Hi, I am Anastazja! I have recently graduated from the Mackintosh School of Architecture (Glasgow School of Art) and I am currently working at Mark B. Thompson Associates as an Intern Architectural Designer.

What I find truly fascinating in architecture is the relationship between people and built environments at all scales: from an individual in a building to the body of citizens in a modern metropolis. I am particularly interested in the ways architecture influences people, their psychological and physical comfort, their mood and their quality of life. I also like to think about the ways that people influence the environment they live in from both a political and ecological perspective and imagine alternative spatial interactions which could be facilitated through architecture.

URBAN ESCAPE Cascading Observatories Competition entry (2017) Two Person Project

Location: Roccascalegna, Italy 7

Cabin at night, exterior

ROCCASCALEGNA The Cascading Observatories In meditating amongst one’s surroundings we mustn’t absolve them of their dynamism. Solitude and stillness are not one and the same. Asceticism does not necessarily lead to enlightenment. Often our most profound spiritual experiences are also our most sensual. The feel of the sun on our bodies as we are illuminated by its rays. The smell of wet stone awakening us with its crispness. The night sky, the seemingly unchanging heavenly stage is in fact in perpetual motion. The cascading observatories of Roccasalegna have been designed to envelop those who dwell within its confines with the forms of the heavens.

WATER: Water plays an important role within the development, as it becomes an ever-changing, everforming mirror towards the heavens. With water features placed throughout the slope of the mountain, the sky can be further witnessed in the reflections of the pools, in particular, the tri-partite waterfall system accompanying the villas. Furthermore, connected waterways are used to generate kinetic energy, downstream, as a means of powering the entirety of the complex. Serving both a beautiful, meditative quality, as well as a pragmatic one.

RING: The form of the ring is universally identified as being one of the absolute. The perpetual flow of energy and life into one continuous and undeterred cycle. In much the same way, the heavens serve as an ever-present reminder of our own place within this universal dynamic and reinforce our knowledge of our importance within it.

URBAN BOUNDARIES The Continuous City & Urban Commons Stage 5 Diploma in Architecture Project (2015-16) & Master Thesis (2016-17) Location: Berlin, Germany 17

18

BERLIN The Continuous City The Continuous City is a city of a new order, whose urban resources, such as water, electricity, space, transportation, knowledge and culture represent the commons. Its citizens constitute the body of commoners, who through collaborative consumption, production and governance partake in balancing exploitation of the city’s resources and their re-cycling, thus ensuring prosperity and continuity of their often endangered existence.

I intend to propose a commons-based prototype of a city scale intervention, that is designed in a direct response to Berlin’s current conditions. Its primary purpose is to balance the problematically high groundwater level, regulate electricity usage, and support the city in its transition towards green energies.

The secondary goal of the intervention is to provide citizens with a unique perception of the city, protect large open areas within Berlin from privatization, and to link them by means of new sustainable transportation.

Last but not least, the intention of the proposal is to redirect profits coming from this new arrangement back to Berliners. They can then harness them, to boost the creation of such resources as culture and knowledge. In other words, provide conditions and necessary services, for new initiatives and collaborations to take place and develop at the scale of the city.

Aquifer-Based Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage

“Der Neue Berliner Ring” is meant to address the problem of Berlin’s groundwater economy. A constantly rising level of the groundwater table across the city has become not only a serious threat to the existing buildings, but also a financial obstacle for new ones to arise. As a result, the city has become famous for its ‘purple pipes’, which are elevated above the street level and locally help to drain the soils.

In the case of Berlin, the lower reservoir will be located deep underneath the ground, in Berlin’s 4th aquifer at 200m depth. This will facilitate the off-load of excess water to Berlin’s soil and minimize energy loss, that the current draining strategy causes. The enlarged head of water opens an opportunity to generate and circulate a meaningful amount of energy at the scale of the city.

In order to address Berlin’s water issue in a broader manner, the city’s hydrogeographic conditions were studied and several key areas identified as repeatedly collecting water at the second aquifer level. This is where a set of specific pumps will be installed to extract the problematic excess of water.

