Organized by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design together with The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press.
Borgos Pieper is proud to announce that it has won a prize in the International Architecture Awards 2023. Since 2004, The Chicago Athenaeum together with The European Center for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies have organized The International Architecture Awards as a way in which to honor the best, significant new buildings, landscape architecture, and planning projects designed and/or built around the world’s leading architects, landscape architects, and urban planners practicing nationally and internationally. The International Architecture Awards give an important global overview of the current aesthetic direction of today’s commercial, corporate, institutional, and residential work to the real estate, banking, business, and corporate community, as well as to the press and general public worldwide.
For the 2023 Edition of the Awards a distinguished jury of international designers selected the winners from a field of over 850 submissions and 48 Countries in this Year’s 18th Edition of the International Architecture Awards.
The challenge of creating a new city quarter on the banks of the Kazanka River overlooking the historic city has provided us with the inspiration to bring a new relationship between the natural environment of the river and the man-made construction. Our concept is to metaphorically and physically merge and raise the riverside park atop new sloped buildings that provide a transition between the river and the city that extends on the North bank of the river. We have given the new development a distinctive arched profile to mark its place in the city from afar.Winners of the International architectural competition for the best development concept for the area on the right bank of the Kazanka River
The design proposal creates a new, ecologically sensitive scheme to provide a sustainable mixed-use district with 200,000m2 of accommodation woven into a new riverside park.

“The professional architects "vote" went more for the Spanish-British concept - it was proposed by the Borgos Pieper studio (Spain - England). Futuristic buildings, smoothly rising from the coast towards Sibgata Khakim Street, are filled with landscaped terraces. It somehow resembles either a wave, or a sail with semi-elliptical tops running towards Kazanka. Chief Architect of Kazan Ilsiyar Tukhvatullina notes that the ideas of Spanish designers for Kazan look spectacular, it looks like nothing else".
“The project is very strong, and if we implement it, it will set a new benchmark for the entire surrounding development,” she said. - There are also questions - how to implement this form of roofing in our climatic conditions? But there are such solutions in the world, you just need to study them and adapt them to our situation. It is difficult, but quite possible."
