Vologda is a distinctive ancient Russian city, spread across both banks of the river of the same name. It holds the status of the administrative center of the Vologda Oblast and is one of the largest cities in the Northwest of Russia. Vologda can boast a history of more than 8 centuries and its involvement in significant events that accompanied the formation of the Russian state. The city possesses a rich cultural and architectural heritage, attracting tourists with its ancient monuments, museums, and ethnographic centers.
Vologda is the lace capital of Russia, with unique traditions of wooden architecture, lace-making, church architecture, and icon painting.

The lace patterns in our lighting concept are a light image that serves as a recurring thread throughout the entire project. The lighting master plan, as a fabric of light, integrates into the urban context, weaving its own pattern of light and shadows. Pedestrian zones should be attractive both during the day and in the evening. Conscious lighting is important both from a functional standpoint and from the standpoint of aesthetic appeal. In the evening, the city, and especially its central tourist area, should be no less interesting than in the light of the sun.

Master plan for the city of Vologda

Location: Vologda
Customre: Rostelecom
The pedestrian route is part of the overall lighting master plan for the urban environment, which integrates into the overall fabric of the global project.

Vologda has more than 193 churches and other historical monuments, which form centers of attraction and routes for residents and guests of the city. These structures form the panorama of the city and are truly part of the national heritage.

The main and central objects cannot be left without attention in the evening and must become part of the lighting master plan, forming a distinctive route.

The architectural lighting of the ensemble of the Vologda Kremlin, in context with the lighting of Kremlin Square, will complement the evening appearance of the Kremlin. The status and historical and cultural value of this space are difficult to fully comprehend. It is precisely the new type of lighting that will create a truly unique interpretation and emphasize the uniqueness of Vologda.

Comprehensive lighting for the new embankment should become part of the overall lighting master plan. Architectural and artistic lighting of the bridges across the Vologda River will also add diversity to the river and pedestrian route in the evening.
Park lighting in ordinary cases combines a set of functions, and each of them is important to its own degree: functional, decorative, and presentation-related. To ensure the effective use of the lighting system in parks, all these functions must be equally contained in each light point.
