Landscape Organization and Revitalization of the Central Area of Bolshie Luchki Village

Project idea

The territory is unique, since this settlement was originally built on a space free of other buildings according to a pre-designed project.
The village turned out to be comfortable, harmonious and attractive.
It is perceived as friendly to humans – low–rise buildings of two or three floors are commensurate with a person, the abundance of greenery has a beneficial effect on the physical and psychological condition of residents.

The buildings are simple and comfortable residential buildings of mass series designed by state architectural workshops.

However, the landscaping has fallen into an inadequate state and is outdated.

Project description

The concept of this project involves the proper organization of the urban environment and the improvement of its qualitative characteristics in order to effectively utilize urban space, as well as to enhance the recognition of the space through the creation of a design code. This solution should lead to a reduction in population outflow by influencing the quality of life. Additionally, the selected territories will be considered as a single space, and therefore, a well-thought-out pedestrian network will be designed.

Currently, the chosen area lacks a variety of functional spaces, with only quiet recreation and walking functions present.
Therefore, it is planned to transform the selected territory into a multifunctional space.

During the design of the microdistrict, wide streets were laid out, which at present are not feasible to service effectively.
However, this is not necessary, as the automobile traffic is sufficiently low. Consequently, it is proposed to improve the situation by reducing the width of the carriageways.
To increase the diversity of greenery, plants requiring minimal maintenance will be selected to also reduce the costs of maintaining public spaces.
