The Monument to the Soviet Army has been partially dismantled and is currently awaiting a court decision on its future.

The proposal for this green observation tower on the same place went viral and sparked widespread public discussion. I was amazed by the overwhelmingly positive response, receiving a large number of congratulations and very few negative reactions.

The National Stadium in Sofia tends to paralyze the city center whenever large events are held, while noise and loud music frequently disturb local residents.

The proposal explores the idea of relocating the stadium next to Sofia Airport. The public discussion it generated—covering issues such as metro connectivity, road capacity, and airport infrastructure—reached an almost professional level of depth and engagement. Once again, the response was overwhelmingly positive, with very few negative reactions.

I deliberately speculated with this visual by SOM for a project in Hangzhou, imagining it built over Sofia’s Central Railway Station.

For many years, the area around the Central Railway Station has been expected to develop as the “Gateway to the Northern City.” The revitalization of this zone is a long-standing urban dream that is still waiting for its moment—like many similar areas around the world.

There were no dislikes. Just a lot of smiles.
