Prokshino
Unique in scale in Russia
About the project
The sports and event cluster "Prokshino" is a unique project for Russia in its scale. The project includes cultural and sports facilities, an event venue, a water amusement resort and a 100 m high embankment slide. The masterplan project developed a transport and pedestrian flow scheme, worked out visual connections and a variety of cycling and walking routes, as well as worked out the concept of the landscape.
Masterplan
The task for Blank was to "link" and ensure convenient functioning of objects diverse in typology, to ensure synergy and connection with the surrounding buildings. Each building is unique, creates rhythm and interest, attracts the attention of visitors. All the objects of the cluster are located along the pedestrian axis stretching from the Prokshino metro station to the ski slope. Due to this, an attractive route is created, each section of which is saturated with activities.
Landscape
The transport scheme is organized in such a way that the entrances to the buildings are carried out from the outside of the cluster, freeing up the central axis for walking routes and recreational areas. The network of pedestrian paths provides communication with the surrounding buildings, as well as convenient connections within the cluster. Where large flows of visitors are expected - the central entrance, the areas around the arena - expansion of pedestrian paths and alternative routes for the duration of events are provided.
