selected works: 1. Landscape Observatory on Baldwin Hills 2. Expo 2017 3. New Avery Fisher Hall 4. Concert Hall H1505 5. Karaganda Public Library and Museum 6. Iconic mosque in Dubai 7. 24h competition 8. Ghosts in the machine 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 s ra ling it su as s ngeles it an be ard t ďŹ nd ubli s a es t at er tran uilit . e intent t is bser at r t make 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 site model was made is in collaboration with Chad Brock. It shows part of the Baldwin hill, and circles the the main regions of LA and includes the topography of the mountains that the project overlooks.
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. e rest t e fl r 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 u t t e eig t fl r .

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 nfigurati ns and eas a usti ad ustments.
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.

ICONIC MOSQUE IN DUBAI 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 filter t e sunlig t int t e interi r during t e da , and glow at night. 2. On section. Looking at the idea of Ablution as a ritual urifi ati n, e di ided t e a t 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 “parabolic sand dune” 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 stucture 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 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.
