park of reflections / conceptual project


Conceptual project for the organization of the recreational zone 
The main theme of this project - theme park - is the study of the emotional world of a person, related to the impact on his or her perception. In this project, the impact on the visitor occurs at different levels - with the help of color, sound, sense of space. The structure of the park zone symbolizes a person's passage of a small section of his or her life path, with its complexities and beautiful moments, with takeoffs and falling. This path is subordinate to a cyclic structure, which refers to the cyclic nature of life, change of moods, time, etc.
The point is that feelings can be different, not always unambiguously colored, but, passing through these areas, a person absorbs these different emotions, so that then rethink and start a new round of their path. This is the way of contemplation, reflection, joy and thoughtfulness, of rethinking what was and returning to the whirlpool of life with new thoughts.
The goals of the project:
- to create conditions for the mass recreation of different groups of visitors;
- improvement of the territory;
- development of new communication practices.
Objectives of the project: 
to create conditions for mass recreation of different groups of visitors; to improve the territory; to develop new communication practices; organization of walking environment, including by the water, planning and zoning of the territory, creating an environment comfortable for all categories of visitors, search for a harmonious and interesting conceptual solution.

The problem with the precinct:
Walking routes are only present where the walkers have laid them themselves. After precipitation it is very difficult to go down to the area and move around in general, the paths become unusable. There are also improvised landfills in addition to scattered small heaps of rubbish. In some places, you can see improvised recreation areas with a broken fire, such organization of fires is not safe. Despite this, the area has great potential as a place for recreation, entertainment and communication - it has a convenient location and, at its expense, a large population coverage. The area is both near the private sector and the new area, so different segments of the population can visit the park. Also, the residents of the new area have no analogues in terms of entertainment, as there are no park areas nearby, despite the fact that there are large "green" areas nearby, otherwise people would not gather in difficult places to find a place to relax and entertain.
A zoning scheme is proposed to address the issue of the territory. Improvement of recreation areas, organization of special places for picnics, outdoor entertainment. The main aesthetic filling is color zoning and illusiveness of some objects (art objects and small architectural forms), play of reflections and highlights combined with minimalistic style in general. It is assumed that the area will change thanks to visitors to the park, who can contribute to the appearance of the environment - paint, decorate objects, etc. The park should be as friendly to visitors as possible, but to keep them from clogging the area and vandalism. The territory of the park zone is large enough to accommodate a large number of visitors so that people who need a quiet rest without environment can always find a place where they can enjoy silence, and those who need company or a certain type of activity can easily navigate thanks to the clear zoning of the first half of the park, where most of the functional areas are located.

The main idea of this theme park is to study the emotional world of a person, the impact on his or her perception. The structure of the park symbolizes the passage of a man a short section of life, with its complexities and happy moments. As a whole the park zone is divided into two global zones - a zone of "chaos" where the person passes through various emotional situations where there is an influence on his or her sense organs and on his or her perception as a whole, and a zone of "harmony" where the person gets, passing through the first global zone is a zone of reflections, contemplation, rethinking of that was and returning again in a whirlpool of paints and various feelings. The smaller zones within the larger ones are divided into two more parameters - each of them has its own color and sense organ, which it is intended to influence. Colors are selected according to their effect on the person (e.g. red is an exciting color, so it is in the sports area). Sense organ - depending on the type of activity on the site (for example, scene - hearing, etc.). Coloured transparent panels, mirrors, small optical illusions are placed on the playgrounds.

In general, the zones can be divided into zones of "process" and zone of "harmony", the differences can be seen in the stylistic solution of the sites. The "process" zones can also be entered from different sides, which symbolizes that each person goes and learns the world in his or her own way, and the entrance to the zone of harmony is one and meets the stairs, that is, in order to enter into harmony with himself or herself, a person must make some effort and conquer this height. The zone of "harmony" also has its "lowland" - a place by the pond with planting of trees - that place where one can listen to nature. The forest symbolizes a place of abundant plant life, free from any control and influence.
In general, zones of "process" - zones that are painted with a clear function, zones of knowledge and feeling, the zone of "harmony" - as a result of passing the past zones, a place of peace, finding yourself, summing up.
