Center – Zone 1, Sofia

The main goal of the competition entry is to challenge the imagination of the public by a three-dimensional reintegration of the once emblematic space of the “Canal”. The proposal is based on 10 main ideas:

1. “Green Wave” along the Zone
2. “Hanging” pedestrian promenade – board walk over the channel
3. Crossing the boulevard by pedestrian bridges and a new underpass
4. A cantilevered pedestrian promenade over Lake Ariana
5. Covered car parking on both sides of the stadium
6. Proposal for a three- story Green Park with panoramic terrace
7. The area of the former Yunak stadium – converted into an urban arts center
8. Integration through green design of the two parking lots along Knyazheska Garden
9. Improve and increase green areas, incl. using hanging plants – the biological filter
10. Complete improvement of the street scape and design.
