Till 60-th years, till the development of the Kiev’s metropolitan , system of the lakes and the embankment developed very actively. But with the appearance of the Gidropark metro-station, the zone of a rest shifted to the islands. The Embankment became a “dead zone”, excluded from the recreational fund of Kiev., access of the people to which is problematic.
In the analysis we indentified the structure of obstacles, which complicate access to the embankment. They are: the system of the parks on Kiev’s hills and Naberejnaya highway, which is placed at the foot of the hills.
The main conceptual decision in the including of Kiev’s hills and embankment of the city-life.
And we asked ourselves, where must we create this inclusions? For the answer to it we made the analysis of Kiev’s hills.
We decided to identify by the projecting methods the most important obstacles on this territory, most of which is abandoned now.
In this way, the main axis of the urban attraction were found and the most important historical objects are on this axis. We decided to create public spaces with introduction of cultural, recreational and educational functions along them.
So this project solves the problem of the absence of communication between the central structure of Kiev and Dnieper-river.

By the vertical connections-stairs, lifts, rampants, escalators we overcome the difficult relief of the hills and create platforms above Naberejnaya highway, with the purpose to create access to the water.This platforms are the cultural centers with theatres, museums and places for rest.
