Building area is located in Moscow, 8 Marta street.

It is a territory of an existing school which does not fulfill required capacity.

The residential area is outside the city center, it is very green and it is full of arhitectural monuments of architecture of art nouveau.

The idea was to create a building that will use the whole site and also create an inner yard for children to play.

The building itself is wooden and should not burden the environment and the atmosphere.

A school where children can feel themselves like in a countryside. Classes should have a lot of light and there should be a lot of space in school where children can play and use their imagination to transform the spaces.

The morphogenesis of the building was done in a principe of filling the area and creating an inner courtyard for safety when children playing outdoors. The form was cut to create s passage and it was lifted in some places to make a view into the courtyard.

In some way the classes are located in a circular bulding from left to right in order of rising class number.

The highest part of the building is holding the higher classes and their laboratories while the lowest and closest to the yard have the space for the first class students.

Construction is done by light wooden shell with a pitched roof, where the classrooms are hanged up, creating a lot of free space between them.

The decisive moment in choosing a theme for a museum project was a mistake found at YandexMaps while searching a free area in the center of Moscow.

This phantom building on the Hitrovskaya square has dissappeared in the plan, but in the street view it can still be seen.

Museum in a meaning of a monument for a place.

A monument for another lost building in our city which can also work as a storage for information about all ruined historic houses. Main collection could consist of information gathered by ArchNadzor, MoskvaKotoroiNet, MAPS (and other organizations that save our historical buildings and collect data about the lost ones).

A timeless place, that can regenerate the surroundings and become a new city landmark. An activity point and a collection of memories about the city that does not exist anymore.

Collective memory is an image of the city. Now City is rejecting the Citizens and Citizens reject the City. The town is hidden under layers of symbolic people activity (ex. street chaotic advertisement).

Pedestrians don’t feel the space. They try not to raise their sight up from the road they’re walking.

They are lost on faceless streets, and anyway pedestrians find themselves in the center. City does not offer you any rhytm, it only have pulsar activity flowing in the center. And the City itself - sensitive, interactive , alive - remains only in memory. Instead of the feeling of the City people get only sight on the cars and advertisement rubbish.

Nowadays museum is a very strong formation. It can regenerate culturally extinguished parts of the city, divide pedestrian flows (rhizomatic scheme instead of overcrowded center). Museums can create activity points that become meeting places.

We can hardly resist demolition of historic buildings and the best thing we can do - create an organized curtural center that will store the information and show exhibitions about history of the city architecture and remind us past of the place. _/14

Library/Lecture Hall Dominant (tower of memory) This part of the building is seen from every side-street. Tower as a monument of a Place. It sustains the scale of a previous building, creates a pedestrian landmark.

At the top of the tower there is a viewpoint terrace.

The bulk crossing the building has a pass-through planning with big windows at both sides, allowing pedestrians from Hitrovka and Petropavlovskaya street look inside and get interested to walk in.

New Moscow area development Bachelor project MArchI, 4 year _/19 2012

Development territory is located in 40 km from the center, the so-called Big Moscow area.

The bachelor project consists of two parts - urban development - new residential area project and typical housing for the district.

The project had a real client, and his main points were declared as: - redevelopment of the area, creating comfortable environment for people of all ages; - new city has to be tolerant to the existing environment; maximise the usage of the land; - create a fully equiped infrastructure.

Main issue in this project was how to create a typically new environment - a critical edge between city and the village. How can one live with all the infrastructure needed 40 km away from the city center? What is the feeling one should get not to be disappointed with inadequate ÂŤcityÂť? How to get rid of the disadvantages of living in a coutryside or city and make a hybrid settlement that would be comfortable?

Main criterias that I made out during the analisys period are: - sensitivity in relation between heights of the City anfd the Village - simple transport system (two main roads connecting the primary entrances in the area + the railway station - public transport system + bycicle routes - try to use remodelled typical elements, make them livable, rethink the standart techniques - create a nature friendly environment, semi-village semi-city feeling

The area has a sophisticated form that’s why sophisticared form that’s why main idea was to connect transoort entrances by straight roads and create a city activity center in their node - equidistant ti the boundaries.

The roads are followed by green boulevard chords, which will give a space for meeting points and markets.

Building heights increase approaching the center.

Local activity and production is to be used.

Bachelor project MArchI, 4 year _/25 2012

One of the first row blocks of the urban design project of a new residential area in a Big Moscow territory (closed square form) was chosen for the design.

Main issue was to create a universal housing model, giving space for all family types. The house should be made of redesigned typical elements allowing to use them in a different order for a different situation.

The elements stacked together create variable building height according to the context.

