Panel 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201dThe design stays on a conceptual level and leaves many aspects and areas of the park unexposed. However, it does introduce valuable ideas that stand out among the other competition entries. The masterplan introduces connecting figures – a running loop and two green corridors that exceed the boundaries of the park and could establish a very strong spatial, programmatic and ecological connection between the park and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Programmatically, it gives interesting proposals for nature education and it puts emphasis on a variety of user groups. The tree nursery is kept in function and even extended to feed the green spaces and green axes in Sopor. It introduces greenification as a theatrical long term process, in which active residents can take part.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Jury feedback<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe design competition aimed at selecting the best project for the Cluj-Napoca East Park, for the award of the design contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The area already referred to as the “East Park” has a total surface of 45.5 ha and includes the water surface and the shores of Lake 3, the area of the former RADP nursery for plants and a wetland that, along with a chain of lakes, is a unique biotope in the urban environment. The new arrangement will ensure the conservation of the spontaneously developed wild habitat of the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the contracting authority wanted to arrange a park that fulfills the usual functions for this kind of public spaces, and that both socially and functionally reactivates the area through the landscape qualities of the created frames. By being integrated into the system of other urban planted areas, the future East Park will become an important node in the green network of the city and of the East area of the Cluj-Napoca municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participating at the announcement of the competition results were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition was organized in accordance with the Competition Rules of the International Union of Architects – UIA – and the provisions of the International Recommendations for Architecture and Urban Planning Competitions adopted at the General Conference of UNESCO of 1956, revised on 27 November 1978, in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the award of public procurement contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Design Competition was a public, single-stage competition, open to Romania, all countries of the European Union, of the European Economic Area, and to the Swiss Confederation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The design competition was organized as an independent procedure, in accordance with art. 105 letter a) of Law no. 98\/2016 regarding public procurement, and subsequently, pursuant to provisions under art. 104 para.
