Last week, within the framework of the Zodchestvo festival, a presentation of the results of the Nasha Vologda workshop, organized by the Dmitrovka creative association, took place. The workshop was supervised by architects Ivan Matveev and Nikita Asadov.

Four student teams from Moscow (MARHI) and Vologda (VoGU) have developed projects for the improvement of three Vologda public spaces: a site on Zasodimskogo Street, an area near the university building on Galkinskaya Street and a square in front of the drama theater. The best of the proposed solutions is planned to be implemented with the support of the Sokolsk Woodworking Plant.

Below are the projects of all four teams, including short video presentations made by their authors.

The authors tried to make each of the sites not only aesthetically attractive, but also as functional as possible. Wooden paths for walks, gazebos for solitary conversations or meditation alone, places for study, recreation and plein air - all this will decorate the city and provide Vologda residents with interesting leisure.

In this project, the emphasis is on the use of mobile and transformable structures, which will allow citizens to "tune" the environment for a specific situation. A variety of outdoor furniture will serve for relaxation and communication, as well as for various events.

The students sought not only to solve the problem of landscaping, but to create a unique atmosphere, their own history for each of the sites, to show concern for local residents, to encourage them to openness, to gain new knowledge, to reflect on life.

This concept provides areas for both quiet relaxation and privacy, as well as for family walks, student lunches in the fresh air, and small events. The main goal is to create a comfortable environment for people of different ages, with different needs and interests.
