Yerevan square reconstruction plan attracts architects
17:51 - 22.06.13
The plan for redesigning and modernizing Yerevan's Republican Square
has turned out to be of interest to over a dozen of architects who
have expressed willingness to work on the project.
Speaking to Tert.am, a spokesperson for Yerevan's chief architect
Narek Sargsyan said some of them have applied to the City Hall for
obtaining copies of the project proposal.
`June 20 is the deadline for submitting the bids; by September 20, the
jury is set to sum up the proposals,' Anahit Yesayan told our
correspondent, without giving further details.
The bid, announced by the municipality in late May, initially stirred
up discontent among architects (including the Union of Architects'
president). who protested against the initiative.
Sashur Kalashyan, a merited Armenian architect, had earlier expressed
concerns that the project, if realized, would lead to the capital
city's eventual destruction.
The chief architect's spokesperson did not say anything about the
applicants of the project, saying that she isn't aware of any names.
