The First Place ATRIUM, Vostok+  Concept of the “Park of the Future Generations” in Yakutsk © Atrium, Vostok+Copyright: © ATRIUM, Vostok+The project “Sakha_Z” combines the functions of the park and the city’s event center. The architectural concept is based on the modern interpretation of the ancient Yakut lore, cultural images, symbols, and ornaments. The architects also drew inspiration from the local scenery with its drained lakes, meanders of rivers, and the crystals of permafrost. All of this, coupled with the technological design of the park (including the system of climatic correction) and the thought-out event program, inspired a lot of sympathy in the members of the judging panel and brought the project a flawless victory. A special mention must be given to the construction set “SAKHABlock” that the authors developed. This is a multipurpose modular architectural and landscape system that can be used to create comfortable public spaces not only in this specific location but also in any city in the extreme north.

The Second Place Yakutproject, Asadov Architectural Bureau, LSTK-Project  Concept of the “Park of the Future Generations” in Yakutsk © Yakutproject, Asadov Bureau, LSTK-ProjectThe central place in this project is occupied by the square in the form of an ancient Yakut calendar, which also symbolizes the main deity of the Sakha people – the White Sun. The square is surrounded by a complex of “hill” buildings that host an info center, a youth center, a greenhouse, and an art park. Exploring the topic of passing the cultural heritage on to the future generations, the architects expect that with each next generation the park will be growing and developing like a living and breathing organism – it will get new public spaces and activity scenarios, relevant to the people of the surrounding areas and the entire city as well.
