Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

I agree with Urmistake. Shut the hell up with all of the negitive comments. Armenians need to stop complaining about every damn thing, and offer some solutions instead. To top it all off we have that poz of a cat making his usual stupid comments about issues that do and never will pertain to him.

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

this is the kind of architechture armenia should try and emulate. We don't need insanely tall or flashy skyscrappers, just make beautiful buildngs. Also notice how the bricks and concrete in the two buildings aren't grey... there is so much grey in yerevan, it's one of the things that makes even buildings like the opera house look rather drab

I agree about Northern Avenue. I hate it even more than it looks like an urban desert. Where are all the trees? They can place them all along that long Northern Avenue stroll but they've left it empty...

They already made Yerevan a desert during Levon's time.

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

Would there be anywhere for trees to actually take root and grow - aren't there underground car parks and such like underneath the street, all along its length? Though maybe smaller trees in large pots could be placed there.

I was thinking of the latter. You're right on an underground parking being located just under (that I think is STILL not open).

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

If you people like the city in some other shape ... u know you can buy a property there then talk what is alright and what is not . im sick of your complains ,most of you haven't been in Armenia for long time ago....and most of you fail to see that is now the city is under construction...

My opinion is what ever they are building let them do it we need everything is new , from the pics i liked all of them.

And by your same standards, what right have you to praise these buildings since you also do not live there?

If you want to ask what those who live in Yerevan think, perhaps you should ask the people who were thrown out of their homes in central Yerevan to make way for these monstrosities, and given compensation that was so small that not only were they unable to buy one of these new properties, they couldn't even afford to buy some old soviet-period flat in the suburbs.

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

yes Armenia needs lots of new buildings but that doesn't mean they can't be beautiful

For instance St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral is actually quite ugly for the amount of work that went into it. It holds none of the beauty or intricacy of older Armenian churches.

And we are free to say what we want about it even if we are not there, just like we are allowed to comment on the politics of Armenia even though we don't live there

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

I think more the problem is that some buildings just look so out of place. I wish they would work on maintaining more of the Soviet Yerevan flavour. For example, the Northern Avenue just looks so out of place.

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments

Well it's not just that they're trying to emulate modren European Architechture, b/c modern European/American architechture is actually very good. It's just that they're doing it poorly, either by designing it poorly, or by building it a decent building but putting it somewhere where it doesn't belong
