One of the most famous and beloved films by director
S.I. Rostotsky is "The Dawns Here Are Quiet." (Dawns spells
in russian like "Zori").
The park is positioned in a way that offers beautiful views
of the dawn and sunrise.
The city where the park is located is called Vysotsk.
Thus, the name "Vysotskie Zori" (wich means Vysotsk Dawns in english) was formed.

The park's logo was also influenced by the shapes and objects surrounding the park and it's idea.
In this area, snakes were present due to its geological structure. However, during our research, we discovered
that a hedgehog had settled in the area. Snakes and hedgehogs cannot coexist in the same territory. Therefore, when a hedgehog arrives, all the snakes leave. We provided
a house for the hedgehog. The design of the house is unique, maintaining its appearance within the overall concept.
The composition is an acknowledgment of the cultural wealth created by the Soviet director Stanislav Iosifovich Rostotsky, embodying respect for his personality and the memory
of the place.

The path leading to the highest point of the park is framed by a film strip. As one walks through the twisted fragments of their life, they shift their perception paradigm, allowing for a moral evolution. At some point, there comes the realization that you are the director of your life! Approaching the final point,
the apotheosisof the journey, you - encounter the sunrise.

The composition is situated facing the bay, positioned to offer
a view of the sunrise from this vantage point. Additionally, from this spot, one can clearly see the tower in the city of Vyborg, where director S.I. Rostotsky founded the film festival "Window to Europe."

  • Ensure accessibility and safety in the park with minimal interventions.
  • Provide functional and recreational diversity within the park area.
  • Identify cultural and historical value and reflect it in the project at the architect's discretion.
The project area covers 2.5 hectares. The site is a unique geological feature, consisting of rocks made from exposed bedrock, smoothed and polished by glacial movement.

Additionally, the site has significant tourism potential
due to the proximity of cultural heritage sites such
as the "Trångsund" fortress and the Vyborg fortress,
as well as hosting regattas.
