Zaryadye Park Competition Winner. Moscow, Russia.
Zaryadye will be the first public park built in Moscow for over 50 years, the last being the Soviet Friendship Park, built for the 1957 Festival of Youth and Students. Since then, the practice of landscape and garden design internationally has developed through several stages. Yet contemporary landscape design remains under-explored in Moscow, a city that otherwise reflects very European and modern developments in architecture, urban planning and consumption habits. Creating a landmark piece of landscape art — adapting best practice to the characteristics of the Moscow climate — is thus a matter of crucial importance.
Due to its exceptional location, the park will become an open-air museum of sorts, where the permanent exhibition on show is the city itself. The buildings immediately surrounding the park area reflect the full spectrum of Russian architecture from the 16th to 20th centuries: a life-size exhibition against a green backdrop. The park will operate as an introduction to Moscow — a place to discover what the city is really about; the place where the city infects you with its energy.
