Reconstruction of Uspenska Square
The Ukrainian city of Dnipro has opened a renovated Uspenska Square, one of the oldest squares in the city. It was established more than 200 years ago. Dnipro is now an industrial city with over a million dwellers located 100 kilometers from the front line of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The reconstruction of Uspenska Square began in 2021, with 80% of the work completed, but in February 2022, the construction was forced to stop due to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Therefore, at the end of 2023, the reconstruction was completed and the square was opened to the public.

With light technologies, we have transformed an inactive chimney into an art object, symbolizing a new vector of the city's development. From an industrial metropolis, Dni... More
