Five teams selected for Stage II of "Russia" Theme Park competition

Five teams were selected for the second stage of the international architectural "Russia" theme park competition. The Jury, the Expert Council, and "Russia" park representatives met this past September to begin searching for the concept and financial model for the theme park.

Twenty-six submissions out of 180 registered applicants from 41 countries made it to Stage I, which was then narrowed down to 18 after the Expert Council made further evaluations.

Out of those 18 submissions, only 5 finalists were selected to move on to Stage II:

• BBDB: Balmori + base4+ DBA Proekt

The conceptual structure of the theme park is organized into designated areas for various activities, attractions and other features. These areas include Entertainment, Educational, Landscape, Commercial, Sports, and a Health Center.
