We began developing the park concept by analyzing the context and exploring the area’s identity. We discovered a connection to the renowned avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich, who drew inspiration from the local landscapes during his visits to the neighboring village. We proposed naming the park after Malevich to honor this connection, shaping the park’s image around the tradition of suprematism.
Our concept focuses on integrating nature and art, using basic geometric shapes like squares, circles, and triangles, along with reflective surfaces such as stainless steel paired with black accents. This minimalist architectural approach enhances the area’s natural beauty and vitality.
The park’s functional zones were designed based on input from the local community, ensuring that their needs were met while preserving as much woodland and existing landscape as possible.
