Dnieper River Park
Firm
FoRM Associates won
second prize in the international open competition for best urban landscape
design of the central area of Kiev within the framework of preparation for UEFA
Football Championship Euro-2012 and for the future. The competition was
promoted by the Kiev City State Administration and Kyiv Central Agency for
Urban Planning, Architecture and Urban Design to draw attention of
professionals and general public to the poor state of urban landscape in the
central part of the city. Igor Marko and Petra Havelska presented FoRM’s proposal
to the international jury and general public during the CANactions Architecture
Festival in the House of Architects in Kiev.
FoRM’s proposal
‘Dnieper River Park’ identified Kiev’s two major assets – the park and the river as the
new green and blue DNA of Kiev,
stemming from their unique correlation and adjacency to the city centre. FoRM’s
Dnieper River Park as a masterplan is not based on large scale architecture
focused proposals but rather on a more fluid placemaking driven urbanism. The
principal challenge of the masterplan is to reinvent Kiev’s orientation towards
its river through environmental and culture-led regeneration, establishing
Dnieper River as center of community life and enterprise.
Many
of the necessary elements for the ambitious Dnieper River Park project are
already in place, and others await only the community’s decision to pursue
them. One of the key issues in current circumstances is one of credibility and
of inclusive participation of people in the process of change. In recognition, FoRM
proposed a strategy based on the notion of fluid urbanism involving psychological
to physical transformation through time. In this context they recognized the
upcoming Euro 2012 sporting event as a unique opportunity to create a momentum for
the future transformation. Their proposal of an event of community
participation on a scale not seen before in Kiev will involve thousands of
people of all ages in the act of receiving, giving and planting flowers in key
areas of the future park and adjoining city. The event will become an expression of a
symbolic promise of people to themselves and to their community of a future
based on an inclusive and meaningful process of change.
