Green areas of the promenade are proposed to be separated from each other by decorative columns and architectural vases.
Crossing to the next segment
|
|
Vases play the role of intermediate entrance compositions within the project, pleasing the eye of an ordinary passerby, who is used to the gray city.
Using Perm city’s new colors
|
|
The street stalls currently scattered across the street are being replaced by large shops and supermarkets. At the end of the avenue there is a new shopping center.
All the shop buildings have different shapes.
Unity in diversity

Facades of the new shopping center are decorated on the outside with colorful glazed tiles.
Vibrant experiments with space

|
During the city’s renovations, facades of the buildings will undergo important changes—many will return to their original state. Bleak signs will be replaced with the new ones, created using the Permian typeface.
The way it looked before, with wires and air conditioners spoiling the view
New version with the correct type and without the clutter
The billboards, blocking the daylight and depraving people of their view, will disappear from the walls of the buildings. 
Billboard reads: “The house with plenty of sunlight”
The house from which the sun is visible.
Styling of signs will become more restrained. There will only be what’s necessary. 
Everything is mixed together
Nothing extra, just what's important
Gray apartment blocks will be rejuvenated. |
It wasn’t always like this, but it got to this point.
And this is what it will look like very soon