This allows creating an interesting environment with complex perspective although using typical elements.t

The typical housing block (100m by 100m) consists of four types of apartments (three, two, onebedroom studio and two level aprtmentc) and 2 types of stair sections.

The house has an underground parking on the -1 and -2 floors. The first floor is empty and has only entrances for lifts and stairs. Empty space can be used as needed (ex. bycicle parkings).

Big inner courtyards create space to rest and its greenery lets the City breathe.

The houses can be different colours to evoke a new and yet sterile environment. Outer walls are made by concrete panels. While in prodution, the coilour is added, and the panels varify in tone from each other to create an effect of squama.

Moscow district redevelopment MArchI, 5 year 2013

_/31

Development territory is Lefortovo - a historical district in Moscow 10 minutes away from the center.

Territory is full of architectural monuments and beautiful streets. Main problem in the area is existence of huge area of former industrial factories. KamerKollezhskiy ring out of the Sadovoye road ring in 19 century was the periphery of Moscow where these fatories were working. After extremely fast growth of Moscow agglomeration, the ÂŤindustrial ringÂť became derelict useless territories which although are still polluting the city air.

Our project idea was to use the derelict territories to create new clusters there and also recreate and save all the monuments and historical buildings on the site.

First, the analysis of the site was made. Several analysis maps were made: -history of the area -functional zoning - terms of demolition for all the buildings - cultural heritage of the site - transport situation - existing green areas - main perspective activity aggregators This way we get the whole image of the area and this works for revitalisation processes.

Sortavala city redevelopment Diploma project MArchI, 6 year _/37 2014

Centralized systems

Linear system

The project was based on idea of Decentralization of territories and research on Linear urban strategies. This system is the most appropriate decision for Russian situation where all the big cities are extremely centralized. Cities pull all the activity on themselves including all infrastructure. This causes huge problems in cities around and almost makes living there a survival. Other fact that centralized activity makes the periphery practically deserted. Though it should be right conversely.

Regions/countries/city districts focus all the insfrastructure in their center, althouh that are the Borders which should bear the function. On the borders informational activity reaches its maximum level - two different regions/countries/etc recieve all possible characteristics from both sides which rises the level of activity and give a space for a new formation (example could be any small European country which has regional particular qualities which meet at the border and through the mixing we can see new cultural formation). So this way borders are no more dividing - they become perspective development directions, where unlimited motion and exchange is provided.

Centralized systems are blocking themselves allowing only circular development.

This idea was developed into a project of Local Systems of Settlements along the border of Russia and Finland. Previously in our class several diploma projects were made creating the Linear Settlement along the border of Russia and Europe from Black Sea up to Gulf of Finland. My diploma finishes this whole project opening the Line into the Barents Sea. This programm is called ÂŤ33 MeridianÂť and goes along it all the way.

This idea involves creating the systems of connecting the cities located on the program territory, analyzing the transport infrastructure, natural complexes including creation of continuous system of reserves; cultural heritage complex - which allows tourists easily transferring from one place to another. The cities included in program are given a strong development impulse and when the exchange system starts working every element of it increases the gain.

On the territory on the Russian-Finland border a big reservation territory is settled allowing the continous motion between reservation parks and this limits possible activity on the site to preservation and new forest growth. There is a big difference between relations to land in our country and in Finland, so this way we will have a chance to save the Karelian forests and bring them to sustainable level.

Karelia itself was one land with one nation (Karels) which were divided into two countries and recieved different evolution process. Karels can still be found in Russia. So this was one of the main points - to make this land integral as it is possible.

Through the history of Karelia the territory was divided several times, passing from Finland to Russia. This left a lot of finnish architecture in the cities and their urban structure is most of the times finnish too. This all comes with incredible Karelian nature with lakes with granite shores, and forests with 600 years old fir trees.

Sortavala has a lot of historical buindings of 20 century - finnish romantism and art-nouveau.

Sortavala hasn’t got p r o p e r cultural and educational centers.

In whole Karelia there’s only one University in Petrozavodsk.

While in Joensuu which is almost alike in its planning there is one of the most perspective universities of Finland.

Sortavala has vast green area around the city and also the shore greenery is very essential.

S o r t a v a l a redevelopment plan Transport problem was solved by moving the highway away from the center along the railroad.

Also several district roads were added and local roads created in new districts.

Several new zones were added on the deserted lake shore - University cluster(tuquoise); Sport cluster(sea green); Museum clusters(grey blue).

All the city factories move to industrial cluster(grey).

Orange colours are for living area.

On the periphery the agricultural area is located.

