The Golden Edge project offers a thoughtfully structured and inspiring proposal that integrates storytelling with urban strategy. The legend of the Deer, Falcon, and Cedar adds a poetic layer that enriches the narrative of the Altai region as a mythical and strategic site. The presentation layout is clear and cohesive, guiding viewers through the vision of a multifunctional hub rooted in natural harmony and economic potential. The master plan is especially well-crafted—highlighting zoning clarity, hierarchy of movement, and seamless blending of built forms with biolandscape systems.
Your technical drawings and floorplans demonstrate a deep understanding of spatial functionality, particularly in the way international and domestic flows are organized within the airport structure. The zoning of public and secure areas is precise, and your vision of layered connectivity between levels shows attention to user experience. The overall framework clearly supports a functional yet inviting aerotropolis that prioritizes both people and place.
Visually, your renders are satisfying and evocative, giving a strong sense of scale, form, and future possibilities. The presentation board’s color palette is well-chosen—it’s calming, yet bold enough to convey innovation. Your written statements are grounded and sincere; they reflect your ambition to drive transformation in Gorno-Altaisk while preserving ecological and cultural integrity. It’s clear you poured intention and heart into this project.
As a suggestion, consider making vegetation and material textures more realistic in future renderings to strengthen immersion. Adding people in your visuals will also breathe more life into the scenes and reinforce the human-centered goals of the design.
Thank you, Daria Bessonova, Egor Orlov, and congratulations for joining the Inspireli competition. Golden Edge is not just a title—it’s a vision of balance, potential, and place. Your project offers a powerful glimpse into the future of Altai, and it’s beautifully done.
