MASTER THESIS

KOINONIA

program type teacher year

Thesis Studio : Redesign research with Gunnar Hartmann {New Dialogues} 07‘2014

”Koinonia” roughly translatable as “association,” koinonia is defined literally as “a sharing in common.” This concept is very important to Aristotle’s political philosophy and is integral to the nature of the polis: the polis is an association not only in the sense of people living in the same place, but also in the sense of a shared venture in which all citizens take part. Aristotle thus perceives no conflict between individual and state.

A combined cooperative market and farm offered the potential for psychological and physical healing through re-connection to productive land, the environment, food systems, and ideas of provenance. The goal was to use principles of permaculture design in order to build resilient urban food systems and reinvigorate an existing public space.

In a poverty and lack of govermental support mass housing became a contemporary vertical slums. With active collaboration between neighbours this solution tries to pursue adaptable progressive future development. Design decission to build a new extensions-bridges between appartment units were made on a research basis: LINK :prosumerhabitation.wordpress.com It will create a possibility to devide an internal space due to owner demands, where fragmentation offers opportunity.

Master Studio : TinyTower design Sam Chermayeff {June14} 01‘2013

...most of all, I love their light, bright, seen from far sight- a sense of “safety” no matter how dark the night...

Located in Carpathian Mountains, a tower as a symbol which hails travellers in the day with its existence and guides them with its warm light from the top at night, like a beacon on a lighthouse. Their sacred place on a roof with a fireplace and the mirror walls, making the fire brighter, breaking the sense of loneliness with it‘s play.

This is a sense of “safety” no matter how dark the night, welcomes you to this place. The tower is like a monolith out of which only the necessary voids are cut out to allow light to flow inside. The plant filled terraces create a sense of open-ness and green within, the building itself becomes a dialogue between its program, inhabitants and its overwhelming natural surrounding. The view towards the tower and from it create an array of moods and settings through time, the seasons and the weather.

Where it itself becomes the witnesses of the beauty of the ever changing landscape.

Multi-leveled tower as a shelf deriving functions inside. Two zones between travelers and the host family are inter-connected through the kitchen - a meeting point. Climbing wall as a space connector and great opportunity to enjoy this kind of sport even in a coldest winters. The two windows give a constant feeling of being outside.

21

The idea is to guide the tourists as a lighthouse guides ships. In the mountains no one will lose their way or the ones that do will find a place to sleep. The cosy attmosphere reached through vernacular architecture. On top is a fireplace and a sloped roof house for the family with a swing on a balkony for children, a re-configuration of a traditional mountain house.

Master Studio : Toy Store morphing excercise prof: Sandra Manninger {SPAN Architects} 03‘2013

The morphing excercise included the exploitation of the digital tool to acheive a library of forms inspired from the starting object. This library/collection of forms was then analysed for potential in formulating an architectural volume and surface/shell articulation and a set from within was selected and further manipulated to optimize the architectural potential to give the final spatial solution.

The program included a neo-modern exhibition space for toys-music instruments. The interior is a muli-leveled space which could be used for multiple activities ranging from display or exhibition of instruments to practicing playing and making small scaled performances with an alternative stage and spatial settings.

interactive interface

program type teacher year

Master Studio : Interactive DIA experimental prof: Neil Leach {writer, theorist} 07‘2013

The studio focussed on putting in practice the recent architectural discourse on the technological developments in the field of responsive environments and interactive interfaces. The following project started with a research on bio-mimetics and the science of polination in nature based on symbiotic relationships, which led to the relation between genetics and magnetism, which further progressed to the interaction of liquids and their physics. A research into controlling liquids through interaction led to the studies on magnetism and ferrofluids, which in itself opened a whole new possibility from understanding this phenomena and the capability of controlling this fluid through magnetism providing a basis for further research in pattern identification to better understanding of self organizing systems and also to use the potential of this interface and its science of reaction and diffusion to solve spatial organizations and flow of patterns in architecture.

Thesis Studio : Transport Hub reconstruction 07‘2012

The design incorporated the existing under used framework of the old terminal from the Soviet era and modernized to provide newage services and a renewed image of the former dipilidated facility. The design was fabricated keeping in view the economic constraints of the regional government. The existing structure was rather bland and a composition of functional boxes to provide services. The renewal however was inspired by the aerodynamics of the aviation industry, which can be recognized from the pointy, sharp and aerodynamic articulation, resultant of an assemblage of flat planes which formulate the new design. The design was uplifted by making new facades for the existing structure and a new roofing solution which incorporated systems of natural lighting through openings and also offered a green space and viewing decks with public access to the roof with views to the airfeild and the city. Terminals were upgraded according to international standards by adding jet bridges for boarding and passenger safety. A hotel facility was added to the program to further facilitate international travellers and to provide world class services as any other international airport.

Thesis Studio : Educational City design 01‘2011

The sport and recreation center for the Vinnitsa educational city, Ukraine. The centre provides spaces of health and fitness as well as social spaces for student interaction.

The design was based on promoting interaction and maximizing the potential of the site as it is set in a locality which has ample vistas to the surrounding nature i.e. rivers, hills and the forest The facility emobies a large multifunctional indoor gymnasium hall, swimming pool, a secondary hall for alternative sports such as rock climbing etc, a fitness center, a cafetaria which are all juxtaposed to create visual interaction to promote a general sense of congeniality.

INFINITE RUNNING

The running track starts from inside the building and creates a loop which extends outside to give an ever changing dynamic experience through all times of the day and seasons throughout the year. It also takes one away from the madding crowd, yet connected to it

TRANSPORT cORE

Bachelor Studio concept 03‘2010

Increasing urbanization and the resultant rise in the volume of traffic in cities, on the one hand, and the ever greater need to protect the climate, on the other, will fuel the demand for more and more eco-friendly mobility solutions in the coming years.

Station of alternante energy is a conceptual project from the Bachelor program. It is set in the future and in a hypothetical realm where the world is contribute to a reduction in power consumption and researches a possibilities for a new energy resources.

The project focuses on taking away the dependency of our society on the mineral fuels which is a constant source of polution of multitudes which harms our atmosphere on a daily basis and we need to look in the future towards renewable and more eco-friendly energy sources not only for the city level systems but also on the personal and private level. IUL integrates high-power storage units featuring intelligent charging, energy recovery and management technology for electric vehicles.

PUBLIC & PRIVATE

The Station of alternative Energy is idealized as a central unit which acts as the core of commuting in the city.

This central station does not only provide energy to the metropolitan transit systems but also adds energy to the city grid and a refuelling place where people can drive in and charge/ refuel their eco-friendly cars.
