ACADEMIC PROJECTS After studying architecture for a long time I developed a great appreciation of academic field for stimulating investigation of provocative ideas, daring concepts and challenging the entire notion of what architecture is. With each project I explored something different every time, learned new digital tools and analog techniques, turned abstract theories into conceptual designs, challenged vision of future architecture and pushed myself to the limit. Always searching for more I enhanced my architectural knowledge collaborating with departments of engineering, computer graphics and human ecology which gave me a limitless perspective of how much more is still out there to be invented.

What came across as a common denominator in multiple vernacular examples is a concept of certain porosity or

The goal of the thesis was to extract concepts and ideas of vernacular architecture and apply them to modern buildings through the prism of digital computational tools allowing for more precise environmental analysis and testing, so the focus was on creating a set of rules for generating smart building shapes rather than designing a building having a particular architectural vision and preconception about what the design should look like in the end. Since computer software does not have any preconceptions about the shape - it is possible to produce a form that is environmentally efficient yet impartial to any particular aesthetics that could influence architect's judgment.

In case of Greece buildings use courtyards that allow for better cross ventilation where the air can escape through the courtyard in the middle of the building rather than traveling through more bulky solid shape. In case of Korea buildings are raised on pillars allowing the wind to circulate underneath the building cooling it during hot periods of the year. Vernacular architecture of Japan arranges program in a way that creates narrow exterior corridors shaded by overhangs, so in a way channeling the wind and decreasing its temperature through these corridors creates a passive natural HVAC system.

The site for this project is located in Washington Heights, New York, NY. Site selection was motivated by several reasons. One of them is the fact that approximately two thirds of built square footage of New York City is residential, so sustainable rules and ideas generated for a residential site could be widely

problem of cooling the building offsetting the main load on electrical systems and residents' electrical bills which are known to be very high considering New York City's hot humid summers. The site is a right angle triangle with maximum building footprint of 10,240 sq.ft. oriented primarily north-south allowing for a standalone building completely exposed to north, east and south west. Ideal orientation would be a building elongated along east-west axis, however the shape of the site does not allow for such orientation or it allows for a building of very small footprint. Challenges of the selected site stimulated this thesis to search for creative non-typical solutions. Wind diagrams show that the strongest summer winds come predominantly from south. Winter winds come mainly from west and north west. Spring and Fall winds cover a wide spectrum of directions. Wind data was used in several stages of analysis using Autodesk Vasari software to test aerodynamic shapes searching for forms capable of accelerating wind speeds or creating comfort zones protected from strong winds.

The idea behind the building in this project came from studying vernacular architecture around the world where programmatic areas are often detached from each other and used in combination with narrow corridors with overhangs which creates cooler spaces. As the wind passes through these spaces in summer it is cooled down and in return decreases the temperature of building surfaces. Therefore in the insolation tests it was desirable to achieve a shape with significant amount of areas protected from strong sunlight. Wind test diagrams show wind comfort zones of 0-10 m/s represented in shades of blue and zones of discomfort with wind speeds above 10 m/s represented in shades of red and yellow, yellow being the strongest wind which however could be desirable for capturing by properly placed air intakes. Wind and solar test results were analyzed for each shape to find the most efficient one. Each shape was analyzed for insolation values for summer solstice when the heat gain is the greatest. Cumulative insolation value was divided by the number of polygons to get an average value of BTU/sq.ft. per polygon analyzed. Depending on the shape values ranged from 24 to 118 BTU/sq.ft. per polygon. Shape that was performing best in wind pattern analysis created channels throughout the building that could be used as natural passive HVAC channeling wind through shaded areas that also have a great potential for dynamic social spaces.

The most efficient tested shape was normalized for the final design to comfortably accommodate residential program, have sufficient floor-to-floor height of 10 ft., average lease span of 30 ft. and allow for apartments ranging from 600 to 1400 sq.ft. Based on the predominant winds for summer and winter the building is designed to capture and channel summer time south wind through the building's courtyards.

Skin option 04

: solar shading

Exploded sectional axonometric illustrates the complexity of proposed design that allows for wind flow, curvilinear self-shading facade, unique apartments, intricate circulation and social spaces resulting from interconnectivity of forms. Skin options show potential cladding and structural system of the building based on a diagonal grid since it would be a viable pattern and structure for a complex curvilinear design.

