Diuma and Tsintsadze streets are not associated with the touristic pedestrian route at that time, but they have the potential of being more interesting and culturally deep than the Avenue is offering the sight visitors. on the right.

Tbilisi, the trade center and crossing location for the trade routes

The old town was full of people trading with various products.

Street Trade and street food was associated with the culture of the Tbilisi.

Here are the street trade non-formal examples in 2016, around the Diuma and Tsintsadze streets

Here is the offer, to lock the Diuma and Tsintsadze streets for transport and make it one of the main Pedestrian routes for the old town.

Here are the connectivity of Diuma-Tsintsadze streets with other main roads (Pushkini, Kote Apkhazi and Silver streets).

The trade and street caffe streets should locate on the Diuma-Tsintsadze streets

The city can help non-formal traders transform in formal and arranged street market as to revitalize the streets that are not loaded with pedestrians as should be.

There can be three types: Market - bonded with transformable counters; street cafes located in the reconstructed 0.0 levels of the old buildings (which were non used and empty 2016) and cultural spaces, like galleries, workshops etc.

Here are the panorama photomontages of Diuma-Tsintsadze and Pushkin streets

Second task was to think about non-used, abandoned structure located between the Pushkin and Dium-Tsintsadze crossroads.

The structure is interesting for its shape but is difficult to adopt funtionally.

We thought of it as a city installation space and the center of galleries cluster

There can be located two more buildings connected with the existing structure by bridges and balconies, so specific for the city.
