The city The strategy of development in Kazan / Educational, 2014/ Kazan, Russia / in collaboration with Anna Andronova / Tutors: Akhtiamov I., Akhtiamova R. The first step of the project proposal is the reorganization of the 10000 acres of Kazan, city in the center part of Russia. It includes part of the center, industrial area and countryside. Most of industrial buildings here are abandoned and we made a map of treasures and valuable for renovation facilities, roads, green and water. It became a base for the desinging process which started from placing the biosocial and communication structure and continued with filling it by the whole spectrum of programs. The first step defined the configuration and program of another.

G. Photo documentary of the place H The treasures map of important facilities, communications, green and water I. The model M 1:5000 describing the urban strategy Blue lines represent biosocial structure, red lines show the production net.

Along the waterline there are lots of dissolving in water capes, thats how the city welcomes guests from the Volga river.

J. The cape with temporary housing and green farms

The urban channel Proposal of the urban channel/ Travolator /Educational, 2014/ Kazan, Russia / Tutors: Akhtiamov I., Akhtiamova R.

Channel of travolator is an interlacing of water channel, main roads of the transport network and branches of biosocial structure that goes down to the water and green and then up to the public level. Water communication is important and it spreads through the city

The architecture Proposal of the spatial organization / Educational, 2014 / Kazan, Russia /Tutors: Akhtiamov I., Akhtiamova R. This project is intended to explore new formal solutions that merge spaces of different functions. So the object is the section model of the urban node that unites its attractors such as theater, studios and the administrative center with one big space and small mobile cells underneath.

There are volumes of galleries, cafes, auditoriums, sport halls and open empty ones between the ground and masses of buildings. Every attractor has its own strand of communications that interlace with each other.

V. The section model made of wire and placticine (in progress)

W. The section views from different sides X. Horizontal sections of different levels of the model

Y. The concept cross-section

The Mediatheque Conceptual project / In progress / Kazan, Russia / Tutors: Akhtiamov I., Akhtiamova R. This project is the culmination of the entire line of city architecture spaces development and now it is in progress. Imagine yourself in the center of the Russian city where there is a huge 21th century Media center on the opposite side of the river from the Kremlin.

Information is the ruler here, it is made and consumed here and people are studied and entertained by information in both analogue and digital conditions. Architecture is shaped by mimicry into the nature principles and forms with the only addition of information that is an allsufficient participant of the dialog.

Z.The functional model and scheme, the concept drawing

C. View to the entering part with the mix-use public center coming to the building and facilities like the auditorium and reading halls

D. Model currently in progress

Competitions / Workshops

The town of eternal happiness Student competition “120 hours� / 2015 / Oslo, Norway The competition was intended to find a radical idea of architectural preservation.

My idea for the abandoned soviet town on the Norway archipelago is to make it eternal by temporary periods of living there when different countries settle for 30 years, make an utopian world and after that clean the place for the next habitant.

Catching the light XA Atelier workshop “Functionless” / 2014/ Athens, Greece The workshop aimed to learn Autodesk Maya software by developing a small project on the topic “Functionless”.

My project was talking about absence of function in a context of architectural details in cristian churches. So I made animal of three bodies each of those has two heads: one lets the light in and another catches it.

Angular waves The wooden art object festival 2013 / teamwork / Kazan, Russia The idea of the festival was to build an art object with provided materials. During two days our team was working on the composition of 4 sunbeds that could be understood as angular waves from the view next to it. This is the way how object replies to the given shore theme.
