CULTURAL CRITERIA FOR URBAN CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO ARTISTS
The Council Of Cultural Issues at RA President’s Staff was
discussing the main layout of Yerevan city with RA President Robert
Kocharian. Famous representatives of Armenian music, cinema and
theatre were present at the discussion of the urban construction
issues in Yerevan.
Chief Architect of Yerevan represented the main layout of the city,
as well as some drafts for the coming construction works.
The main problem of the layout is the further enlargement of the
city’s transportation network. It is envisaged to construct a number
of roads that will pass around the center of the city.
It is also envisaged to construct not only underground but also
elevated multistoried car parks.
The plans will be implemented in the Main Avenue, i.e. in the area
between the Main Post Office and the National Picture Gallery. It is
not envisaged to build tall buildings not to spoil the panorama of
the buildings surrounding the Republic Square.
