Design Competition Announcement: Development of the Samara Arena Masterplan

Published on 21 May 2020

We are thrilled to announce that our consortium, led by IND Architects, is one of the four finalists in the International Competition for the development of a masterplan for the 360 hectares area adjacent to the Samara Arena Stadium in southern Russia.

JTP will also be working alongside UNStudio (Netherlands), AB DOM (Samara), Knight Frank Russia (Moscow), Spectrum Group (Moscow) and NIITDH (Moscow), to develop our ideas for the future use of the infrastructure and land surrounding the 2018 FIFA World Cup football stadium. The designs will aim to transform the territory into a ‘new hub for urban development and community, business, and cultural life.’

The competition jury included Samara region governor Dmitry Azarov; Igor Galakhov, head of the office of the chief architect of the administration of the Samara City District; Anatoly Barannikov, chief architect of the Samara Region; and Valeri Poli, partner at Valode & Pistre Architectes in Paris.

“
Our goal is not just to preserve the infrastructure that we have already created, but also to provide the development of this promising venue with new momentum. I am confident that the best architects will be able to present interesting solutions and will transform this territory into a magnet for locals and guests from all over the world.

On June 10-11, an online orientation workshop for finalists will take place and the winner of the competition will be selected after the final meeting of the jury on September 17.
