The area which was supposed to become a part of the new dam is now abandoned and empty, although it has a great potential due to its unique landscape. Airat Zadullin proposes using the remaining constructive elements as a base for a public space, including a cafe, workshop and lecture areas, observation decks and a yacht-club. Aimed to bring local society together as well as it reconnects nature with urban life. With the help of a wooden platform on the same level as the existing promenade, this part of the bank will be easily accessed.
