Located in an area of Lviv, Ukraine with unfinished buildings, the proposal for the Green Walking Mall is conceived as an inclusions program for the existing Bazar Quarter into the surrounding urban structures. Designed by Unika Architecture & Urbanism, this is accomplished through the new planning structure that installs broken links with neighboring quarters. Their design adds clarity to complicated pedestrian links and chaotic planning including program for the existing area into the surrounding urban structures. More images and architects’ description after the break.
There is a spontaneously built up market with chaotic planning, uncomfortable walkways and confusing visual connections.The Bazar Quarter is separated from the surrounding urban structures through its closed character and centripetal internal communications. Their design becomes possible with invariant movement: slow passing, walking and buying, rapid transit mall, riding a bicycle along new ways and to restore good visual connections.
