1. The Lawn-and-park ensemble “Promenade”, Omarova str., Almaty, Kazakhstan
(2014, arch. Konstantin I.Samoilov, “Europolis”): the Concept description
The Lawn-and-park ensemble "Promenade" is projected on a plot which
located on the Zh.Omarva Street in the Medeu district of Almaty,
Kazakhstan. The Northern boundary of the site is adjacent to the ending bus
stop and cars parking for the "Koktobe moutain" complex.
On the South side it is adjacent to the "Europolis" complex. The site
stretches from north to south. The Eastern boundary of the site is fixed local
travel, Western boundary of the site – plots for individual residential building
development.
The Art concept (the wish of the Customer) – an Ethnographic park (a
Kazakh traditions theme) with a garden ensemble. On the basis of the
interpretation of the traditional forms of Nomadic and Settled cultures
synthesis shaped image of buildings, constructions, small architectural
forms and elements of improvement.
Key points: the Main Entrance (the area at the City wall Gate), the
Oriental Bazaar (pavilions, tents, trays, shelves, carts), the Aul – nomadic
settlement (yurts), Workshops of craftsmen (a blacksmith, a carpenter, a
tinsmith, a shoemaker, a tailor, a jeweler), Pavilions and yurts of the Kazakh
national kitchen, the Amphitheatre, the Area for traditional Kazakh national
games and attractions, the Khan headquarter (tents), the Ritual space, the
Fortress.
The  Special space – "The Gourmet's Avenue" – a set of themed
restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, eateries, coffee shops. Architectural and
artistic design of two dozen blocked modular pavilions demonstrates the
cultural diversity of different nations and ethnic groups. The bases of images
are stereotypes of the Mass culture, which ensures a simple recognition of
the Theme. Alternating of restaurants have a casual character, reflecting the
ethnic conglomerate of modern Society.
