Concept of Cesovskaya Embankment

PROJECT

Architectural and urban planning concept for the development of the territory along the borders of Cesovskaya Embankment, Surikova Street, Lenin Street, and Stepana Razina Street in Irkutsk.

This concept suggests changing the "classic" approach. We propose a soft connection between two levels of the embankment by creating slopes, terraces, stairs, and amphitheaters oriented towards the water. By using this technique, we do not isolate the levels from each other and provide visual and physical continuity. The soft merging of the levels serves several purposes: attracting people to the lower level, making it inhabitable; improving aesthetic characteristics by creating an interesting and elegant silhouette; enhancing sanitation - the southern sun can easily warm and illuminate the lower level, creating favorable conditions for people to stay. The area from Glazkovskiy Bridge to Burova Street is formed into a single level due to the narrow width from the building line to the shore. The style and form of the new embankment were chosen in contrast to the "classic" and strict neighboring Lower Embankment.

Our team aims to create a vibrant and "natural" character for the waterfront area. The idea is to establish a waterfront park, a green recreational space that is cozy and inviting. The fluid and wavy line, symbolizing the division of levels, seamlessly integrates into the overall structure of the development, forming a soft silhouette. During the analysis of pedestrian transit, we have designed recreational "pockets" that do not hinder the shortest pedestrian routes between major transit nodes. The functional zoning is carefully considered, taking into account the existing and future development of the neighborhoods. The alternation of active and quiet zones, open spaces and cozy green niches, micro-parks, allows for a variety of behavioral scenarios. The dynamic nature, vibrant emotional moments that arise along the waterfront, the abundance and diversity of greenery, landscaping elements, and small architectural forms all contribute to creating favorable conditions for the residents' relaxation and leisure.