In turn, the elevated water reservoir will become a giant, city-scale battery, where energy possessed from renewable sources can be stored and used at call, thus supporting the city in its transition towards green energies, while keeping the groundwater table at a desirable level.

Pumped-out water will then be collected from the determined neuralgic areas and stored in a reservoir, elevated at approximately 20m above the ground. It takes the form of an enclosed loop, a pipe, 42km long and 10m in diameter (Der Neue Berliner Ring).

Generally speaking, Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage is a system where energy is being stored in form of gravitational potential energy of water and where water circulates in a loop between two reservoirs, consuming and producing energy alternately.

A certain amount of energy is used to power the pumps during off-peak energy demand periods (night) or when green energies are available (solar or wind power).

Pumps, strategically distributed and located in the second aquifer, help balance the problematic high ground water level across the city.

EXTERNAL VIEWS

32

I

t has been a big design challenge to create a proposal that would meet the technological requirements of the scheme, and despite its gigantic dimensions and infrastructural character, have a light, attractive and inviting appearance. The proposal applies curves, niches and large horizontal openings that frame Berlin’s panoramic views for tens of kilometres. It was about creating a new realm of architecture, the additional city layer, a one of a kind experience that is accessible to all.

33

34

C

reating a new interregional symbol of the progress in sustainability development and spreading environmental awareness plays an important role in the proposal. Its form and grandeur are not only functional solutions, but also a means to attract people and provoke a discussion about the purpose of the intervention.

Exposing the waters of the tank and green monorails structure are only a few of the strategies for explaining its purpose and bringing a better understanding of the importance of environmental sustainability across wider society in general.

URBAN COMMONS

42

Could Architecture Contribute to the Creation of Sustainable Urban Commons?

I

n the market-dominated world we live in, it is the cities that display the largest degree of exclusion and Entfremdung (social alienation) of its inhabitants. Next to recently emerging global justice movements such as Occupy, a body of theory on alternative ways to distribute power and resources was formed. The concept of the commons, brought back into the discussion by Elinor Ostrom and others, seems to offer a more inclusive and just approach of managing resources.

My study aimed to investigate whether architecture can contribute to the creation of sustainable urban commons. My Stage 5 project Der Neue Berliner Ring served as a case study that, when held against Elinor Ostroms 8 principles for the design of commons, helped to identify key aspects of architectural interventions that facilitate urban commoning.

The project first takes a holistic view on the city to identify which urban resources are of the highest importance when it comes to constructing urban commons and, through an in-depth analysis of Berlin’s particular resource dynamics

and characteristics, develops appropriate architectural strategies for their sustainable management. For instance, the research conducted on Berlin’s hydrogeological conditions and electricity network resulted in the application of a system that acts as a city scale battery for storing renewable energies in form of gravitational potential of water. However, this technology applied to Berlin is not only important because it enables more efficient and sustainable management of water and energy across the city, but also because it opens the possibility of implementing these resources into the realm of urban commons which is an overall goal of the intervention.

Der Neue Berliner Ring creates a more just and even access for Berlin’s citizens to the open spaces, whilst itself creating a three-dimensional platform on which architectural commons can be constructed.

Enabling Berliners to benefit from the common water and energy and offering space for the development of co-operative projects, Der Neue Berliner Ring provides the base for cultural commons to be created.

THESIS

CONCLUSIONS

Der Neue Berliner Ring organized by Ostrom’s resources typology - gradient of the arrows indicates how well defined resources boundaries need to be

The question of whether architecture can facilitate urban commoning was investigated through the review of literature, the application to my Stage 5 project, and the search for examples from around the world. There were eight key aspects that could be identified as the principles for the architecture of urban commons :

1

. It should be created by the people who use it- citizens design the cities they dwell and shape the environment they live in.

2

. It should develop adequate strategies to reflect the local conditions and resource characteristics.

3

. It should take the sustainability approach, so that subtractive resources are not overexploited.

