GLAZOV FESTIVALGRAD
RU
Glazov is the capital city of festivals—that is the core message of the project. Festivalization, both functionally and esthetically, is a powerful urban development trigger. First, it attracts large numbers of tourists who want new impressions and unique experiences. Then come investors excited by the promise of the city’s development. Last, but not least, springs the inherent and natural desire to stay, to work in the city, and to further its growth through mutual effort. The project allows each of its spaces to host any event imaginable, from a classical music festival to a traditional Udmurt holiday, a Butter Week celebration with enormous bonfires, or a sailing festival on the River Cheptsa. All components of the projects are an invaluable contribution to the process of festivalization.
The site has been divided into several sections:
- New square and embankment;
- Zarechny Park (‘The Park Across the River’) and the old water towers;
- Idnakar Historic Settlement;
- Landscape Art Park;
- Potential residential area: apartment buildings;
- Potential residential area: private houses.
The project aspires to meet the following objectives:
- to create a new culture and leisure city The new square and embankment, as well as the park area across the river turn into a new heart of city life. It is a unique historic urban environment, full of public spaces comprising a variety of functions;
- to create a safe and comfortable environment for public events and festivals, a recreational space for both residents and tourists alike;
- to develop the adjacent city neighborhoods and create a comfortable residential and small-to-medium-sized business environment;
- to create attraction and activity points on the site;
- to make the area penetrable and provide connection to the adjacent city neighborhoods;
- to develop the River Cheptsa embankment, make the river an integral part of the city fabric, and create both water and land routes following the course of the river;
- to integrate the riverbank into the city fabric;
- to create a safe and comfortable environment for public events, festivals, and leisurely activities.
