Today hiking are becoming popular form of recreation. Abrau-Durso is a resort area and a small village located near the town of Novorossiysk, on the shore of Lake Abrau. The main objective of the project is: Development of complex design project with the developed infrastructure, including: • Organization of space designed for different terms visitors, a variety of recreation options, entertainment. • Design of corporate identity • Development lookouts • Creating areas for recreation • Create navigation carriers My task was the creation of four different routes: The name of the lake "Abrau" means "precipice." The river is fed by four sources Durso, and translates as 4 water. The logo is a stylized letter A is the first letter of the name of Abrau. Also reminiscent of an precipice, mountain. The four lines represent the four water, just as the four routes. The project concept is based on the harmony of objects with the natural environment. The beginning of a route - Visitor Centre. Getting started with a wooden arch with a map of all the routes and information. It is followed by decking with souvenir shops, kiosks, cloakroom. Here you can explore the map, have a snack, change the shoes, just sit relax. All shaping is based on the shape of the logo. The entrance area is a logo with shifts and truncation angle. According to the same system designed kiosks. They are an outline of the letters A, hills and mountains, which are so rich in this area, and have an interesting structure. Further shaping is based on the transformation of the logo form. Somewhere is an acute angle, rather than smooth, somewhere - a truncated corner somewhere - duplicated and transformed into a rhombus. Thus, we get a first look at the different forms, but are closely related to each other.
