00 01 Free Family is a furniture collection developed as part of the 17th edition of the Studio of Educational Programs and Cooperation with Industry in partnership with furniture and material manufacturers. The theme of the 17th edition of PE-P was “Meeting in the intergenerational context” with the aim to bring all generations in families closer together. The Free Family collection introduces the youngest to the process of food preparation and brings fun into the kitchen. The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and it usually provides an inviting and cozy place for family meetings of all generations, for collective food preparation, consumption, and sharing. Due to safety concerns, children are often excluded from family life in the kitchen. Although, the reality of today’s diverse nutritional needs, increasingly common food allergies and the growing environmental awareness leads to the necessity to teach kids how to cook and choose the right diet from a very early age. The Free Family collection is intended for such young families with children living in the city and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The set includes three pieces: a mobile cupboard PANTRY, a learning tower KID.DO and a table TIPI.

Mobile PANTRY is a new functional zone for the kitchen that serves the needs associated with a healthy lifestyle. Its primary purpose is storage of fruits, vegetables and seasonal preserves, for which there often isn’t enough space around the house. In addition to storage, PANTRY includes a space for home hydroponic farming, that meets the needs of contemporary people living in cities, yet dreaming of homegrown food. The lowered countertop serves to ergonomically unpack and sort freshly made groceries. The design is complemented by the CELL UNO digital decor from the 17th PE-P collection, which provides a suitable background for the colours of the fruits, vegetables, and plants.

TIPI is a table inspired by children’s tendency to invent сountless games under the table. The design aims to further encourage creativity. The shelf under the countertop is made of a Rehau RAUVISIO brilliant board, that can be used for drawing with chalk. The decorative elements attached to the legs serve as hooks for hanging bags, but simply by hanging a blanket on them the table can be transformed into a “fort”.

The CELL UNO digital decor was designed specifically for the Free Family furniture collection to provide a neutral background for living plants and bring them into focus. The decor was inspired by the structure of a leaf under the microscope. The aim was to create the impression of overlaying leaf cells, which was achieved by multiplying watercolor brush strokes. CELL UNO is not a direct reflection of nature, but rather an abstract interpretation of patterns occurring in nature. The colour palette evokes associations with the warmth and coziness of a family home.

The entrance area is the most representative part of the complex. The choice of plants aims to encourage people to spend time here and create a cozy atmosphere. The main goal was to maximize the seating area without cluttering the passage to the entrance. The shape of the benches is conditioned by the plan of pre-existing pavements. In order to create a contrast with the color of the walls and the greenery, the seats have been painted red.

The courtyard, located next to the chapel, provides a place for contemplation and solitude. The shape of the bench allows visitors to hide inside a green ‘room’ and rest under a tree.

Flip-and-Dine bench was created during the European Architecture Student Assembly EASA2015 in Valletta as part of the workshop IdeeFix. The aim of the workshop was to create multifunctional design products and furniture, that meet the needs of EASA participants. Flip-and-Dine bench solves two problems that people were facing during the event: a lack of comfortable lunch areas and a lack of personal chill out areas due to overcrowding. This multifunctional object can serve as a hammock or a table with two benches. To change its functionality one only needs to flip the bench over. The use of plywood allowed to achieve a relatively low weight for the bench, which makes it easy to manipulate and move. For the prototype production were used only leftovers from other workshops.

FEEL foldable chair is intended to be a lightweight compact piece of furniture designed with the school environment in mind. The height can be adjusted by fixing the scissor aluminium
leds in different positions. The backrest is fixed in place by felt, which is going to cover
the sitting as well. This would make the backrest springy and add softness the plywood base would otherwise lack.
The shape and detailing are still being finilized.

ZWIN stool was created as a result of experiments with bending dry plywood. Flexibility, and yet the fragility and delicacy of the plywood have led to a solution in which the wooden blocks stop the bending above the maximum radius and protect the material from breaking. This construction allows you to pack the furniture flat, as the assembly requires only a screwdriver. The stool can be made in two material versions: plywood or solid polycarbonate.

Piza birdhouse was built during the architectural festival O’gorod v Sadu, after being selected by the festival’s competition jury. The design was developed by Diana Taukin, and implemented by a team of five students in early spring of 2013. The project aimed to attract more birds to the Alexander Garden in Nizhny Novgorod (Russia), and also serve as a visual accent in the park. Piza contains four small birdhouses in the highest section of the tower and several bird feeders at lower levels for winter periods.

LINIOWY PARK «GLINISCHI»
Minsk has a unique ecological belt of 18 parks - the Green Diameter - that crosses the entire city cutting it into halves. Two additional green corridors - Slepyanskaya and Loshitskaya water systems - enclose the city, creating a continuous circle of parks around it. There’s no such an extensive water and green system in any European city. Unfortunately, Loshitskaya water system was never fully finished. The aim of the project was to analyse the ecological belt and complete the green semicircle of Loshitskaya water system. Part of the land being revitalized is used at the moment for parking and garage boxes, and part of it has been repurposed to build the biggest sports arena in Minsk and a university campus. For this reason the park splits into two elevated boulevards, that allow to keep and hide the necessary parking amenities for the arena. One more element of the city infrastructure dividing the park were the railroad tracks. This has been tackled by designing a pedestrian bridge without stairs over them.

The terrain on site is sloping in the other direction to the rest of the park system with the water being pumped to the beginning of the collection of parks from an artificial lake. The project proposes to create a natural water treatment facilities in the new park and send some of the water back through them, thus cleaning the whole system in time.

