Sharma climbing gym Professional work Localisation: Spain Type: Execution project Recontstruction
The main objective of this project was to create a new climbing gym, situated not so far from the centre, in the housing area, that at the same time could hold competitionsboth boulder and sport (rope) ones- so it would be high and spacious enough to meet this requirement. The chosen plot is an old deposit factory floor created in 60’. In order to adapt the building to the new function there had to be changes made- the part of the roof was raised up to 20 meters, the „office” building had to widen up and constructed anew, and because of change of floor heights the facade had to be completely rearranged . However the existing elements that were in a good condition were saved and used againstructural elements, the vaulted building etc. as the efforts were made to conserve the existing industrial ambient. of the space.

Interior design project
The interior design concept was to preserve the industrial character of the building - with industrial materials and furniture. The floors are made from concrete with polished finishing layer, the tables are made from plywood, the decoration elements are made from blackpainted metal and the false ceilings from metal grid panels. In each floor of the building, there are located wayfinding icons, and signals. Their strong yellow colour is one of the means that unite new function with already existing elements.

Knowledge and technology sharing centre Academic year: Vth Localisation: San Sebastian, Spain Type: Master diploma project
The subject of the thesis was the architectural and structural project of Knowledge and technology sharing center in San Sebastian. The main idea was to create an architectural object, which would answer to the new needs of society, regarding modern technological, economic and sociological trends, but also taking into consideration local urban circumstances and cultural context- factors that have greatly influenced the process of searching for a form of the building. The intention of the centre was to establish a creative and inspiring workstudy- production- place, where the functions join and mix together. The educational and research function is joined with recreational one, allowing to practice users’ hobbies, moreover, it is also joined with professional facilities, permitting free-lancing jobs and creating small businesses. Another important objective was to create a community formed of its users, for whom the building would be also a cultural centre of integration in San Sebastian.

The building was divided into two parts: the first one is smallerwhere the laboratories are located (with laboratory testing terraces) and the second one is bigger, more exposed and consists of coworking spaces -cantilever boxes- and fab-lab hall -with working terrace spaces. Although the different function, the outside of both functions is uniform, depending mostly on natural (northern elevation) or urban context (southern elevation).

During the analysis making process, a pedestrian passage was noticed, it connects the Urumea river with the housing neighebourhoods and it cuts the plot into two halves. The path was important for local communities therefore, the decision was made to save it and adapt it to the building- the path was elevated up to the first level where the main entrance and the bar were located. Then it goes down again to the river path level.

THEATER Academic year: IVth Localisation: Wroclaw, Poland Type: University project
The idea was to design a centre of art, which main part would constitute of the local theatre. The building is located close to the city centre, in a dense urban fabric, whereain the same quarter there are other public buildings located. In order to connect them al,l there has been designed a glass-covered pedestrian passage, consisting of services and greenery, which link all the public functions. The passage has its beginning in the theatre buildingfor which it also serves as a foyer and a connector between nearby park-square. This green space is one of the main elements of the building and along with the staircase- situated in the centrecreates vertical circulation paths.

Local theater
To understand better the context of the place in which the building was designed, there has been many analysis done, regarding communication system, history, greenery, function and localisation. Taking into consideration the historical meaning of the north-est corner of the quarter it was established that it should be more stressed and significance. On the south where there is a small neglected park, and the main pedestrian track goes in between the trees- need to prevail it and make it more representative- the track links main station with musical theatre and municipal office. Location of the building in a well-connected area gives it the opportunity to be a cultural centre also for further neighbourhoods.
The main entrance is located from Pilsudski street, which has the most traffic both pedestrian and motor one, and also it is significant historically. In the middle of the building there is a spacious, open staircase which leads to the most important functions of the object: theatre, exposition area, dancing rooms and restaurant on the last floor. The elevation is made from metal perforated white panels and to enlighten well the main functions and to stress the significance of the north-est corner the two-floor high glazing was designed. The green foyer is made from metal structure including balconies and staircase, and elevation is fully glazed.

CULTURAL CENTRe Academic year: IVth Localisation: Wroclaw, Poland Type: Bachelor diploma project
The subject of this thesis is the project of cultural centre for single-family residences at Zlotnicka Street in Wroclaw. The main idea was to create an interesting place for inhabitants of housing estate Zlotniki, located in the outskirts of the town. The cultural centre should encourage people to be active in local community activities and events at the same time acknowledging socially excluded groups for example disabled. In the building, there are three functional zones. The first zone is designed for the people who visit the cultural centre not on a regular basis, during cultural events in the multi-functional auditorium, or coffee house. The second zone is planned for regular users, who go regularly to the classes, it is located upstairs and contains many small classrooms. The third zone is located underground and has technical rooms and parking for staff members.

Moreover, the building envelope is adjusted to energy-saving requirements and connected with eco-friendly technologies.. Regarding surroundings-low density development and the functions of nearby buildings, it could be noticed that this area attracts the most traffic the location has the potential for creating an object which plays the good role in the social life of the small community. The suburbs are mostly considered as sleeping places, not the one which actually can offer an interesting way of spending time, my idea was to change it. Wielkopolska street

The chosen plot of land has great potential of attracting residents since it is placed next to major crossing of communication routes. Legal restrictions concerned: limited construction site size and very strict demands of an area development plan which determines the building lines, the height of the building, roof slope angle and type of roofing. Taking into consideration all the restrictions, a decision was made to design the building fitting into the existing architectural context. The elevation joins two very opposite elements- new technologies and historical contextual elements.

2. Fabrication - designing the moulds
2. Fabrication - creating the moulds
3. Pouring cement - final form
The main task of the subject was to create a concrete selffabricated and self-designed plate for a chosen meal. We opted for basque chef’s interpretation of „Pulpo a la Gallega�. The plate abstractly refers to the octopus and its 8 legs- by creating 8 small vessels joined together.
The plate needed to be fabricated by pouring cement into the moulds. So the first task in the fabrication process was to design the moulds digitally and modify them to fit them into the needed size - capable for the machine to fabricate. At the same time, we had to keep in mind during the adjusting process to maintain the properties of the plate with its elegance and simplicity.
Once the moulds were designed they needed to be milled in the 3D-milling machine and later optimized the surfaces with sanding paper. For further protection the moulds were covered with a layer of vacuum formed plastic, it prevents cement from sticking to moulds.
The last part was the cement pouring itself. We used the high -performance cement which was reinforced with glass-fiber snippets. While pouring the cement we needed to make sure there were not any air bubbles left and to do we hammered them form from each side so the air could go out outside through the specially designed for that