4

. It should frame and highlight the resource use and thereby remind the citizens of its common value.

5 Lefebvre’s three-dimensional “right to the city” and architecture as its facilitator

. It should be realised through bottom-up and horizontal processes, possibly through the use of open architecture platforms and other emerging tools for commoning.

6

. It should have the capacity to adapt to the ever-changing city conditions and never be considered a finished project.

7

. It should facilitate a fair access to the resources for all commoners, thus aim towards just geography of the city.

8

. Lastly, it should combine the provision of different types of commons, so that it can strengthen the citizens right to the city.

URBAN BUILDING The Athenaeum of Senses Stage 4 Project (2015) Location: Glasgow, UK

49

50

GLASGOW The Athenaeum of Senses In today’s world where ocularcentrism appears vital, it’s time to bring the sensory perception in all its glory back into the discussion.

Architecture essentially shapes the physical environment that so many of us live in, the cities, and constitutes an ideal media to achieve that very goal. Through an application of a range of materials characterized by various visual, tactile and olfactory qualities, sound considerations and appropriate use of light, form and perspective, architecture has a capacity to create the most intense sensory experiences. It can stimulate, deprive and trick senses, make illusions, evoke a range of emotions and direct the overall spatial perception of its users, as Juhani Pallasmaa states in his work “Eyes of the Skin”. With the help of architectural design, issues related to sensory perception have a chance at becoming more approachable and comprehensive to everyone.

The proposed scheme aspires to challenge its users, provoke and stimulate thinking about the surrounding world and cities in particular in a more holistic, multisensory way. As an athenaeum of senses, the project intends to gather individuals interested in this domain and proposes a range of spaces to facilitate that. Its goal is to provide the society of Glasgow with an opportunity to experience a unique journey through senses whilst moving vertically throughout the building, by extension, broadening the understanding of their workings, characteristics and significance.

51

THE JOURNEY THROUGH SENSES

The Athenaeum of Senses is designed to host a variety of permanent and temporary, sensory stimulating installations and maximize the overall sensory experience of the building users. It is composed out of five fully convertible, open-plan, double-height floors equipped with variously shaped mezzanines. Each of the main floors has a different function and is dedicated to one particular sense.

The aspiration of the project is to provide all building users with equally exciting and sensory stimulating experiences, regardless of their age and physical condition. Therefore, the key element of the design is the enclosed, sculptural staircase, inspired by Siza’s Fundação Iberê Camargo.

It meanders throughout the buildings sensory exploration space and is coupled with the main elevator that is designed as a vertically movable spacious living room. Both structures incorporate five types of wood that are characterized by different visual, tactile, olfactory, acoustic and load bearing qualities that are specified in order to simultaneously stimulate a number of senses while meeting constructional requirements.

The main elevator is inspired by Foster’s Sperone Westwater Gallery and enriched with several longitudinal openings facing towards specific

staircase elements

52

main floors

historic sites visible from therein and spreading all the way up to the rooftop from where it meets the staircase landing and where a panoramic view of the city can be explored. The elevator has access to each of the floors and mezzanines of the Athenaeum. On 20 m2, its height reflects that of the main floors, allowing for temporary installations to be hosted inside. Hence, the elevator should in fact be interpreted as a “sensory room” moving within the space, rather than a regular lift.

The main vertical circulation of the building in concert with the basement and the rooftop installations comprise the Synaesthetic experience - the complex and interweaving journey through senses. Both the staircase and elevator constitute mergers of all the senses, providing an exciting transition between the floors that revolve around specific senses.

The Athenaeum of Senses will be located in the eastern part of city centre, Glasgow Cross. That particularly vibrant and historically significant place, formerly recognized as the heart and epicentre of Glasgow is simultaneously a unique kind of crossing where five different streets meet at one point, resembling a synaesthetical collision of the five senses.

LIGHT ANALYSIS & FACADE TREATMENT Aiming to create an ever-changing facade appearance, reflecting the staircase shadow, several lighting analyses were conducted.

