Some of them may be used in the improvement of the main square of the regional center.
At the end of January, the results of the open competition for the best concept of reconstruction of the Theater square were summed up. The head of the administration of Kirov Ilya Shulgin headed the jury of the competition.
Along with venerable professionals to participate in the competition were allowed four teams of four-year students of the Faculty of Construction and Architecture of VyatSU under the guidance of associate Professor of the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning Irina Soboleva.
Despite the fact that none of the student projects was recognized as the absolute winner (the winner became the team of municipal public institution “Architecture”), the ideas of future urban planners were highly appreciated by the professional jury.
In the works of two teams (1: Nikita Mokiev, Elizaveta Lipina, Ekaterina Volkova; 2: Alexey Trofimov, Arseny Shumarin, Konstantin Kopylov) the idea of allocating a parking zone with green areas and high fencing was approved. The idea of organizing a pedestrian zone along the compositional axis of the Central square and the entrance group of the Drama theater, as well as the restoration of the Central pedestrian alley in the Eastern square, the author of which was Ramil Aliaga oglu Bakhyshov, was highly appreciated.
In the work of Nikita Sikov, Marlene Srazhidinov and Karina Manylova, the jury approved the idea of expanding the carriageway of Karl Marx street with the organization of pedestrian traffic along the upper part of the square and noted the best offer for the paving of the square.
Such successful results of the participation of VyatSU students in the strategically important for the development of the municipality "City of Kirov" competition indicate the high level of training of students in the Flagship University of the region, who are able to compete with professionals.
The administration of Kirov expressed gratitude to the creative team of students and teachers of the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Faculty of Construction and Architecture of the Polytechnic Institute of VyatSU for participation in the competition.
