Moscow Officials Have Revealed a New Sneak Peak of the Russian Capital’s Latest Designer Park.
The 10-hectare park was created in partnership with
Dutch-American architect Jerry Van Eyck, as part of ongoing regeneration at the
former ZIL factory site in the south of the capital.
The factory produced lorries and limousines
throughout the Soviet era and until the early 2010s, when Moscow mayor Sergey
Sobyanin decided to transform the space into a hub for creative businesses. The
building is now home to an experimental theatre collective, with the Hermitage
Museum also interested in opening a new Moscow branch inside.
Plans are also underway to build homes for more
than 38,000 people in the area, with project due to be completed by 2025.
