5 ELEMENTS
lakeside sauna, student competition entry student competition entry year: 2015 location: Virrat, Finland
Warm sensations,.. The concept is revolved around the sensation of warmth. Sauna gives to THE HUMAN (the central element) sensual experience of heat from 4 elements of nature. AIR: Hot steam in the sauna, just throw more water on the stove... WATER: A pool and charcot circular massage shower give to the sauna features of the SPA, wood-fired hot tube outdoors brings unforgettable experience during the winter. FIRE: Lend your hands towards the fire and watch the wood burning. EARTH: Masonry stove is a special feature in the project. Brick absorbs the heat from the fire gases and transfers it as a radiant warmth. Also inclusions of brick walls into the building structure provide thermal inertia, making the building more energy efficient.
Warm sensations, warm relationship and warm solutions
Total floor area: 294,5 sq.m. Terrace: 82,6 sq.m. Gross area: 452 sq.m. Volume: 1520 cu.m.
Sauna is designed with the respect to the valid plan for the building area. Trees along the shoreline are preserved. The main entrance is done from the southern part. Parking space for 3 cars is available. Accessibility requirements are taken into account. The structure of the building is wooden frame construction with inclusions of brick walls to store heat energy inside the building. The basement is an insulated concrete slab with floor heating system. For the facade materials I propose shingles and wood planks.
West elevation
North elevation Triangular shape of living room is not only functional, since it provides a cozy mezzanine and spacious lounge area, but also meaningful. The upward pointing triangle is solar. It is the symbol of fire and the masculine principle in nature which is linked up with love, truth and wisdom. Somehow, it also associate with tent, symbol of adventure, which is so relevant to the activities in Marttinen. In a contrast but harmony, humble volume of sauna facilities speaks with delicate curves of its windows and roof, partly covering the terrace.

warm relationship,.. Diverse functional solutions aim to achieve the comfort for individual and encourage friendship. The living room is divided into 3 zones: lounge, bar and cozy mezzanine, separated from main area with glass wall, for those who prefer to read a book or take a rest after sauna session. Diverse possibilities for furniture layout allow variety of activities. Needs of different age groups are also taken into consideration. Besides separate male and female saunas there is a spacious common sauna with a nice view.

MASONRY STOVE
The intense heat given off by the fire is absorbed by the brick walls that make up the stoves dense structure. Slowly cooling down, the thermal mass of the brick radiate a constant, even warmth. How nice is it to lean against warm wall! Such construction of the stove allows to make it the most efficient. The design is developed by Igor Kuznetsov and is known all around the world. Stove functions on the principle of free gas movement, simply inspired by nature. The hot gases movement in the hood is done not under the influence of pipe draw but under the influence of gravitation force of gases themselves. The hottest gases being the easiest go up, the cold ones being the heaviest are accumulated in the lower part of the hood. The gases having an intermediate temperature are circulating in between. That means that inside the hood a turbulent gas movement takes place, that contributes to a better heat accumulation by the hood walls. Inside the hood with the temperature increase an excessive (higher) pressure is created that also contributes to a better heat accumulation by the hood walls. Heat transfer takes place due to convection (it is the same as air movement in the room), the heat energy is carried over by the gas flow itself. Hot gases do not leave the hood until they transfer the heat to stove. During the summer when there is no need to store the heat in brick mass the shutter for summer flow could be open.

...and warm solutions. WOOD-FIRED HOT TUBE
LAKE-GATE PAVILION
Wood-fired hot tub offers a simple, eco-friendly way to enjoy outdoor bathing. Watching the sun go down from your favourite spot, while relaxing in the embrace of still warm water, is an experience you will treasure, time after time.
Again taking into consideration different people’s behaviour and needs, lake-gate pavilion is proposed. Not everyone dare to dive into cold water. Simple construction provide shelter from wind while one is not yet courageous enough for extreme entertainment.

Laukontori is a dynamic point in Tampere’s center. Attractive functions bring people during day and night and new multifunctional center fits perfectly to the situation. New building is both a cultural activity centre and a well-functioning working place. Spaces to meet, create, work and perform inspire and generate both familiar and new interests. With the respect to the existing market square, the new architecture is located in the corner of the square replacing the parking area.

Section A-A
The entrance area with lobby and foyer on the second floor are light and open. Restaurant is linked to the main lobby, but also have a separate entrance directly from the market square. The extension of the restaurant for summer is also considered. From the foyer the access could be done to the exhibition space, auditorium and multifunctional hall. Also foyer is connected to the tower, which facilitates such functions as administration office, dancing room, open and close working spaces and sound production studios. Since the tower includes public functions it is reasonable to keep it transparent, so going through different floors of the tower one could feel the atmosphere of each section. The roof terrace is a perfect benefit from the tower - enjoy the pleasant view. Glass and aluminium mesh are chosen as the materials so to make the architecture light and simple and create contrast to the city environment. Aluminium facade wraps the whole building binding the horizontal and vertical volumes, windows hidden behind the mesh give a different level of transparency but keep the wholeness of the skin. Total area: 6550 sq.m. (includes underground parking 1050 sq.m.) Volume: 24500 cu.m.

