on.

We wanted to connect scattered parts of the square into a unified system.

The bridge as a connecting structure, will facilitate people to raise above the square and see it from another perspective. As the Kirov Square lives a dynamic life, continuously changing and evolving, the basic structure of our bridge is a spiral, referring to creative power of the society, a symbol of generations union and life rhythm. The covering of the square featuring arch-like wavy shapes refers to river waves and continues the general concept. In the middle of this r iver, there are leisure isles, inviting to have a break.

Location
Saratov, Kirov Square
