Kaliningrad City Centre Redevelopment Strategy | Didorenko
Project team: OFF-THE-GRID STUDIO, DEVILLERS ET ASSOCIES, WALL.
2nd prize project winner International competition entry “Heart of the city”
Current situation: a disconnected void
The historical heart of the city is characterised by two main structural issues:
Firstly, a transport network which prioritizes traffic and transits through with urban highways cutting the site into pieces of poor accessibility.
Secondly, the site has the particular characteristic of being a void in the physical center of Kaliningrad with large undefined open spaces, dramatically under-utilising the site’s potentials.
Proposed structural interventions:
- Re-structuring, re-connecting, re-modelling & re-programming
- To re-structure the road network at the scale of the city to preserve a pedestrian-friendly heart
- To re-connect the different urban pieces together and with the surrounding districts by prioritising public transports and pedestrian connections.
- To re-model districts with contemporary massing, recreating the qualities of the intense urban fabric and recreate the site’s historical physical characteristics
- To re-program the site around seven key historical sites of distinct dualities and identities as prototypes of Kaliningrad public spaces.
