KAZANKA.CITY
Kazan 2021
KAZANKA.CITY proposes a sustainable architecture, infrastructures and program for the development of five urban blocks on Kazanka River in Russia. These blocks are integrated with a regenerated linear coastal park. The meeting of the two systems – blocks & park – forms a unique public domain and a gateway to a new waterscape.
The architectural innovations include structural Mass Timber, Water Retention Systems and Public Infrastructures: Dunes, Green Alleyways and Courtyards, networks of Plazas and Pedestrian Walkways, a Soft Embankment, Boardwalks and Piers, Winter Gardens, Commercial Spaces, Offices, and Housing. These are held by Arcade Spaces under an extensive, timber-framed Canopy: the Podium to a waterfront Performance Center, mixed-use Midrise Buildings, and Residential Towers.
KAZANKA.CITY defines the regeneration of the Kazanka riverfront cultural landscape with a new civic identity. It transforms this unique body of water into a single, visible urban space.
Design Principal: Petros Babasikas
Design Associate: Irina Rouby-Apelbaum
Designers: Jim Kurt Ereno, Pearl Cao, Rui Zhang, Bahia Marks
