Changing For the Ages: Yerevan constructs a 21st Century face

By Julia Hakobyan
ArmeniaNow Deputy Editor
A glance across Yerevan’s panorama shows a city in the throes of construction, with cranes and dust and noise, and expectation mixed with apprehension. Barely a street in the center of the capital is unmarked by blue tarpaulin stretched over unfinished projects, or great craters chiseled into the ground for still more building work to begin.

Apartment buildings, hotels, offices and retail shops are constructed, renovated, enlarged or redesigned. The face of the city changes with each multi-storied tower – many rising to replace or obscure the skyline imagined by city architect Alexander Tamanian a century ago.
