Strelka KB announces the launch of an Open International Competition for Tverskaya Streetscape Concept Design. The design project covers Tverskaya Street (from Pushkinskaya Square to Triumfalnaya Square) and 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street in Moscow. The competition is aimed to attract young and emerging architects for the projects on the renovation of urban territories as a part of “My Street” programme. The winner will be announced on the 7th of July 2016.

Giovanna Carnevali, competitions programme director at Strelka KB: “One of the key goals of the competition is to engage the new generation of architects into work on urban projects. As a result of our practice during the current and the previous year on the position of a strategic consultant for the Government of Moscow, we managed to develop the standards for the streetscape improvement and invite leading international architects to carry out projects for iconic streets of the city, henceforth setting the quality standard that we would like to establish as a benchmark for the streetscape improvement in Moscow”.
