In 2014, Tomsk was recognized as the “Russian capital of design”. In honor of this in the Oktyabrsky district of the city, designers were opened. “We already have a street of architects in a new area. But the designers street will be the most designer in Tomsk. Cedars that will be planted by eminent designers and installations will appear there, ”the Tomsk administration claimed .
However, it began to improve the street of designers only this summer. Now she looks like this:

Instead of installations and cedars, the city authorities plan to install the entrance sign “For the convenience of navigation” on the street, plant Pennsylvania ash and equip a square with benches decorated with birdhouses and pencils.


The protocol of public discussion states that the meeting was attended by 28 people. They approved the landscaping of the territory and offered to make an “experimental training ground for the TGASU design department” from the street.
According to the deputy governor of the Tomsk region, Yevgeny Parshuto, the repair work will be completed by the fall, and the chairman of the All -Russian Union of Designers will arrive to evaluate the improvement of the street. Parshuto claims that the street of designers is the only one in the world (but this is not entirely true).