Skin option 05: air intake

Skin option 06: air intake / directing views

Skin option 07: skylights

In an effort to explore and push the boundaries of sustainable design vernacular architecture, wind and solar analysis, computational design and other numerous strategies were explored in this thesis. Rules of building's permeability extracted from vernacular architecture, aerodynamic shapes utilizing wind for passive cooling and shaping facades for solar shading, operability of building's skin were applied in this project. The final design proposal is based on series of environmental tests and evaluations rather than an architectural vision of what an efficient building looks like, yet it maintains residential program rationality and a particular aesthetics prescribed by its author.

CITY S[T]IMULATOR

Data from the web of New York City traffic surveillance cameras is available online and at any given time anyone can access streaming video of city streets. City S[t]imulator project criticizes the current state of privacy shortage within NYC streets and public spaces posing a question of psychological discomfort that such state potentially creates since it is unknown who is watching and how this information is used. It maps existing traffic surveillance camerasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3D visibility range searching for blind spots. Once blind spots are identified, they are transformed into a virtual world that offers a different perspective on what is privacy, surveillance and interaction within unobserved spaces.

The main concept of Mannahatta School is very ecological in its core - the shape of the building and its landscaping strives to recreate the natural edge that Mannahatta island used to have before 1609. Since the site is located on the waterfront, the building has to address natural conditions of flooding. In order to do so, this design employs wetlands, tall grasses and other planting strategies to create a natural barrier protecting the main structure while providing a scenic walk for the public. As the shape of the boardwalk folds up and down (submerging in several places to create oyster-beds) and the level of water is different depending on the season, the artificial landscape will be constantly redefined by natural ecological factors providing a more dynamic ecological environment.

Wetlands serve as a natural barrier when the water raises. As the shape of the boardwalk folds up and down raising water during different seasons â&#x20AC;&#x153;reshapesâ&#x20AC;? this landscape and creates mini-ecosystems. The shape of the building lets the courtyard stay safe at all time, even during the most severe flooding. It also provides a private and safe space for school kids. Responding to the Ecotect Weather Tool prevailing wind diagram, building is shaped to protect open courtyards from prevailing strong winds from the south, south west and north east. This creates a comfortable outdoor environment protected from undesirable weather conditions.

PARAMETRIC STUDIO This new type of library creates a connection between Morningside Park, St. John The Divine Cathedral and intersection of Amsterdam Ave. and W. 113th St. Programmatic spaces are arranged based public density attractor points, analysis of traffic and pedestrian circulation, and connectivity with public transportation. The library is designed to arouse more interest towards books as physical entities, as opposed to digitally based information. To expose the materiality of written materials, this library project deliberately exposes book storage which is operated using Automated Storage and Retrieval System. Book stacks with automated retrieval system are put on display creating a spectacle of modern mechanization, while serving as an enclosure for the building. Enclosure of the building utilizes the subdivision concept based on the geometric transformations of the rose window of St. John Cathedral. Subdivision concept is used to efficiently store books by their size since handling and retrieval is fully automated.

Cornell University Core Design Studio project of dwelling / office / gallery creatively approaches building's circulation, ADA requirements and topography integration. The idea for this project started with a collection of neckties and examining this fashion accessory. Storage device for each tie was designed mimicking the motion of wrapping a tie around oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. Project developed further into a gallery hosting this collection of neckties and a dwelling hosting the gallery itself. The dwelling belongs to two brothers working in fashion industry hence programmatic composition consists of the gallery and work space constituting the core of the building and two residences flanking to its sides.

Two separate lifestyles merge together in the collaborative work space which metaphorically resembles the knot of a necktie where two ends of one entity come together. Since one of the dwellers is in a wheelchair, the entire circulation of the building is designed to have ramps instead of stairs. Steep topography of the site and multiple levels of the building required significant length of ramps, therefore it was decided to wrap the ramps around the office/gallery space to provide sufficient length. Multiple thresholds and apertures blend the gallery and circulation where one becomes a part of the other. Complexity of the gallery and circulation core resemble the complexity of geometry found in a dissected knot of a tie.

HIGH-RISE STUDIO This mixed-use complex consists of two office towers and a hotel / residential tower with a restaurant and an observatory at +900 ft. Four stories of the sub-level structure host hotel facilities, residential and office parking, mechanical and service areas. Peaks of the towers face south and incorporate solar panels. The site for this project is located next to the Swissotel with the main entrance off the Upper Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL.

