URAM极限公园是俄罗斯最大的极限公园，由Legato体育建筑公司于2020年建造。建筑师们面临着一项艰巨的任务–建造一个公园。1）结合所有必要的体育设施，为极限运动员准备高水平的比赛，如奥运会，2）有简单的极限区，业余运动员将能够发展他们的骑行技能，3）适合喀山历史城市中心的背景，4）将成为一个开放和免费的城市休闲公共空间。
URAM Extreme Park is the largest extreme park in Russia, built in 2020 by Legato Sports Architecture. The architects faced a difficult task — to build a park that: 1) combines all the sports facilities necessary to prepare extreme athletes for high-level competitions, such as Olympic Games, 2) has simple extreme zones where amateur athletes will be able to develop their riding skills, 3) fits into the context of the historical city center of Kazan, 4) will become an open and free public space for urban recreation.
所有这些任务都已完成。此外，URAM成为世界上罕见的极端公园之一，它设法结合两种功能：同时成为奥林匹克运动员的专业训练场所，以及完全开放和自由的公共空间。Legato的全球目标是将体育建筑区分为俄罗斯建筑艺术的一个独立类型，而URAM极限公园已经成为这一梦想的体现。
All these tasks were completed. Moreover, URAM became one of the world’s rare extreme parks which manages to combine two functions: to be at the same time a professional training spot for Olympic athletes, and a completely open and free public space. The global goal of Legato is to distinguish sports architecture into a separate type of Russian architectural art, and URAM Extreme Park has become the embodiment of this dream.
例如，在创建滑板公园时，建设者不仅仅是 “一个点”，而是一个面积达数百平方米的混凝土雕塑（顺便说一下，许多建设者是专业车手和极限项目的冠军）。因此，入口组被做成可滑行的环形，供运动员娱乐的圆形剧场是指传说中的莫斯科 “坑”，作为一个自发的聚会和自我表达的地方。此外，URAM极限公园成为俄罗斯第一个具有可滑行街道家具的公共空间：多年生植物生长在具有可滑行边缘的花坛中。
For example, when creating a skatepark, builders made not just “a spot”, but a concrete sculpture with an area of hundreds of square meters (by the way, many builders are professional riders and champions in extreme disciplines). Thus, the entrance group is made in the form of a skateable loop, and the amphitheater for athletes’ recreation refers to the legendary Moscow “Pit” as a place of spontaneous parties and self-expression. In addition, URAM Extreme Park became the first public space in Russia with skateable street furniture: perennial plants grow in flower beds with skateable edges.
URAM极限公园的设计是相当简约的，所以建筑师非常注意强调细节。街道广场元素的侧面用马赛克板装饰，灵感来自苏联纪念碑艺术。同时，夏天在卡赞卡河堤坝上可以观察到的日落的色调在街球区的设计方案中得到了体现。
The design of the URAM Extreme Park is quite minimalistic, so the architects paid great attention to accentuated details. The side surfaces of the street plaza elements are decorated with mosaic panels inspired by Soviet monumental art. Meanwhile, the color palette of sunsets that can be observed in summer from the embankment of the Kazanka River has found expression in the design solution of the streetball area.
URAM极限公园是作为旨在改善喀山的生态状况和增加生物多样性的计划的一部分而创建的。极限物体使用了天然材料：空中公园的外墙由落叶松制成，街球区的硬涂层不会向环境排放有害元素，所有材料都很耐用。此外，为了使公园安全，使用了可滑行的花坛和绿地，而不是围栏。
URAM Extreme Park was created as part of a program aimed at improving the ecological situation in Kazan and increasing biodiversity. Natural materials were used for the extreme objects: the facade of the air park is made of larch, the hard coating of the streetball area does not emit harmful elements into the environment, and all the materials are durable. Moreover, to make the park safe, instead of fences, skateable flower beds and green spaces were used.
至于施工方法，滑板公园和两个水泵轨道都是手工制作的，因为极端物体的形式是复杂和独特的。因此，在浇筑混凝土时，使用了喷射混凝土；之后，建设者们擦拭混凝土。建筑师们做了真正的珠宝工作，调整了每个细节，达到了完美的效果。正是这样的细节，使骑行过程对运动员来说是令人兴奋和富有成效的。
As for the construction methods, the skate park and both pump tracks were made manually, since the forms of extreme objects are complex and unique. So, for pouring concrete, the shotcrete was used; after that builders rubbed the concrete. The builders made truly jewelry work and adjusted every detail, achieving the perfect result. It is such details that make the riding process exciting and fruitful for athletes.
因此，URAM极限公园已经成为一个受欢迎的公共空间，人们每天都会来这里：每个月大约有13000名客人参观公园，而4000名骑手定期在公园训练。同时，URAM完美地融入了城市的基础设施：它位于高尔基公园和克里姆林宫之间的人行道中间，所以这个公共空间吸引了更多的游客。
Thus, URAM Extreme Park has become a popular public space where people come every day: about 13 000 guests visit the park every month, while 4 000 riders train in the park regularly. At the same time, URAM fits perfectly into the city’s infrastructure: it is located in the middle of the pedestrian route between Gorky Park and the Kremlin, so the public space attracts even more visitors.
