The
site is within the UNESCO zone in the center of the russian city of
Yaroslavl.Our goal was to respect as much as possible the historical layer at a
depth near 1 m. Thus, we proposed to transform the existing site(an out of
regulation running field to be demolished) into a new cultural HUB which
integrates 3 different uses of the existing space. We aimed to take the concept
of “Flexible space” to another level, not only by creating a building that
could change its interior spatial distribution at any given time, but one that
at the same time integrated in its overall design 3 different programs: a
container for Culture at the lower level (2 Museums), to become a Summer
Memorial site surrounded by nature(in memory of the 2011 accident of the
Lokomotiv Yaroslavlv ice hockey team victims)and, during Winter, transform
itself into an Ice skating rink for the people, a 3X1
