In 2014, an architectural monument, the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War, was demolished in the central square of Minsk. Our primary task was to offer an alternative to the existing building project designed in its place.
Our team conducted historical and urban planning analyses. After that, we designed three alternative concepts for the square development on the site of the Great Patriotic War Museum building.
We were focused on urban planning and architectural analysis during the concept design. These ideas helped us to create an architecture corresponding to the place and time. Although the new buildings have modern facades, they pay tribute to the previous ones and continue to tell their story.
The project received great press reviews. Moreover, Minsk residents supported it. Unfortunately, this was not enough to convince the developer to revise the earlier proposed project.
