The Committee for the Protection of Yerevan’s Heritage has organized an idea competition for the urban revitalization of the District 33 in Yerevan, Armenia, to find alternative approaches to this valuable historic urban area.
District 33, better known to the public as “Firdusi”, is one of the last surviving historical districts of Yerevan, which is located in the city center, next to the Republic Square. The current project to be implemented in the area has raised public complaints and uproar, as for the past 20 years the weak policies in urban planning have erased the historical and cultural layers in Yerevan, leaving several extracts that are waiting for their turn to be demolished.
