Zoo Architects are the British Government’s present to St Petersburg
The year 2003 signals the anniversary of the founding of St Petersburg
and to commemorate this unique occasion, many countries throughout the
world have chosen to gift 'birthday presents' to the city. The British
government is participating in these celebrations with its own programme
of events under the name UK@StPb2003.
The purpose of this project is to bring St Petersburg’s established historical
links with Scottish architecture and its architects up to date to enable
Scottish and Russian architects to work together with communities in the
city.
Zoo has been asked to run education workshops and to design the pilot
project for a new public space in St Petersburg.
Zoo have been asked to use their considerable experience to help local
professionals and communities in St Petersburg develop the repertoire
of skills needed to tackle the gap sites scattered around the edges of
the cities and its large areas of public housing. The intention is to
hold a series of education workshops and create at least one public space
as a pilot project and model for other such developments by local architects
and communities.
Peter Richardson and Sally Nicol of Zoo will be in St Petersburg for the
launch of the UK@StPb2003 programme.
