The town-planning decision.

Urban analysis of the location area of the complex in the urban fabric of Yerevan convinces the authors in a dominant position under review in an urban area of the city. The area can be seen both from the lower parts of the city, and with the upper amphitheater encircling them around the perimeter, and the proposed architectural composition of the complex will be, from all points of the city, the dominant architectural and urban design. Based on the geometry of the street network projected high-rise complex in scope and dynamic expression of the silhouette, will be the final focus thoroughfares of the city, focused on him. The authors proposed the idea of consciously deploy the entire high-rise hotel building block in the south-western horizon, rumba, where the panorama of the city center can be seen visually ends with the south of the biblical Mount Ararat, including undeveloped steep slopes overlooking the platform area is very valuable in understanding the organic sculptural silhouette created by the architectural object derived from natural natural context, thus, as if drawing into its structure the urban environment. The dominant axial direction of the complex, which is accentuated by the vertical size hotels, is the Terjan street.

The territory of the complex includes, besides the actual architectural level, the main entrance to open car parks, the main square with a fountain, a sports area with tennis court, landscaped square with flower gardens, flower beds and alleys.

For door transport to the main entrance to the hotel's public areas and maintenance of the complex, as well as for the passage of emergency vehicles and fire mechanisms designed through an annular passage between the hotel building and the building of the pool, with the departure of the square.

Architectural decisions.

The basis of the conceptual idea of constructing an architectural object on a small plateau areas with steep terrain, based on the principle tactful, soft and harmonious growing into it in the natural folds and contours, emphasizes the natural confluence of natural and man-made artificial entity to be shaped at a powerful plastic dominates the hotel. In the compositional structure of the complex harmonically use natural slopes and terraces, forming a picturesque plateau, and unsuitable for traditional construction methods. This planning method has allowed to achieve the effect of wholeness, completeness and sufficiency of complex multi-functional complex. The complex consists of the following functional groups of buildings and units:

А - 28 - storey terraced, semi-circular in plan, hotel «InterContinental»;

Б - The VIP-hotel with terraces-apartments;

Е - Waterpark with open swimming pool;

Ж - Covered transition over roads with lifts and the moving sidewalks, connecting a city square with a complex on a plateau;

И – Thematic illuminated fountain.