GARDEN OF STONES student housing in Tampere
student project, Housing Design Course year: 2014 location: Tampere, Finland
Student lifestyle has its own features, that need to be taken into consideration — routine, leisure, communication — all the activities are linked to each other. The design aims to provide comfortable living facilities and combine them with shared rooms so to keep the space active. Considering the site as a front lawn of the university, I integrate the campus as an element contrasting to the cityscape. The image of rocks inspired by the surrounding landscape of Hervanta.
Site plan
underground space: parking bomb shelter/storage technical facilities
North elevation
The main building consist of three blocks, linked together with the corridor in the northern part from which the access to common facilities is also provided. Flexible dwelling typology responds to various family combinations and gives solutions for communal living. Studios, family and shared apartments are proposed in the project. The most popular apartments are small studios — convenient and affordable at the same time. Different family apartments are designed to accommodate families with and without children, also there is a possibility to provide dwelling for three-generation families. Each block has two-level apartments on the upper floors. Shared apartments for short-term living include 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms and common kitchen with lounge. Study/hobby rooms could be used both by tenants of the campus and students due to its location in the northern side of the building. In this case such common rooms link campus to the university and create lively area between housing building and Tietotalo. Another type of shared space are double-floor common rooms between blocks. This multifunctional rooms can be used for events, workshops, watching movies or playing games. Project also includes common sauna with lounge and outdoor space, sport facility and day care center. To locate some extra activities the extension in the south-east part of the site is proposed. Student second-hand store, event hall with kitchen are the possible functions. The facility also functions as an entrance to the underground space. Gross area: 7721 sq.m. Floor area: 4645 sq.m. Number of apartments: 40 Volume: 23,085 cu.m. A/V ratio: 0,42

DRAMA THEATRE
theatre in the city of Magnitogorsk student project, Architectural Design Course year: 2012 location: Magnitogorsk, Russian Federation
Since the architecture of public buildings forms the image of urban environment, one of the major goals in design is to create its attractive and remarkable appearance. This especially refers to architecture of entertainment spaces, such as theatre. The whole outlook of the project tends to reflect our city’s and region’s ambience. An attempt is made to present the drama caught in stone. Located on the boarder of Ural River, the theatre building integrates in existing landscape of The Victory Park. With its expressed concept, the building contrasts to the present urban environment of the city and brings the atmosphere of drama. The functional structure of the theater is classic: an auditorium with a parterre, a two-story balcony and lodges surrounded by light couloirs. The gallery directed to the waterfront has a walk down to the small open-air scene. The parking, exposition zone, restaurant and other required spaces are also included to the project. All rooms and studios for artists and administration are situated in the rear part of the building. The access to the theatre is provided through an alley across The Victory Park.

