Gorky Park
A unique place on the map of Moscow
About the project
International Tender for Gorky Park Main Entrance Square Concept Design.
Concept
The creative people of Moscow have in Gorky Park a space to show the best of them. Be social, friendly, family, curious and interested. It is a ground of positive thoughts and memories. Therefore it is much loved and make Moscow proud. We shall bring composition axis connecting Garage with Tretyakovksaya Gallery via center of Gorky Park Arch and entrance square. We shall change the under sadovye passage to create a very accessible walk way. We have the best point to get information on how to spend day in the Gorky Park, Muzeon and Moscow. You should start your journey from here. We are part of larger scale Axis of Art walkway. TheTretyakovskaya – Garage axis walk line will have art theme and functions as option to river views. We will give good meet point/ wait point. The square will become part of park experience by quality landscape. We will have new iconic point – nostalgy of fair grounds still vivid in Moscow people memories in form of modern art movable element.
Facade
The front of Arch square we see as point of pride and history and symbol of Gorky Park. We suggest enriching the seasonal art expositions, with introduction of circular movable platform. Once without large scale art presence, the platform will turn, bringing the feeling of merry-go-round fair atmosphere. The square is a fair ground, braced to respect the monumental view on the Arch. In the night time the movable circular platform will be a stage for use of the holograms techniques / media sculptures. We will bring the carousel.
Landscape
The landscape will include topping, greenery and sit elements. All of them are following key directions and axis’s and emphasizing already exisitng architectural historical elements. The greenery is guiding us toward park and is bringing the feeling of park experience to the square. We are differentiating the main passages and access zones for high people flow and curve out wait zones and more quiet areas.
