The concept of the reconstruction project for the 127th quarter in Kazan is to establish a pilot initiative aimed at rehabilitating the inner-quarter development of the city. This project focuses on creating a comfortable environment for both residents and tourists. The key idea involves designing a passageway that spans the entire area of the quarter, offering a unique architectural approach of "inside-out" design. This method harmoniously integrates architectural elements with the internal structure of the quarter, unlocking new opportunities for seamless mobility, leisure, and social interaction.
The scope of the project solution encompasses addressing the urban planning challenges of inner-quarter development in Kazan and creating conditions to increase tourist flows to the city. The project aims to transform outdated inner-quarter environments, integrate modern approaches to organizing public spaces, and enhance the area's appeal for both residents and tourists.
The building's structure is made of a combination of reinforced concrete columns and standard metal structures used as roof trusses. For the restoration of the inner-quarter house, bricks manufactured using traditional techniques were utilized, emphasizing the historical value of the object. In the new building, metal plates are used as cladding, giving it a modern appearance and ensuring durability.
