International competition for architecture and landscaping design concept for Zaryadye Park in the city of Moscow. The park will project a new image of Moscow and Russia upon the world. The competition will rank among the most important architectural happenings of recent decades. It stands alongside the development of Ground Zero in New York, the reconstruction of the Reichstag in Berlin and the competition for a new cultural district in West Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The aim of this competition is to develop an architecture and landscaping design concept that will form the basis for the creation of a contemporary park with a high quality infrastructure that will be open for the public all year round.
The objectives of the competition are: to arrive at a strategy for development and planning of the park; to make spatial decisions for the landscape architecture of the park; to propose an overarching urban, spatial and architectural solution for other elements of the park, such as buildings and structures, a multifunctional complex, parking and the Moskva River embankment; and to determine the location, size and volume requirements of the Philharmonic building complex and the hotel (architectural solutions of these buildings are not included in the objectives of this competition).
