Tbilisi - Stefano Boeri Architetti has won a LOCO Alliance competition with "Loco Park," a masterplan designed to transform a 73,600-square-meter former Soviet locomotive factory into a vibrant, green neighborhood in the Georgian capital. The design features nine unique buildings connected by an "urban archipelago" of pedestrian-friendly public spaces, seamlessly integrating community gardens, linear boulevards, and a sports forest. Honoring the local material heritage, the new brick facades will be customized to reflect Tbilisi's traditional color palette of grey-blue, terracotta, green, dove grey, and mineral white.