With the help of the heliodon, a physical model of the Athenaeum could be tested in realistic lighting throughout every day of the year. Similarly, using Ecotect, the building’s digital model was analysed for the most favourable lighting effects.

URBAN HOUSING The Division of Argyle Street Stage 4 Project (2014) Four Person Project

Location: Glasgow, UK

67

68

GLASGOW The Division of Argyle St This scheme investigates two vastly different architectural typologies found a few hundred meters apart on Glasgow’s Argyle street.

The western proposal attempts to fix failed Anderston Centre – a 1960s radical development in which all the housing and retail was raised up above ground level and access was facilitated via a raised deck. Today it is very much detached and offers nothing to the street except car parking. Our proposal seeks to remedy this by linking the centre back to the ground and to Argyle street.

This can be compared with the eastern proposal. Located on a large vacant site in Candleriggs, one of the oldest parts of Glasgow, the proposal draws from the local block typology of small lanes and courtyards that run through each block.

Both schemes are mixed use developments and incorporate retail on the ground floor with housing above.

70 Existing has been altered and connection to the Anderston Centre Shopping deck removed

he Anderston centre was designed by Richard Sekfert and opened in 1973. The Modernist design featured three residential towers, an office complex, a shopping complex and a bus station for Glasgow. In the late 1980’s the bus station was closed and footfall across the scheme fell. By the mid 90’s, the shopping area became abandoned. Today, the complex is early silent. Large portions of the original design have been demolished and access to the deck has consequently become indirect and convoluted. New construction around the Anderston centre and on the original site ignores the complex and does nothing to help regenerate the failed scheme.

Central Station

“The more niches for diversity of life and livelihoods..., the greater a city’s carrying capacity for life.”

- Jane Jacobs

CANDLERIGGS

The site at Candleriggs sits within the heart of Merchant City. Therefore, this space constitutes a very important and significant historic space within the centre of the city, which requires delicate treatment to repair the streetscape.

Moreover, the block represents a bridge between the more Anderston Centre desirable aspects of the Merchant City, and the grittiness of Argyle street. In contrast to the Anderston Centre, the Candleriggs site is made up of streets, lanes and courtyards, with spaces defined by the surrounding buildings.

ur intervention endeavours to reconnect the Anderston Centre deck back to ground level and to Argyle Street, thus giving more prominence to the pedestrian. Two storey retail units are slotted beneath the remnants of the Anderston Bus Station and new public spaces are defined by a play on the original Anderston colonnade.

Design strategy

ithin our proposal, we aim to repair the street frontage, vacated by the demolition of the existing block. Lanes are then carefully recreated from historic maps, moving into courtyard spaces, where the design becomes fragmented, as the gridded block is pushed and pulled out of the original structure. These shapes form our residential spaces and small studio lots, which are placed on the ground floor. Retail nits are added to Argyle Street as a continuation, while cafĂŠs and bars are located within Candleriggs Street.

URBAN FUNCTION The Museum of Modern Art Engineering Diploma Project (2013) Location: Cracow, Poland

85

86

CRACOW The Museum of Modern Art The underlying role of any art gallery or museum is to protect its artworks from detrimental processes, destruction, theft and overexposure. Being a public institution, a museum also carries scientific, social, educational, and cultural roles. Therefore, its function is also to attract the wider society, boost interest in the artistic industry, promote creativity, and raise awareness of whatever matters art aspires to express.

Wawel is one of the most important landmarks within Cracow, as well as Poland. It is a place of great cultural heritage and historical significance with many characteristics that had to be carefully considered when creating the project brief. When generating a vision for an intervention set in such a remarkable location, it was essential to respect and celebrate the site.

The project constitutes an attempt to create an exciting space, where the “new” does not come into conflict with the “old”. Contrarily, it is about creating architecture that, while inherently modern, manifests new ways of thought, whilst respecting the history and considering its undeniable value.

In my opinion, designing a museum is not only about creating space and an environment where works of art can be found, but also a place where discussion and polemics can take place and new ideas can be born out of the contemplation of the old ones.

