Inspired from theVisual Media arts, Bulgaria Media Park is a project developed to create an urban, multifunctional, eco-industrial park-structure in the suburbs of the capital, that combines the manifacture, public services, entertainment, culture, education, trading, Food and Wellness, living.
The situation in Bulgaria is exactly the opposite - the Media production in spreaded in different location around the city, which makes them slow and not efficient. Main corps of the mass media are located in the downtown area of the capital, which constrains their building expanding and results in a parking lot deficit. Based on the fact that Bulgarian taxes, beautiful and unique nature, antique architecture, nice climate and well-educated video-production teams, the international productions’ interest for mass media production towards our country raises. In addition to the previous, there is no equivalent park in the Balkan Peninsula. Therefore, the build of such a park will develop the Bulgarian economy which will give a result in expanding the incomes from investments in the country and decreasing of the unemployment in the country. The chosen area where the park will be constructed is precisely chosen based on its area qualities - its in undeveloped area, but still close to the three most important road connections in Sofia. There is a rail way station and Sofia Airport near the area. Because it is in undeveloped area, it allows future expansion of the park. The field is located to natural landmarks - close to Park “Vrana”, “Iskar” river and two lakes. As important as the urbanisation of the area, it is crucial that during the build process of the park, all the trees in the are will remain in their places and there is a plan of planting at least 300 000 trees. The development of such a park in this area will enrich the area and make it more popular for developing it as urban area with all the positives of the city life. In the project is developed the main building of the Mass media park - the building “Festival of cinema” - inspired by the nature, it is surrounded by green field inside and outside the building. At this moment there is no appropriate place in Bulgaria for hosting big movie festivals, award celebrations, movie premieres and tv production openings, therefore the main building will cover these needs.
