VEB.RF and Sirius Invite Architects from all Around Globe to Compete for Embankment Design in Sochi
VEB.RF and the Urban Planning Centre of Sirius Science and Technology University launched an international contest to design an embankment for the first Russian federal territory (Sirius). The contest was announced at the SPIEF-2021.
The contest will be open to applicants on 5 July 2021 at: sirius-veb-competition.com. Architects will be competing to share a total of 26 million roubles in prize money. The winner will be announced in December 2021. Russian and international architects and landscape designers can apply for participation. A number of applications will be reserved for emerging designers which will give an opportunity to young professionals to compete on equal terms with major architecture firms. Applicants shall present a master plan, general, space-planning, volumetric and spatial, architectural, landscaping, transport, engineering and other solutions to design a 7.5 km embankment connecting Mzymta and Psou rivers.
Applicants may join their efforts to bid as teams or joint ventures. The first Russian federal territory Sirius grows to develop science, education, culture, sports, and tourism. Sirius will offer a fundamentally new approach to schools and universities, vocational training, talent management, and new recreation formats for families with kids, and smart tourism opportunities at the Black Sea coast. Sirius makes good use of 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics legacy facilities, and soon will benefit from new projects: a university campus, a health centre, a music hall, a college, and a seaside sports park.
VEB.RF will be represented in this contest by ProGorod LLC, the VEB.RF Group’s special purpose company in the area of real estate projects and integrated spatial development. VEB.RF’s partner Strelka KB will assist in organising the contest.
“VEB.RF’s investments have made a significant contribution to the development of the Greater Sochi. Our partnership with Sirius will make possible to promote the potential of the federal territory and to find top notch, outside the box urban planning solutions. Seaside view of the embankment matters, we need to reinforce 2014 Olympics’ legacy by leveraging existing sport venues and urban environment,” Head of VEB.RF Real Property Projects and Asset Management and Member of the Board Alexander Tarabrin said.
“Improvement of the embankment is one of the crucial tasks for Sirius development. The coastal area will offer art classes, professional and amateur sports, walkways, open sky festivals, popular scientific lectures, and meetings with artists to urban dwellers. In the next ten years, Sirius will be home for 40 thousand people, including scientists and university students. The embankment needs to provide maximum convenience to visitors all year round,” Elena Shmeleva, Head of Talent and Success Foundation, said.
“Sirius embankment is the natural border of the federal territory, but actually it is the main centre of attraction. It’s the beating tourism heart of Sirius. It is very important to shape the concept for this iconic location today and to get feedback from professionals. They may offer futuristic and ambitious visions, yet it is the main purpose of the contest: to get fresh ideas, to get inspired, to learn global best practices. The projects of the winners will guide us in drafting the development plan for the territory. We count on participation of serious players from the professional community, but we also welcome grass roots initiatives, ideas, and proposals,” Andrey Stolyarov, Interim Head of the Federal Territory, said.
Russian and international urban planning and development experts will be invited to sit on the jury. The winning design will be recommended for construction under the supervision of the contest’s winner.