Greece, Vido island Installation Bachelor project GORODA Festival 2012 MArchI, 4 year natural materials,_/47 2012 synthepone

The installation was created during the Goroda architectural festival. Festival task was to create an object according to any philosophical thesis. In our project we tried to express the Jilles Geleuze’s «Rhizome» theory and develop a spatial composition.

The construction was made of natural materials found nearby. This expresses the idea of particles flowing into the center and creating the Object. Every piece of nature find its own place in a new organized formation.

Rhizome is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972–1980) project. It is what Deleuze calls an «image of thought», based on the botanical rhizome, that apprehends multiplicities.

The Rhizone does not begin and doesn’t come to an end, iit is always in the middle, between prophetic,between-life, an intermezzo. The tree is a continuity, and a rhizome - the Conjunction, only the Conjunction. The tree imposes a verb to «be», and a rhizome is weaved from the сonjunction ы«both..and..and». In this conjunction there is enough force to crack and uproot a verb to «be». Where do you go? When do you leave? Where do you want to come. These are useless enough questions. To come back to tabula rasa and again to begin with zero, to search for the beginning or the base - all it includes the false concept of travel and movement. The matter is the middle at all average, on the contrary, is a place where things speed up.

«Between the things» means not a localized relation which goes from one to another and back, but a movement in perpendicular direction, cross movement which transfers one and others, a stream without beginning and the end, which washes away the coast and is dispersed in the middle. _/48

Installation ArchFarm Festival 2012 _/57 ice blocks, lighting

The installation was made during Goroda (Cities) architectural festival. It took place at ArchFarm - a renovated farm 200 km away from Moscow.

Main task was that the participants should rethink in their objects the festival theme which was «Fire».

We analyzed the meaning of this term and came to Heraclitus ideas. Fire as eternal motion. As a seen form of burning process - it is the most suitable definition of the Element itself in a meaning of a substance that is a everlasting process, «blazing» dynamics of matter. So the fire is constant although it can damp. He also understood outer space as a process of constant burning.

So in our object we tried to freeze the moment and stop the constant motion and have it for as long as we want. The edge of the sun, or maybe an unknown star constantly rising on the horizon or constantly setting. Or this is an enormous scale disk which has crashed into a frozen lake and now is glowing illuminating all around.

Object was made with the ice blocks which were pulled out from the lake near the installation area.

Due to the fact that the winter was very strong, the ice was thick enough to make a firm wall and also very clear for the lighting. The blocks were stacked one on the other and after fitting with chainsaw they were poured with water and this made them sealed together firmly.

The lit object was seen from any part of the ArchFarm territory as the exhibition day was very misty and the light column was very high. The «Sun» stood on its place until the springtime.

Archfarm Installation Bachelor project GORODA Festival 2012 MArchI, 4 year wood trunks, wood _/65for 2012 the float

The installation was created during the Goroda architectural festival in the ArchFarm. The festival theme was «In the place».

The little chapel is a chapel for nature. Chapel of a place. A little fragile constrution in a shape of a house with a pitch roof. There’s no inner space, one can just pass through the «concentration» but at the same time be in the environment and see all around.

The object was made with wooden materials. First, the float was build as the object could be installed either in the field or it could be put on the lake.

After the volume was made with small aspen trees cleared from the branches and painted white.

Installed object had to be lighted and be a point in a route through the ArchFarm lands.

With this simple dot-object qwe tried to solve several problems of our city : -supersaturation of center -excess of car number -a complex and difficult for understanding post-capitalistic environment with excess of street advertisement -ansence of effective system of public transport -very poor involvement of citizens in life and development of the city

To realise the program, we chose a simple form that will work - a volumetric screen with different zones. A person Object was made with the which were pulled out from the lake near the installation area. interacting with the screen canice getblocks any information needed:

Decentralisation

Moscow activity is very centralized, all the main functions flow to the center and this causes lots pf problems. The city needs to distribute its life into several functional centers.

Innovation

Following the «national idea» of modernisation and innovation, we suggest 8 popular functional city strategies for every administrative district (except central), which would distribute Moscow functions evenly on its territory. As a result secondary centers are formed due to their function (art-center, financial center, education cluster, R&D, etc).

Participation Reactivation

Stimulation of participation - is the main problem in cause of city self-realisation. Function of traditional society of 19 century in the century 21 is always working in the internet area, flowing into the concept of city public space 2.0 - a new instrument of people working reactivation.

Integration

The city center2.0 forms as an interaction of multiplicity of ideas - instead of concentration of sovereign government. From now on the center is not only forming the «national idea», but that’s the ideas interlacing makes it real. City center now is an open public space for unlimited interaction.
