Architect hails Municipality’s initiative on demounting cafes in Opera territory
Yerevan municipality has started a brilliant initiative by demounting cafes in the territory of Opera, architecture Anahit Tarkhanyan said, speaking to Aysor.am.
He said it is above any doubts that all the cafes in the Opera territory must be demounted and clean air in downtown Yerevan must be ensured by creating green territories.
“This was the first thing that should have been done. I hail the process launched by the municipality. As to the cafes acting in the Oval park, this is completely other conversation. They need deeper studies,” she said.
As to the attics built on the residential buildings, the architect said that their appearance distorts the architectural face of the capital.
“My opinion is that the attics should not be demounted by receive a special style to be in the harmony with the capital’s style. The existing ones are not beautiful. They need to be changed,” Tarkhanyan said that if changed they may be preserved.
The architect also drew the attention of the Municipality on the consequences of the basalt workshops acting in Yerevan with violations.
“About 40-50% of the dust is the result of activity of 300 workshops. The basalt workshop acting near the former Youth Chamber is a shame, the biggest share of dust comes from there. Without thinking which production must be closed,” she said.
