YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: Instead of the former youth chamber
international business center, dwelling house and hotel complex will
be built. In 2009 October a tender of architectural projects have
been declared with the participation of 1175 architects who have
presented 277 works and the tender jury selected the project of a
Japanese architect Kiyokazu Aray. “We will bring new technology,
new approaches and development to this sphere,” said the client of
the order director of the “Avantgarde Motors” company Eduard Avetisyan.
“When you like someone, you stretch your hand, this construction hugs
you, the air and land,” the newly appointed rector of the Kiyoto
architectural university Kiyokazu Aray said, noting that all the
rooms of the complex are sun-sided and 95% of them are looking at
Mount Ararat.
Head of the program, architect Levon Vardanyan noted that the
projected complex will essentially influence on the appearance of
Yerevan as the construction will be twice higher than the Youth
Chamber was. “The complex will be seen from all points of the town
and it is a building which will have its unique place,” the architect
noted that the selection of a Japanese architect is agreed with a
hope of best ensuring of seismic security.
“Kiyokazu Aray has fully understood the issue, he managed to present
the second variant of the project much better then the French one,”
head of the Union of Architects Mkrtich Minasyan said.
According to the organizers, construction works will soon launch
and in 3-4 years the complex will already be constructed. About 200
million USD will be invested for the implementation of the works and
all will be done by Armenian labor force.
