Reconstruction of the Jeanne Labourbe Park in Odesa, Ukraine by Melnikov ArchitectsMay 15th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Melnikov Architects Located in Odessa, Ukraine the Jeanne Labourbe Park is a transit space between historic residential area at the level of a plateau and Primorskaya Street lying along the foot of the hill, which is a main road of a predominantly industrial dock-side district. For decades the Park situated on a hillside remains an abandoned and unsafe place. The main purpose of the project is to develop the recreational and entertaining role of the Park, while preserving the elements of the unique historical environment, wildlife and the landscape. To engage the public deep into the Park we propose a set of magnets – various points of attraction for every target audience: e.g. playgrounds, sports grounds, an open-air theater, places for cultural actions, exhibitions spaces, observation decks, recreation areas as well as public amenities and lavatories.

Over its entire length the art space is covered by a decorative pergola which also acts as outdoor lightning . The proposed pedestrian overpass allows to form a holistic space of the Park by creating a longitudinal horizontal axis connecting all the points of attraction. The overpass turns the whole park into accessible environment friendly to the people with special needs, cyclists, families with small children, all segments of the population and people of different ages. Such a solution will also help to preserve the existing unique landscape, flora and fauna of the Park and to ensure unobstructed drainage of groundwater.

The proposed overpass in its turn is a barrier-free way within the middle of the Park. Existing steps connecting the level of a plateau and the industrial area down the hill to be carefully preserved and reconstructed.
