Industry Garden Manifesto
Industry Garden’s core features are functional and artificial pipes, local botany garden, skatepark and series of public art objects. Public space territory resembles a total installation with its distinctive philosophy and image.
Pipelines
Reminding industrial spirit of the space, gase pipelines have become the main architectural device. These pipelines are highly mutifunctional as you can have a rest and lean or sit down on them; some of them are turned into lighting poles, garbage bins and signposts.
Botany
Nature’s return to the city is the the basis of the new space philosophy. Here, trees, herbs and bushes literally grow through the asphalt and prevail the industrial scope and rigid scenery of the boiler house. Project’s plants were partly picked during the ethno-botanical expedition on the surrounding hills of Almetyevsk in 2020. QR-codes will provide information about the herbs known by everyone from the early childhood.
Skatepark
Almetyevsk community of riders took an active part in the first concrete skate park design. The park was built and designed in accordance with the local riding style and it meets the needs of Almetyevsk skate and bmx riders.
Art objects
In fact, nowadays the industrial square territory has become a wide-scale installation which rethinks the role of industry in the city ecosystem, pathfinding of the modern man, and world’s transformations and changes. At the same time, the territory keeps already well-known objects: a mural «Theories of the Genesis of Oil», a media sculpture «Solar torch», a laser installation «Nokta».
