Zaryadye Park and Zaryadye Hall won a special prize from the jury of MIPIM, a major international competition of real estate and investment projects. The winners were awarded at the Cannes Palace of Congresses and Festivals.
“A project from Russia won a special jury prize for the first time in MIPIM history. We really have the best park and concert hall in the world! This is an unprecedented success in the entire history of the architectural community and the construction sector of Moscow. Today is a holiday for a huge team that worked on the park, and only thanks to joint efforts the capital now has a new symbol – Zaryadye Park,” said Pavel Trekhleb, head of the park.
Zaryadye was shortlisted as the nominee in “The Best Project for the Restoration of the Urban Environment” along with three competitors - the eco-park in Changchun (China), the Kaohsiung National Center for the Arts (Taiwan) and the reconstruction project of the historic center in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).
200 projects from 58 countries participated in the competition, prizes were awarded in 11 nominations. 45 projects from 21 countries reached the final. Six projects were presented by France, five by each China and Germany, four by Great Britain, three by each Spain and the Netherlands.
Our park has been repeatedly marked by the international architectural community.
In 2018, the American Time magazine included Zaryadye Park in the list of the 100 best places in the world — the only object from Russia. This is the best project in the field of public spaces, the winner of the ArchDaily Awards 2018 in the Public Architecture category, which, according to experts, has become “the highest international recognition in the entire history of post-Soviet architecture.” The park also received InAVation Award for multimedia technologies and equipment for "Soaring" and "Time Machine" media complexes and POPAI award in the Digital Media nomination for the design of park automated kiosks.
