ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO ISSUE 08.20 SELECTED WORKS FROM B.ARCH PROGRAM AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY +PROFESSIONAL +OTHERS
AIYM ZHUMASHEVA
Growing up in Kazakhstan, both my parents were architects. Upon graduating from high school I received the presidential scholarship (Bolashak) and was given the opportunity to study in the US for the next 6 years. After graduating from Syracuse I was required to return to Kazakhstan and work for 4 years to fulďŹ ll my scholarship contract. While coming back to Kazakhstan was not what I had wanted, it gave me the chance to work on 2017 World Expo and other amazing projects in the past 4 years. Now, after receiving approval for a green card I’m excited to be back in the US.

LANDSCAPE OBSERVATORY ON BALDWIN HILLS Location: Los Angeles/ Professor Jon Yoder’s studio Type: Academic work
This project serves as a landscape observatory where people have an opportunity to experience the panoramic view in a conscious way. The site looks over the Los Angeles Basin extending from Santa Monica Bay to the west, across the Hollywood Hills toward downtown LA and the San Gabriel Mountains to the east. In a r r r r r r such spaces.
The main concept is to juxtapose the idea of static and dynamic. The angled roof slab divides the view into two levels. On the top, the view eliminates the dynamics of the city, and protects the observer from the city bustle by giving an opportunity to enjoy the views of the sky and Saint Gabriel mountains. In the space under the roof the observer can sit down (be static) and look at the framed view of the city (dynamic).
The physical model was used for testing the sun/shadow studies
The roof slab is angled in such a way that it eliminates the views of the city. An observer can focus its attention on the sky and Saint Gabriel Mountains. Since the view is static and motionless, it provokes the observer to become dynamic and active.
The framed view serves as a screen that looks onto the city. The observer’s view focuses on the city dynamics. From a static position the observer passively engages with the active live of the city. City becomes dynamic and observer becomes static.

EXPO 2017 SPHERE/MUSEUM OF FUTURE ENERGY Location: Astana Type: Built work
Sembol, IT Engineering, ASGG, Simmetrico, Adunic,Acciona collaborated together in creating this interactive museum at the Astana EXPO in Kazakhstan. The aim of the museum was to bring together and introduce the ways of producing clean energy. There was a focus on energy availability, sustainability and development trends for renewable sources. More than just a museum, after the Expo, the Sphere is intended to become an innovational hub and important research and culture center. The building consists of eight stories with exhibitions demonstrating the basic types of energy: Space, sun, biomass, wind, water, and kinetics.
The museum is a central part of a micro district that is fully provided with its own infrastructure and includes recreation and park areas, residential buildings, a hotel, a congress center, a multifunctional shopping mall and some other infrastructure facilities. Our architecture team was responsible to adapt the drawings according to local rules and regulations. Final stage of the project included a lot of small changes, according to ďŹ re codes and also requests from government entities.

The main core of the building consists of service rooms, stairs and elevators. The rest of the floor area is used as an open space for the exhibition installations.
The space of the Sphere is divided into an exhibition area, and south and north atriums that go all the way up to the eighth floor (100м).
Solar sphere inside of which visitors can see 3D show giving an insight into the Sun and its energy potential.
Each floor represents a certain type of renewable energy, for example, wind, sun, water and so on.
The museum consists of eight levels with a diameter of 80 meters and height of 100 meters.

OUR ROLE After finalizing the last stages of the project, our team collaborated together with several European contractors such as Acciona, Adunic and Simmetrico who designed the exhibition installations for the museum.
Our responsibilities included making sure that the installing the exhibitions went as planned. Also, finalizing the drawings, making them more legible, preparing them for submittal. The photographs below are the examples of the exhibition installations that I had an opportunity to be a part of.
The space exploration installation shows panoramic views to the space as seen by the astronauts of ISS and provided by NASA. The images move slowly passing through the stars, nebulas galaxies.
The installation shows different sorts of grains – the source of biomass representing the «warehouse» of the sun energy.

NEW AVERY HALL
Location: New York/ Atema Architecture Type: Internship work in collaboration with Ate Atema, Tom Holtman, Thomas Frost, Brekke & Strand Akustikk, Theatre Projects Consultants, Eckersley O’Callaghan
An Active Building The building should capitalize on it’s location at the heart of the Lincoln Center community by welcoming the public into its hall and onto its roof, creating a vibrant and relevant space for diverse tastes to experience the making and performance of music.
This project investigates a range of opportunities for how a new Avery Fisher could more fully engage its current audience provide opportunities for new and diverse audiences to experience the Philharmonic and partner institutions.
An Intimate and Flexible Hall To attract new audiences and expand the reach of the Philharmonic and partner institutions, the new hall should accommodate multiple uses with various stage r
A Reputation for Innovation The quality of its sound and the diversity of its musical performances will help establish the new Avery Fisher as one of the truly great concert halls in the world, generating local and global interest and putting more people in the seats.
IMMERSIVE ACOUSTICS
The reconfigured Avery Fisher is designed to promote acoustic quality and reinforce an emotional engagement between the performers, the audience and the music.
Intimacy from Every Seat The rake of the orchestra stalls is flattended to maximize sound propagation to distant seats, and the tier stalls are wrapped 360° around the hall to create unique vantage points and an added intimacy between musician and audience.
The Hall as Instrument The proportions and geometry of the hall are adjusted to make it behave like a musical instrument. Deployable acoustic baffles and a floating reflective cloud are some of the ways the hall can be tuned to accommodate different types of orchestras and performance.

Enveloping Sound Perhaps most radically, we floated the upper balcony tiers away from the walls by 1.5 meters to allow the sound to reflect behind and completely envelop the stalls, literally wrapping the audience in sound.

ICONIC MOSQUE
Location: Dubai Type: Competition work in collaboration with Kanat Zhumashev
We have taken into a consideration the scale of the Creek Tower located on the direct central axis of the mosque site. Therefore, we are proposing a mosque that would have similar architectural-tectonic sense. The form that is easy to read and memorable to impress became our approach...
1. On perforation. The main prayer hall will r r r r and glow at night. 2. On section. Looking at the idea of Ablution as r r cleaning physically. The worshiper will transition into the main prayer hall on the upper level of the mosque only by going through a level of ablution. 3. On rooftop. Walkable, open to public.
Natural landscape of the place was an inspiration to look at beautiful interaction of sand and wind. Formation of sand dunes, in particular, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;parabolic sand duneâ&#x20AC;? phenomenon was something that was immediately incorporated into the concept.
Lantern element: Authenticity and beauty of antique hand pierced metal lanterns was an inspiration for the prayer hall space
Sand dunes: We were fascinated by natural formation process of sand dunes
Market typology: In order to add a regularity to spaces with a large number of people in the mosque, we incorporated this typology.

Delivering
Rapid Assembly Variable Infrastructure The goal is to provide an easily stored, transported and assembled kit of parts system. Using lightweight materials like ďŹ berglass and aluminum, weight is minimized while still providing robust protection from the elements. Each panel is stackable, as the vertical structure folds inward. Once unfolded, each of these panels forms a bay within the construction, allowing for as many bays to be combined as desired. This allows for buildings that can expand or shrink over time as use ďŹ&#x201A;uxuates. Each of these bays opens on both ends and can be used to create awnings or covered interior courtyards between buildings. Modular insulation panels can be added to the structure in cases where the climate is colder, providing a higher level of comfort than other temporary structures. Due to the size and lightweight materials used in each panel, all assembly can be completed without the use of heavy machinery.
