KYIV CITY HALL
Reconstruction of the first floor
The concept of creating an open and public space for the Kyiv city hall has been discussed for a long time. So, in March 2016, public activists and the Kyiv City Council signed a memorandum of cooperation. After the study of the building, a workshop was held with the participation of city hall’s representatives, architects, engineers, designers and active citizens. The results of joint developments have become a report and a list of recommendations for the renovation of the first floor of the City Hall.
According to the recommendations, the new public space from the AIMM should be open - a minimum of internal walls, stairs and other barriers, automatic doors, good lighting, etc. The role of security measures is increasing, but they should not be intrusive and scare people away. At the entrance, there must be a reception where the consultants can filter the flow of visitors and coordinate those who came to the address.

A critical moment is a precise distribution of the City Hall employees to the front office, where they communicate directly with visitors, and back-office, where they work with documents and don't contact visitors.
In addition to administrative services, the city hall should place an information centre where you can learn about the city's development plans and cultural events.

Workers who lead the reception of citizens will be in the so-called open space. Visitors will wait their turn in a convenient co-working, where they can communicate with each other and representatives of public organizations and social services. Recommendations also provide for the creation of lectures and children's rooms and other activities that will attract citizens.
