MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS CANNOT BE BUILT IN THE PARK
02:17 pm | Today | Social
Why did a semi-built building collapse in Yerevan center and can a
similar building be erected in a central park?
“We have repeatedly said that multi-story reinforced concrete buildings
are forbidden to be constructed in Oghakadzev (Circular) Park which
is overladen with parks. Today we are witnessing that these cafes
are turning into huge, multi-story buildings,” said Mkrtich Minasyan,
President of the Union of Architects.
The architect does not exclude that the building may have collapsed
because of technical shortcomings.
“A commission has been set up to investigate the collapse,” he added.
A semi-built building collapsed in Khanjyan Str. in Yerevan at around
1:10 pm, Oct. 25, injuring at least 11 people. Eight of the injured
were hospitalized immediately after the collapse.
