Pearl

The project is on the monument’s site, dedicated to the Founders of Odesa on Kateryninska Square.

It is a multifunctional recreation area with landscaping, an interactive fountain, shadow constructions, and a platform for public events and performances in the city’s most beautiful scenery.

The square is a landmark for the city, and we propose to stop the trend of erecting monuments and symbols to the founders. The pearl of Odesa is a place for everyone, a memorial to every Odessan and those in love with Odesa.

A pearl on the Black Sea shore, in which everyone is reflected — a place where there is life and a desire to live.
