About the project (provided by the applicant)
In recent years, Perm has been experiencing active development: culture, education, transport, and infrastructure are reaching a new level. Architecture and urban planning play a significant role, as projects transform not only the city’s appearance but also the daily life of its residents.
One of the key growth points is the Central Market — previously a closed, overcrowded, and unfriendly space. The problem lies in the fragmented application of comprehensive territorial development (CTD): construction proceeds without a unified master plan, and lenient urban planning restrictions give developers excessive freedom.
In this project, I aimed to combine a personal connection to the city with professional knowledge, proposing a new development direction. Special attention was given to public spaces and streets as the foundation of a lively urban environment. Inspired by the heritage of the Kamensky merchant family, I designed a project of blocks that combines modern standards with the memory of the place.
The project offers not just renovation, but the formation of a cohesive district with a cultural and business center, developed educational and commercial functions, and a vibrant urban environment.