STRUCTURAL MODEL MAKING Renault Distribution Center by Foster & Partners Team: Yuriy Chernets & Yifei Yang

PROFESSIONAL WORK Within professional field of architecture I specialize in Revit and BIM with emphasis on conceptual modeling, building enclosure modeling, highly parametric custom family objects, adaptive components, photorealistic visualization, training in architectural software. Having practiced in Ukraine, United States and China I worked on single and multi-family housing, retail planning, corporate and higher education architecture collaborating on schematic design, design development, construction documents, 3D modeling, visualization and a lot of other tasks. All projects I worked on taught me to appreciate difficult tasks because every challenge has a solution and there is a great satisfaction in finding a smart and elegant one.

BIM LEADERSHIP Constantly expanding my BIM expertise I realized that sharing knowledge is one of the best ways to stay sharp and adapt to ever-changing architectural tasks. Working at Perkins Eastman Architects I collaborated on projects in different phases, various scale and typology. Being a part of BIM Leadership Committee of the firm I wrote tutorials and conducted workshops on - conceptual mass modeling emphasizing strength of Revit in early stages of design; - adaptive components allowing generation of curvilinear organic shapes; - custom parametric curtain panels for orthogonal facades and pattern-based curtain panels for cladding non-linear geometries; - utilizing Revit for visualization. Conceptual example on the right showcases how one single curtain wall panel using conditional statements and reporting parameters can adapt to varying scales and conditions creating highly customizable and responsive facade. Mass-modeling study on the right utilizes splines, pattern-based curtain panels and adaptive components to create fluid parametric shapes that are easy to manipulate and customize while also taking advantage of Building Information Modeling aspect of Revit.

BIM LEADERSHIP Being always interested in not only gaining professional expertise but also sharing the knowledge I organized workshops and created tutorials on Revit Architecture. While this vacation house design is a personal project, I chose to make it a study prototype and a playground for testing various workshops at Perkins Eastman Architects and Cornell University. Conducted four tutorials at Perkins Eastman Architects covering Revit conceptual mass modeling, linear and pattern-based curtain panels, adaptive components, texturizing and rendering. Over the course of two years organized and conducted monthly tutorials at Cornell University covering basic and advanced modeling, conceptual mass modeling, graphics, interflow between Rhino and Revit, modeling with Revit / rendering with Rhino & VRay.

Chicago East Village multi-unit residential development proposal. Multi-unit residential building at 1727 W. Augusta Blvd. was one of the first projects that I've designed for Newgrange Development in collaboration with its founder Sean Moran. As the company's philosophy is building "green", this project is notable for the extensive use of solar shading systems, operable sun louvers, green roof and exterior planters for growing your own veggies right outside the kitchen window. Rooftop provides great views of downtown Chicago while the residents can enjoy relaxed lifestyle of the hipster East Village neighborhood.

Newgrange Development LLC 1432 W. School St., Chicago, IL 60657 The client - Chicago company Barrett Homes - requested photorealistic renderings and a walk-through animation that would facilitate marketing of this property. In order to provide the highest and most accurate level of detailing I took thorough measurements of the millwork, casework and all possible details from a similar house of Barrett Homes and modeled everything down to door knobs using Revit Architecture. My work resulted in numerous renderings of every room of this house and three-minute long animation providing a visual tour of three floors of this house that could get future owners excited about their new home before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even built.

INDEPENDENT PROJECTS While most of the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m absorbed by professional work, I still like to find time for design competitions, studying new architectural tools and sharing it through tutorials. Occasional free time is also spent on photography endeavors which help in taking a step back to appreciate beauty of existing things, develop a critical eye for light, color, form, composition and other natural aspects which also enhance my architectural visualization skills. I enjoy all things related to architecture, design and everything that is visual and experiential so my idea of taking a break is switching from one creative project to the next one maintaining constant intake of information and generation of ideas.

VISUAL REPRESENTATION â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clockwork Coffee Boxâ&#x20AC;? was submitted for the Cypress International Competition for Inventive Architecture: Reinterpret. Later the project was remodeled for the Visual Representation class at Cornell University. I decided to go beyond a traditional understanding of a coffee shop and have its middle two floors rotating so that the building is constantly reinterpreting its shape. The shape comes from a 14-meter cube standing on one of its corners and sliced into four floors. The second and the third floors rotate around the vertical circulation core which hosts coffee bar, staircase, elevator and mechanical systems.
