Neither Samvel Danielyan, the architect of Yerevan, nor the president
of the Union of Architects Mkrtich Minasyan and the director of
Armproject Institute Gurgen Musheghyan likes the view of the roofs
of Yerevan.
"Our city is shaped like an amphitheater, and a view from above reveals
that the roofs need serious reconstruction. The architecture of the
roofs must be changed both in terms of materials and structure. The
roofs of some buildings were not planned architecturally. Corrections
are necessary. The basements in Yerevan need to be changed as well,"
thinks Samvel Danielyan.
Gurgen Musheghyan agrees with him. "For Yerevan, it is not only
necessary to repair the roofs but also turn them into green areas to
compensate for decreasing green areas on the ground."
Mkrtich Minasyan also dislikes the "roof" of Yerevan.
"Our union has always stated its opinion on questions of architecture
but I do not know why we are placed in opposite camps. Questions need
to be discussed."