Hankkio area is currently a wide industrial park locating a variety of offices and industries. The area is located to the east of Tampere city center, near the lake Kaukaj채rvi. After a careful analysis of the site we indicated several problems in the existing urban structure and defined its potential. Hankkio is an important point for future development and the project we propose is a comprehensive scenario for its future transformation. Besides the industrial area development the city wishes to attire 2000 new residents and improve the recreational functions. Future plans for the both tram and train connections to the area contribute to its logistic development.
Main strategy
New areas
1. FOREST+ WATER RECOURSES
2. PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR
3. NEW TRANSPORT CONNECTION
4. NEW GRANULATION
THE AREA IS NOT ATTRACTIVE FOR VISITORS 5. EXISTING CONNECTIONS
- Lack of public activities and leisure - Isolated character of industrial zones - Monotonous settlement of private housing - Strong boundaries and difficult connections between areas - Ruined transition corridors between zones - Similar industries located randomly and separately - Randomly located shops and commercial centers - Kaukaj채rvi shore is in poor condition
6. EXISTING GRANULATION
IT SHOWS POTENTIAL
7. TYPOGRAPHY
WHY?
BUT
- Existing railway: not active at the moment, but with a new station it could become a new focal point - Kaukaj채rvi: a popular place for swimming, could attract more visitors - Space for pedestrian and bicycle connections - Diverse enterprises: recycling plants, paper industry (Valmet), furniture production, several logistic centers
THE UNCLEAR COMPOSITION OF THE AREA IS A CHALLENGE
PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT PHASE Ø — EXISTING SETTLEMENT - Many industrial and office buildings of different scale and diverse types of production - Similar industries (ex. recycling) and buildings with same function (ex. shops) are located randomly and separately - The quality of the environment in the industrial zone is in a bad condition: isolated, architecturally unattractive (box-type), uneasily accessible - The area does not have a regular/ geometrical composition (no center or main axis) - Strong boundaries between areas, poor connections - Undeveloped connections and accessibility of housing areas - Unattractive lakeside with very few possible activities
PHASE 1 — ATTRACTIVE LAKESIDE // 5 YEARS - Demolish small industrial buildings in the eastern residential zone and make new mixed-use environment on the same place - Build new housing on the lakeside - Activate lakeside by creating a recreation and leisure environment - Create a green zone along the Kangasalantie street for pedestrians and bicycles - Connect both side of Kangasalantie street by means of architectural solutions (underpassages, bridges)
PHASE 2 — NEW CENTER, LAKE CONNECTION, INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION 1 // 10 YEARS+ - Demolish industrial buildings on the new station site + industries relocation - Build tram station: station itself, small offices, public and commercial spaces - Create main axis (boulevard) - connection from tram station to the lake: pedestrian, bicycle and transport lines, vegetation, services - Introduce an attractive lake landmark: lake platform with different service and activities - Develop area around ETRA-commercial center by relocating existing and bringing new commercial buildings - Build new recycling hub: relocate 3 existing industries on site, bring new types, create a strong entrance to the hub - Start to create a ‘green corridor’: develop western part by making green space, offices, activities
PHASE 3 — ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATIONS // 12 YEARS - Organize water treatment by creating necessary technical infrastructure and buildings - Prolong the main axis running through wetland - Bring activities to water treatment area to make it interesting for public
PHASE 4 — INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION 2 // 20 YEARS - Prolong the ‘green corridor’ towards the eastern side: making green space, activities, offices (relocate existing and build new ones) - Build new housing to connect the ‘green corridor’ with the eastern residential zone - Transform industrial park: demolish some buildings and replace them with new architecture
PHASE 5 — COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION // 25 YEARS - Complete the eastern part of the ‘green corridor’ with green spaces and mixed-use buildings
HANKKIO INDUSTRIAL PARK
stage2. strategy for development of new industrial area student project, Urban Planning Course year: 2014 location: Tampere, Finland
Originally, Hankkio is considered mostly as an industrial area in the Tampere region. The area has its own pattern, however its organization requires a development. I propose to create a new centralized industrial park in Hankkio. The key to proper functioning of industrial park is good management and developed infrastructure. The main idea is to follow the urban pattern of the site but at the same time create a field for new industrial growth, providing spaces both for strong companies and start-ups, temporary companies, small businesses, offices and studios. Transformation of the park may start on the same stage with the development of tram line and creating a new pedestrian route connecting tram station to the waterfront. Also the emergence of the park could contribute the development of new mixed-use corridor running along railway. Several steps towards new industrial area are proposed. Different types of industrial spaces and working places are taken into consideration.
The idea of the GRID helps to create balanced environment. Some сells of the grid are predetermine as green zones without any construction (mainly on the periphery of industrial park, on the border with housing areas). Cells in the central part of the park are defined as places for new permanent industrial buildings. Zones around old buildings indicate transformation of their architecture and future extension of functions. Certain cells of the grid are considered as a ‘playground’ for startups, offices, workshops, exhibitions. Taking into consideration the statistics that start-ups live for 2 years in average, it is reasonable to create such flexible space for temporary functions within Hankkio industrial park. This area of the grid provides entrances to the park, it has connection to all zones of the park. Such a ‘playground’ also has exhibition functions — achievements of industries could be demonstrated here. Administration center is proposed for sustainable functioning of the park. Its functions include control and monitoring, recruiting, business education and communication etc.
PHASE 1// relocate less significant buildings and offices. Analyzing current situation, the decision was made to keep the strong companies on site and relocate the smaller and less significant industries and companies to the nearby new built mixed-used area.
PHASE 2// zoning of the site and infrastructure development. Transport infrastructure is defined and developed. Administration center is proposed for sustainable functioning of the park. Its functions includes control and monitoring, recruiting, business education and communication etc. New industries appear in the site.
PHASE 3// main development of the park. Industrial park grow — new companies come, existing extent. Space is provided for start-ups and temporary offices. Commercial center also appear. Pedestrian way connecting tram stop and waterfront develop together with entrances to industrial zone.
PHASE 4// possible transformation of situated industrial buildings. Buildings, that are kept on the site may change its appearance in case the company is growing or simply moving out, giving the space for new industries of other functions. So, reconstruction can be considered.
PROFILE I was interested in architecture since high school. In 2008 I started my education in technical university in the home city of Magnitogorsk. After 6 years full of joy, inspiration and hard work I graduated with distinction. At the same time I started to get working experience participating in different commercial projects. In 2011 I visited Finland for the first time and being inspired by its functional design and careful attitude to the environment I decided to continue my education in Tampere. Living in this country I learned a lot of new, get exceptional experiences and improved my skills. As an architect, I am currently interested in sustainability aspect of design, especially in housing and public buildings, also I am fond of landscape design, religious and vernacular architecture. In the projects I pay attention to the functionality, aesthetics and search for reasonable shapes and solutions. I am inspired by the statement of Nikolai Rerikh, one of my favourite artists, — future of art is in the synthesis. Therefore, I am on the way to become a specialist who is able to combine different spheres of expertise in order to create high quality and balanced architecture. Particularly, I am improving my knowledge of psychology, history and philosophy; I am interested in possibilities to apply information technology in architecture and already have experienced it within the framework of my degree studies. I can describe myself as a responsible, attentive and creative person, I learn fast, able to work both independently and in a group. I am easy-going and open-minded. I love to study new things, to travel and learn new cultures, practice yoga, love to cook and grow plants.
