Serious thought should be given to alteration of Yerevan~Rs appearance,
Armenian sculptor Gevorg Gasapyan believes.
~SRecently constructed buildings at Yerevan~Rs Northern Avenue,
considered to be the most modern part of the city, remind of
80-year-old American constructions, which proves Armenian architecture
is 80 years behind world standards,~T Gevorg Gasapyan stated at August
13 news conference.
As the artist Ashot Harutyunyan pointed out, the placement of monuments
in the city makes Yerevan similar to huge chessboards with identical
pieces. ~SThe tendency should be altered,~T the artist noted.
Gevorg Gasapyan, in turn, expressed readiness to present some of
his works to the city. The sculptor has also developed a number of
projects, ready to be implemented upon approval of city authorities.
In conclusion Gevorg Gasapyan urged architects and sculptors to unite
their efforts to alter the image of Yerevan.