The visual identity of the Glinischi park has been inspired by the history of the site, where at the end of the 9th century the village Glinischi was located, famous for its clay quarry. The concept envisages the use of local clay and rammed earth as building materials, the introduction of uniform finishing elements: pavement, small architecture, infrastructure.

site plan The project of a private residential garden included the design of a sauna, that would match the existing house, and a terrace connecting the two. The minimalistic style of the new construction allows the garden to remain the main focal point, with the only accent in the form of open trusses. The terrace was divided into two levels to fit the landscape, creating a dining and a relaxation area.

BUCIUMrest
11 01 BUCIUMrest is an interactive sound installation inspired by a traditional Romanian musical instrument – Bucium. Meant to enhance public creativity, this temporary urban intervention consists of two chambers isolated from the external visual and audio stimuli, but allowing communication between the two spaces by means of sound. In the city of contrasts – Bucharest – it invites people to experience the contrast between tradition and modernity, openness and intimacy, noise and silence. The project was located in the centre of Bucharest in a relatively small public park surrounded by noisy roads from all sides. Nonetheless, it is always full of kids, who make the place very lively. This park is so full of activities and noises, that a temporary escape into quietness would provide much desired contrast. That is exactly what BUCIUMrest aimed to do. Remaining active by character, it offers people an experience of interaction with each other without the interference of the world.
BUCIUMrest

BUCIUMrest consists of two chambers, each allowing one person to come inside and play a musical instrument: low-pitched wind chimes made of steel pipes, and an experimental Japanese harp made of plywood and guitar strings. The instruments were designed and build on site by the participants of the workshop with the help of musical advisers.
BUCIUMrest

BUCIUMrest had to solve three main issues: reverberation of sound in the inner space, blocking the outside noise and audial connection of the chambers. Based on the shape of a traditional Romanian horn the inner space is designed to prolong and strengthen the reflection of sound. Chambers are made of bendable plywood and solid polycarbonate that help to reflect the sound. In addition to their sound properties, these materials allow to easily build curved shapes and create a contrast between modern technology and tradition. The walls and the doors are made of multiple layers of hard and heavy materials and soft sound absorbing parts to provide the necessary level of noise isolation. The chambers are connected by four cardboard tubes, that let sound travel freely from one chamber to the other, but keep the person on the receiving end invisible. All that combined gives people a new shared experience of communication by means of musical improvisation. Hidden enough to improvise freely, people feel more confident in their experiments. At the same time, it enables them to create together.
The workshop included not only construction and design but also had an educational, experimental part. We wanted to build a bridge between architecture and music, bring musical and architectural professionals closer together, exchange knowledge and share perception of space. As a first step, participants made simple instruments from recycled or found objects and played it with the accompaniment of Paul DrăguČ™in, a musician from Bucharest. The next step was the design of the interactive parts for the installation, that was guided by Kieran Heather, an interdisciplinary artist from Glasgow. The interdisciplinary nature of the workshop allowed it to be not only educational for MEDS participants, but to engage the local inhabitants as well. The queues of kids to the installation straight after the end of construction were the best proof of success.

Enhanced Space for Aliens was a two weeks long discussional workshop, that was held at European Architecture Students Assembly [EASA] Denmark 2017 Hospitality. The main aspiration of the workshop was to challenge the idea of human-oriented design approach and to come up with an alternative way of thinking about who or what the end-user is and what its needs might be. Through series of discussions and brainstorming sessions, a team of architecture and design students was broadening their understanding of what the building blocks of inhabitable spaces are. Architecture and design have always been human-oriented. Recent advances in science made it strikingly clear that we can not look at ourselves as if humans were the apex of creation. Intelligence can manifest itself in many forms. In our experiments and discussions, we wanted to switch the focus from human-inclusive design to something even broader - design for any living creature, terrestrial or extraterrestrial.
The resulting environment is alive itself, with the main purpose of providing a temporary shelter. It is a portable transformable structure that has the ability to evolve, reproduce, develop and improve itself through storing “DNA” and learning from its visitors. For the structure not to become gruesomely big, it has to use resources efficiently, which is achieved by its modular structure containing ‘DNA’. It consists of modules with the capability to merge into each other which translates into flexibility and, in some cases, results in interaction and development of common consciousness. Furthermore, the structure has the ability to efficiently exchange information and resources between different elements in the system by using layered cell-like membranes.
enhanced space for aliens
discussional workshop | enhanced space for aliens
We tried to imagine an environment of the future, that will be hospitable to any living creature, no matter in what shape it manifests. The moral question for us was how not to entrap a creature in this hypothetical ideal environment and not to deprive it of an opportunity to develop. The solution came as a need for the structure to provide education and communication between different occupants. We were touching, in a metaphorical way, the questions of hospitality that humanity faces nowadays. Thinking about how humans can accept and welcome any imaginable or unimaginable creature, we discussed issues of cohabitation and evolution, the moral aspect of human intervention and the influence it might have on us. At the end of the conceptual phase, we came up with guidelines containing ingredients for anything-oriented design.

Squeezzz is an interactive game for up to 4 people designed to enhance communication between people and involve the sence of touch. The choise of the material - flour in the baloons was the result of research and experiments with the way people explore objects with their hands. In a bid to make them understand each other’s temperament in approaching the world, pressure sensors have been inserted inside 4 baloons, connected to Arduino UNO microprocessor, programmed using Processing and Arduino languages, to produce ‘award’ sounds when 2, 3 or 4 people match the strength with which they squeeze the toys.
