Participants of Archiprix workshop, winners of the most popular international competitions among young architects, will present the results of their research in Strelka's courtyard.
In their research the participants investigated how Russian stereotypes of urban planning could be debunked and what kind of changes urban spaces would undergo, if these norms did not exist.
Under the supervision of architects and urban planners the participants were looking into such issues as green zones and school yards, railway stations and their environs, restricted military and secret service zones, standardization of construction norms and personal space in an urban environment.
