was a unique fortress at that time together with a castle and a rectangular market square area. It played the role of the main and only square in the city. Here there were weekly auctions of food and the sale of various handicraft items, and also salt.

However, the architectural and town-planning heritage of the period of the XVII-XVIII centuries. almost isn't visible in modern historical buildings. The historical building is unceasing destroy by replacing authentic windows with metal-plastic ones, complete replacement of doorways and arrangement of new ones for shops, painting in inappropriate color, etc.

Since the regeneration of the square is a complex of measures, it was important to find a solution which would simultaneously cover the entire square and market quarters, but not affect it general perception and did not disturb the historical environment. The principle of showing "what was" should be reflected in all project decisions. Also necessary
the condition was in the pursuit of authenticity, not to make an urbanized, "living" wasteland for the sake of contemplating the preservation of historical buildings.

2) For the rational use of the resulting inter-house space as a result of the complete loss of buildings, it was decided to include pavilion buildings there of the type that can be quickly assembled and disassembled accordingly.
It is constructed from typical elements, which involves changing the configuration and
cheapness. So, it's prefabricated and dismountable metal structures of the modular type (3x3m).
