Electric Architects

“Electric City - 25 Visions for Yerevan”

Electric Architects is a Moscow-born but Yerevan-based studio working at the intersection of architecture, urban strategies, and design research. Their process is cinematic—every project treated as a scenario, every space composed with narrative tension. They represented Armenia at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, staged Total Drama Festival—the largest contemporary art event in the country. Their work spans cities, interiors, landscapes, and narratives.

As they call it - their recent scenes included: TUMO Centre in Masis - a new modular typology for TUMO centres, The largest wooden structure in Armenia

— a dramatic horse stable complex in raw timber, Moscow’s most expensive residential building, three cafés in London, two in Abu Dhabi, dozens in Armenia, two wineries, each blending context with invention, Sunday Towers multifunctional complex of 100.000 m2, two Urbansim oriented project based learning units with AYB School, founded “Electric Studios” collectible furniture brand, and “Monotopia” furniture dealership source and many more.

In 2024-2025, the electric architects studio, and in particular its urban planning department, created a series of projects dedicated to the urban environment of Yerevan. The projects concerned both entire streets and individual squares, as well as parks, small squares, street furniture and research into the problems of public spaces. In addition, events were held that created a modern discourse around the topic of urban planning and its importance for the city and the country as a whole. All projects were made as a gift to the city, at the behest of professional duty and good intentions aimed at the development of the republic and the capital.

The high expertise of architects and planners, as well as reliance on the best international practices in the field of urbanism, made it possible to create high-quality and fast solutions that are suitable specifically for yerevan. However, despite this, it should be noted that for a higher-quality and systematic result, a single strategic document for urban planning should be developed. Such work requires a lot of time and personnel resources, but is necessary for the development of the urban environment within the framework of recognized European and western standards.

Yerevan 2750 Anniversary Park

Located directly beside the city’s central square, 2750 Park is a historic green enclave with deep Soviet-era roots and an established canopy of mature trees. The project preserves the park’s identity by restoring its original linear fountains running the full length of the site, bringing them back to working condition rather than replacing them. A system of lightweight canopies is introduced to expand shaded zones, while all cafés are consolidated into a few contemporary pavilions to declutter the space without sacrificing amenities. The ground plane is reimagined with modern loose-fill surfacing, adding a refined yet soft character without erasing the park’s historical depth. Designed as a flexible, open framework, the park will serve as a main stage for the city’s recurring food festivals, seasonal fairs, and large public events, reinforcing its role as an active civic arena.

Gevorg Kochar Street

In the very heart of Yerevan, Kochar Street is being transformed into a vibrant cultural corridor adjacent to both the city’s Drama Theatre and its contemporary experimental “Drama Laboratory.” Surrounded by universities and a young urban audience, the street is redesigned as a wide pedestrian zone with cafés at ground level, strong visual identity, and generous tree coverage. A cascade-like topography and a thin water line enrich the spatial experience, while vivid colors and an orthogonal grid-based design give the space a crisp, contemporary character. The surface is executed in a durable bound stone aggregate, ensuring longevity without losing tactile appeal. Conceived as an open-air art platform, Kochar Street merges youth energy, theater culture, and urban design into a single public stage.

Saryan square (in collaboration with Roman Grigoryan)

Directly opposite the Saryan Museum, this small urban square is being reconceived after years of underuse as an overlooked children’s playground. The project leverages the site’s sharp slope to craft a contemporary multi-level playscape while simultaneously forming a refined public terrace for everyday urban life along Yerevan’s most active cultural street. Minimalist in language and built in aesthetic architectural concrete, the design introduces modern play equipment and well-formed seating zones, turning a neglected fragment into a compact but high-intensity social space at the city’s core.

Poplavok Park

Poplavok Park is a large central green space with a Soviet-modernist legacy, defined by its artificial lake and mature tree canopy. The redevelopment preserves the park’s historical structure while introducing contemporary infrastructure: a unified modern children’s area replacing the outdated, haphazard playgrounds, clear walking routes, modern surfacing, and new urban furniture. A central focus is returning the water to the city, enhancing the lake and shaping its waterfront into a timber-decked promenade — a welcome respite in the city’s summer heat. A contemporary pavilion and café areas are nestled under the trees, activating the space without disturbing the landscape. The result is a generous, walkable, family-friendly park that honors its modernist roots while reconnecting the city with its water and civic life.clear walking routes, modern surfacing, and new urban furniture.
