A large-scale installation "Mayakovsky. The soul of Moscow." The new space for relaxation, meetings, walks and dates is dedicated to the famous poet, playwright, screenwriter, film director, actor and artist Vladimir Mayakovsky.

As the organizers noted, the site is designed in the style of constructivism, which originated about a century ago. This direction became the hallmark of the early Soviet period. Urban planners of the early twentieth century attached great importance to the functional purpose of the building.

Attention was also paid to constructivism by Mayakovsky, who used this trend in the rhythm of versification when creating "Windows of Growth". Tonic verse, the variety and ambiguity of rhymes, the use of neologisms, chopped, "turned out" phrases with are characteristic of Mayakovsky's catchy poetry.

The elements of the installation, created in the style of constructivism, form a unique frame of the Triumfalnaya Square. Landscape designers have selected the brightest plants for him, first of all, all kinds of red colors and shades, well recognizable in Mayakovsky's palette.

The geometric figures of Mayakovsky have become an additional addition to the design of the space. Also made in red tones, silhouettes 2 and 4 meters high are located in different parts of the Triumfalnaya Square. In addition, ponds with koi carp appeared there. The pools for them are made in the form of simple geometric shapes. A canopy is located above each artificial reservoir, providing blackout for a more comfortable observation of fish. In the dark, reservoirs are illuminated by soft lighting.
