We suggested a park revitalization project in Tashkent. Babur Park is a traditional soviet park of culture and recreation, located in the historical center of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It's also a special location because of the embassies of different countries located nearby. Its peculiarity is the historical interweaving of traditions and cultures.
The park is famous among the locals for its attractions: the Peace Bell donated by Japan, Seoul National Park and Seattle Peace Park created jointly with the United States. In this regard, one of the main tasks in the reconstruction of the park was the preservation of existing historical objects and gifts from other countries and the possibility of adding to this collection over time.
As well as the elements that make up the Girikh ornament, the functions of the park are intertwined into a single whole, creating a cycle of events, meetings, communication, acquaintances, etc.
The future park was designed for walking locals, relaxing in the shade, meeting with friends, visiting festivals and holidays, playing sports, jogging, cycling and much more. Tourists here can try local cuisine, get acquainted with the local flavor, take a walk near their hotel or embassy. The project pays special attention to the kitchen. The main street connecting the two entrances to the park is a food promenade: a platform for culinary ambassadors of world cuisines. Each pavilion is unique and represents the architectural features of the countries whose cuisines are represented in them.
Also in the park are designed places for communication of different formats. Decking by the water for socializing and recreation areas in the green part of the park for personal communication. The skatepark and play area for children serve as platforms for forming new acquaintances and rallying young visitors to the park. The educational center and sports grounds are designed in the context of nature.
Babur Park is a park that supports diversity, and this mix of cultures has been reflected in the park's use of different types of trees and plants from different parts of the world, from the classic Italian garden, to Japanese sakura and exotic palm trees.
