ALLUR Construction
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many abandoned industrial buildings and areas were left in Armenian cities, and the modernisation and reuse of these sites remain among the most significant challenges. The former bread factory in Dilijan is a building reinterpreted in a new format, which served the entire region during the Soviet years but no longer functions. The building and its surrounding area are abandoned and in a state of disrepair. According to the project proposal, the factory is intended to be reconstructed and reinterpreted, creating a new residential complex where the main proportions and structural skeleton framing of the building are preserved, along with the large openings characteristic of the factory, which emphasise the constructive tectonics of the building and integrate it into the natural landscape of Tavush. To meet seismic standards, reinforcements have been implemented. At all stages of the project, the aim has been to maintain the internal character, factory atmosphere, and scale.
Point of View Cafe’s Concept
The main idea of our design concept is to use the incredible views that open from the rooftop of the AGBU headquarters in Yerevan. Among all the views from different parts of the roof, is a gorgeous scene of Mount Ararat with nothing in its way to block it. Mount Ararat is a snow-capped and dormant compound volcano and is a great part of the national identity of Armenians. The design includes a triangle from the points of minimum boundary of view of Mount Ararat and people who will sit in that triangle will always be looking at the majestic mountain.
AYB Middle School Construction