DESIGN STRATEGY

The concept of this project is based on dividing a building into two spaces, opposing in character, function, and overall expression, whose interplay represents the junction of the past and the future.

The first part constitutes a compact block hosting a set of regular, small story height rooms that fulfil the function of administration and services. This part is represented from the outside by an oriel covered with corten steel cladding that, like brick, changes its looks over time when exposed to the elements and eventually matches its colour and character. This part also contains an assortment of harmoniously arranged square shaped little windows. The second part consists of an open composition of planes, designated as an exhibition space, which further

90

Past

Museum of Modern Art

Future

corresponds with the exterior by comprehensive glazing of the north facade and a system of roof light breakers.

At the point of contact of the aforementioned spaces, an expansive wall of fireproof glass cuts the entire building crossways, together with a spacious atrium that enables visitors to observe and experience their interplay.

Situated on the borderline of the spaces, a set of room-boxes is proposed and arranged irregularly towards both sides of the glass sheet to create a smooth transition between the zones. These monolithic cuboids are also meant to build a certain tension, partially when hanging over the visitors’ heads.

tack ventilation: The proposal utilizes a double skin facade to let the colder, fresh air get in at the base of the building. It further gains warmth and rises through the spacious atrium that is located in the central part of the proposal.

Upon reaching its upper section, the air gets released through a set of specially designed roof lights.

NAT U RA L LIGHTING

H

ow to protect the exhibits from excessive exposure to light that can cause their damage, while simultaneously create well lit and bright spaces? In order to achieve that goal, special consideration in regards to lighting were taken and an appropriate type of roof lights were designed. These South facing elements are able to catch light over the course of entire year, particularly during the summertime, when light is the strongest. It is reflected so that it can penetrate interiors whilst not reaching the art pieces directly.

98

Taking into consideration the climatic characteristics of Cracow, the roof structure is equipped with a heating installation and water drainage, so that the heavy snow that can accumulate within the structure during winter time can be dissolved and drained, thus protecting the construction from dangerous loads.

Moreover, the north facing elevation, that does not receive excessive amounts of light, has been fully glazed by means of a double skin facade, further ensuring decent brightness, ventilation and environmental comfort during the entire year and throughout the building.

n order to provide building users with the highest quality experience, advice was sought from a lighting specialist so as to prepare an artificial lighting strategy. As a result, a wide variety of lamps has been chosen for specific locations and functions throughout the building. For example, in the aim to provide the exhibition spaces with maximum flexibility, a readjustable system of rails with spot lights and longitudinal lamps units as well as painting hangers are proposed.

1. System of rails designed to attach spotlights, longitudinal lamps and paintings hangers that gives the possibility to adjust them, depending on the needs of a current exhibition.

2. Concrete rooms-boxes put forward the large pane of glass

2.

3. System of directional lighting, mounted to the edge of the opposite floors orientated at the concrete rooms-boxes to highlight them and emphasize against the glass background.

3.

4.

4. Bi-directional lighting system over the working area is suspended from the ceiling. It provides soft light for the entire room and additionally some direct light at the points of its greatest demand.

6.

5. A fire-resistant glass pane that plays multiple roles. During the day, it allows a free flow of daylight throughout the whole building, while during the night, the light emphasizes the massive and strong character of concrete blocks.

7.

6. The longitudinal lamps suspended from the ceiling, give the impression of continuous light line, which accentuate the circulation in the building.

5.

7. The longitudinal lighting systems installed at the landings provides appropriate lighting and comfort.

Designing architecture is first and foremost about creating spaces which are human regardless of their scale and function.

From a hut in the woods to urban infrastructure, architecture should be made by people and for people; speak their tongue, correspond with their proportions and answer their needs.

Architectural Details This collection of drawings constitutes a study into various aspects of both built and natural environments that influence architectural design. These careful observations and analyses helped me to develop skills necessary to graphically construct given objects in regards to their geometries, proportions, perspective, lighting and materiality. Works presented here further show my understanding and sensitivity in regards to details.
