Lēmniscātus
CASE NR.8
Yaroslavl, Russia
Spartacus Alive Design Competition




History and culture rely on a cohesive harmonious relationship. History informs and shapes the culture of a society and in turn that culture defines history with the passage of time. History and culture coexist and become significant through the success of this relationship. To create architecture that is successfully integrated into a historical context the same type of relationship is required between architecture and its contextual environment. It is the quality of this relationship between old and new that is critical, not the architectural language per se.
Lēmniscātus is designed as a submissive form amongst surrounding historical master works. The organic forms of the roof and glazing structures enhance the gentle and fluid landscape. It adds new layers to the fabric of the city while providing an iconic structure through contrasting the existing historic character. Lēmniscātus celebrates the special character and quality of the historic environment that communities have recognized as important and wish to conserve for future generations.
