Gorky Park is a unique space in map of Metropolis of Moscow.
The creative people of Moscow have in Gorky Park a space to show the best of them. Be social, friendly, family, curious and interested. It is a ground of positive thoughts and memories. Therefore it is much loved and make Moscow proud. The architects created a special project based on several axis.
First - Axis of Art (A Axis) – is between nearby Muzeon park and Garage Museum of Modern Art. The purpose of this axis is to make the public feel curious and inspired. The architects shall bring composition axis connecting Garage with Tretyakovksaya Gallery via center of Gorky Park Arch and entrance square. The Axis of Art is connecting Galleries and contains many artistic objects on it. The A Axis will give a straight line walk way with Art theme as option to river embankment walkway. It is all year active, the annual winter ice rings are not entering it.
The center of the composition is friendly information hub turning the connection between the Park and Muzeon into a safe and comfortable, high tech and readable form. The architects want to offer to visitors to start their day from planning. Given all choice of what you can do ahead of day, which expositions to visit, which restaurants have best menu options, where to go with children or crowd densities – visitors can secure the best experience possible.
The front of Arch square the architects have seen as point of pride and history and symbol of Gorky Park. They suggest enriching the seasonal art expositions, with introduction of circular movable platform. Once without large scale art presence, the platform will turn, bringing the feeling of merry-go-round fair atmosphere. The square is a fair ground, braced to respect the monumental view on the Arch. In the night time the movable circular platform will be a stage for use of the holograms techniques or media sculptures.
One of the main points and amenities of the Park becomes its unique landscape. The landscape will include topping, greenery and sit elements. All of them are following key directions and axis’s and emphasizing already exisitng architectural historical elements. The greenery is guiding us toward park and is bringing the feeling of park experience to the square. The main passages and access zones are divided into high people flow zones and curve out wait zones with more quiet areas.
Finally the architects proposed some important points in the Park. First - the best point to get information on how to spend day in the Gorky Park, Muzeon and Moscow. The square becomes a good point to meet and wait while having the experience by quality landscape. Second - The Muzeon park – Garage Museum axis walk line will have art theme and functions as option to river views. And third the architects bring to the park new iconic point – nostalgy of fair grounds still vivid in Moscow people memories in form of modern art movable element.
