Hello, my name is Anna
While growing up in Moscow, Russia I have observed the interactisons between life and architecture. One of the lessons I learned is the power architecture has over people in a rapidly growing metropolis. When I first came to Toronto, I have observed the same principles working in a different culture. This transition to the new city allowed me to understand how crucial architecture is to understanding another culture. As an architectural science student, I am very passionate about learning and exploring how art of building making can influence the society we live in and the essential collaboration and teamwork can create purposeful architecture.

FUZE DISTILLERY
This project is located across from the Distillery District in Toronto. The building encases whiskey and vodka distillery, restaurant, bar, tasting and retail space, as well as, offices and classrooms. This project was the final 3rd year project and was designed in pairs. My partner and I decided to create the firewall separating the building into two in order to separate the programs and accommodate Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements. The east building encases the distillery, offices and classrooms, while the west is locating the bar, restaurant, retail and tasting area on the west overlooking the park. The biggest challenge was the Ontario Heritage Act, which required to maintain every side, but the west facade. Thus, it was decided place the restaurant and the bar to the west and create an iconic and landmark like look, which is visible from the series of parks on the west. We have decided to create two overlapping crystals: black for the night bar, light for the daytime restaurant. Made in Collaboration with Nicola Caccavella Revit (BIM), Autocad, Rhino

One of the Key elements in this project was the tasting area on a ground floor. The tasting was located in the centre of the building and was the first space visible coming from an entrance on the south. It was also enclosed within an atrium and was a centerpoint of circulation. The materiality of spaces varied depending on the program. The distillery, offices and classrooms in the west building were made of rustic materials: brick, concrete and wood, while the light crystal was made of channels glass and steel, and black crystal was covered with black toughened glass. In addition, the structural systems for two buildings is different. The east used steel columns and beams, whereas, crystals use the rigid frame structural system to allow for more stability, flexibility and spaciousness.

Throughout the semester of working on FUZE Distillery I have created over 10 physical models of different scales. Pictures on the left is one of the structural models created at 1:250 scale.
The picture on the left features 1:200 sectional model made of mdf and acrylic. Also the photo features three massing models: two of which were made of cardboard and acrylic, and the last one was a wood massing. The picture features models selected for Ryerson Architectural Science Department Year End Show 2018. The show showcases selected works of students from Architectural Science Department, all works were chosen by faculty.
NORDIC FUNERAL
Nordic Funeral is an ancient burial ritual of Vikings when warrior’s deceased body is burned while soul is transferred to Valhalla. In this ritual one’s body is placed on a boat or a ship and later burned on a ground or water. This method was often used by Vikings and allowed their soul to be forever commemorated. This ritual uses the architecture of the ship, the most precious item in Viking’s possession, as a grave which dies with its owner. In this case, architecture becomes the support for the body and is a crucial part of the celebration of death. In this project I have used jointless wood construction to create architecture which when burnt leaves no trace. The wood used is pine, which was also used in Viking’s ships and shields. I used Structural wood frames and thin wood sheets to create a burnable catafalque which resembles Viking ship and honors the dead.

L’Anse aux Meadows was the first Viking settlement in North America and is a significant historical site surrounded by stone shore and meadow. It is a perfect place for a Nordic Funeral due to its stony shore, flat landscape, relation to the Labrador Sea and Vikings’ history. Site Plan Scale 1:1000

PROFESSIONAL WORK: HERZOG
This project was created for “Herzog Germany”, a Germany based automotive mechanics supplier company. When working at “100krat” Ltd I was the lead designer for this project and was responsible for executing visuals, shop drawings and communicating with the client, project manager and the build team throughout the development of the design. The program consisted of series of display areas, reception and a private meeting room. This project was built and exhibited on MIMS 2017 in Moscow, Russia.

more flexible with both compact and spread out possibilities. The design draws inspiration from the triangles found on the feature wall just south of the gallery as well as the bright red already used within the space.
In order to respect how this part of the building is used this design is aimed to blend in when not in use, to prevent impeding the operations of the gallery. When the seats are locked into the wall, it looks like a uniform wall and doesn’t interfere with circulation. Their placement on the wall corresponds to the vivid coulors of the reveled wall at the back. The way they are secured is shown in the diagram the right. Additionally different amounts of seats can be removed allowing for various configurations, as seen in the diagrams to the left.
DAS LOUNGE COMPETITION: TRIAD
This competition was hosted by Architecture Student Union in October 2017 and created to raise awareness about the lack of lounge spaces in Ryerson Architectural Science Building. I assembled the team was in charge of organizing meetings, deadlines and communicating our results with the ACU. As well, created the final layout for the project, designed and developed “blue� part of this project. The project is currently in the prototyping stage and is planned to be built by January 2019.

3D PRINTING: DECIPHERING FORM
This project was part of the ASC734: Advanced Digital Design class taught by Jason Ramelson. The project required student to explore a new digital tool and create a form which was later 3D printed. I have used Grasshopper for Rhino 6, as well as Weaverbird and LunchBox to create a 3D object and later Cura for Ultimaker to 3D print it at 75 by 75 mm size object.

DIGITAL DRAWING: PRIDE
This poster was created for Las Vegas studio taught by Vincent Hui. After visiting Las Vegas as part of the curriculum each student chose one of seven deadly sins and explored how sin is shown in Las Vegas now and will evolve through architecture in 50 years. My sin was Pride. I saw the sin being reflected in wealth differences, as well as, obsession with ones looks. Therefore, in my work I predicted the city will grow taller, while the class difference will become more apparent with poor being at the bottom while rich will rise up. At the same time, the concept of vanity is reflected in popularizing and normalizing cosmetic surgery, which will eventually become the conveyor belt system.

SKETCHING
Sketching and Drawing are my hobbies which often prove themselves useful in my school work. I often use watercolor or graphite sketches for my studio projects and exercises. Sketches shown in this portfolio are made for research and analysis of IRCAM by Renzo Piano and Les Halles in Paris.
