The closed competition for the concept of an architectural and urban planning solution for the public and recreational complex "Tverskaya Zastava" was initiated by the chief architect of Moscow, Sergei Kuznetsov, and was conducted by AFI RUS LLC (the role of the customer was taken over by Avtostoyanka Tverskaya Zastava LLC).

The architects were tasked with creating a bright, attractive image for both citizens and the business community, organically fit it into the surrounding buildings, while improving the quality of the urban environment and also avoiding the deterioration of the transport situation in this (and without that, as you know, famous for its traffic jams) area. Work on competition projects began on February 28, the results were summed up on April 26.
