Construction of a multifunctional shopping and entertainment, business, recreational and gastronomic center with a total area of 4975 sq.m. on the site of the existing “Arabkir” store at the address: Yerevan, Arabkir community, Komitas avenue 49/9

Within the framework of this project, we are dealing with a segment of the peak of the Northern axis, which is one of the most important starting points of the city. We are talking about tying the upper part with Komitas Avenue and the boulevard, as well as the territory in front of four research high-rise buildings.
The idea of the Northern axis is a turning point in terms of urban development of the city of Yerevan and the events taking place in the modern architecture of the capital of Armenia.

It is based on two main topics:
Creation of a strong dominant axis with bright architecture, opening the South and serving as one of the main landmarks for Yerevan, which in its turn will take on the role of the “spine” assigned to it in the urban planning grid of the city, to which until the 19th century developed street network routes are like ribs attached or originated from here.
In order to emphasize the intersection of the axis in the urban planning network with the unique architectural dominants and create a nodal hinged, connecting the urban environment (Buildings of the National Opera and Ballet Theater, the Tamanyan Square, the Cascade Complex, the Northern Avenue and Republic Square, the Yerevan keys, St. Grigor Lusavorich Yerevan Cathedral, Russia Cinema, the Yerevan railway station with the monument to David Sasuntsi, etc.)։

Thus, the authors of the project were faced with the task of creating an architecture that harmoniously entered into harmony with the urban planning idea of the Northern Axis, as well as satisfying both the functional and aesthetic needs of the citizens.
The image of the structure should fulfill two missions:
1. to satisfy all the requirements of modern multifunctional centers, their business and social functions;
2. the strength of its aesthetic and functional image will be the following:
to contribute to the resuscitation of the idea of the neighboring Arabkir boulevard and
strive to emphasize this node of the Northern Ray.
Volumetric, spatial, structural and other technological solutions are made in the spirit of parametric architecture and automated building technologies, which are characteristic to the architecture of the 21st century.

The use of such technologies allows you to freely work with surfaces of double curvature, apply forms with complex geometry and elements, work with digital parameters and “brush stroke, one stroke”, cover the entire area with a common shell with a large span and easily solve any planning problems under a single dome and technological challenges.
This approach allows you to get an innovative, vibrant, strong and impressive image that harmoniously fits into the existing environment.
Moreover, emphasizing social significance, the proposed concept contributes to the recognition of the area, the expansion of the urban environment, which has its own personality.
