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 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be back in the US.

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. Mosque in Dubai 7. 24h competition 8. Ghosts in the machine

LANDSCAPE OBSERVATORY

Location: Los Angeles/ Professor Jon Yoderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sprawling city such as Los Angeles it can be hard to ďŹ nd publi spa es that o er tran uility. he intent of this observatory to 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 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 observerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, Kazakhstan 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 (100 м).

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 ďŹ nalizing 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, ďŹ nalizing 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.

*All the installations were made in collaboration with Acciona, Adunic and Simmetrico

The installation shows diﬀerent sorts of grains – the source of biomass representing the «warehouse» of the sun energy.

NEW AVERY HALL

Location: New York City/ Atema Architecture Type: Internship work in collaboration with: Ate Atema, Tom Holtman, Thomas Frost, Brekke & Strand Akustikk, Theatre Projects Consultants, Eckersley O’Callaghan

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 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. 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 conﬁgurations and easy acoustic adjustments.

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.

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.

Intimacy from Every Seat The rake of the orchestra stalls is ﬂattended to maximize sound propogation 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.

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 complteley envelop the stalls, literally wrapping the audience in sound.

ACOUSTIC ENHANCEMENTS 2. A hard cap above, a heavy surface surrounding, and balcony fronts provide for the reverberant chamber that is the basis for the acoustics of the hall.

3. Sound reﬂecting cloud to provide proper early reﬂections to musicians and audience.

1. Floating Balconies allow circulation of sound, providing true acoustical envelopment. Crucial for a sense of intimacy and engagement.

4. Behind-stage audience or choir prevent reﬂections from front wall to confuse sound image, which facilitates intimacy and music-in-the-round.

9. Side tier rake kept at a minimum allowed by sight lines. 8. Flat ﬂoor front of stalls to maximize sound propagation to distant seats.

5. Reﬂective orchestra surrounds

7. Ceiling, soﬃts and walls combine to provide early cue-ball reﬂections, for enhanced musical clarity and broader sound image in audience.

6. Sound insulation to protect from structure-borne subway noise.
