Can we cherish and keep a cultural heritage for generations to come if it has already been destroyed by another object, which has become heritage itself? What if this action is taking place in a multilayered city with it’s contemporaty demand for quality design, green space, entertainment venues and well thought out traffic and pleasant living conditions overall? With “kVartal Run” we set out to prove that, yes, we can.

We manage to:
• Take advantage of the present day advanced technologies and show all the sides of a multilayered city without sacrificing one valuable piece for the other.
• Use the tool that everybody has in their pocket- the smartphone- to entertain, educate and inform.
• Suggest a solution to pressing issues in this neighborhood such as traffic and pedestrian way rearrangement and housing for a book market.
• Keep the area as a green and pleasant space for relaxation.

Most importantly we create an environment where multiple, seemingly incompatible, pieces of cultural heritage coexist together and perfectly and harmoniously blend in the busy modern city that is Sofia.
