Lefortovo lighting bath
The word and the sound, shape and its color - are the carriers of the transcendental essence, we vaguely suspect, as well as sound, turning the word, makes it shine - like color gives shape soul. The form has its “ethical-aesthetic� expressive value. Johannes Itten

hot spring, born of the mountains geological time feeling that the building was there before all only the rectangular shape reveals its existence here facade, facing the mountains, has a window and terraces, but it does not have doors relationship with water are converted into color temperature is associated with color water has a taste all this helps to hear the music of stone surprise in each section moving from one cell to another, people have all the possible relationship with water
[Architecture – it is the body. So it exists] shell of the building is an instrument 5m high units out of scale of human size
[Strong image is not an idea‌ powerful image] physical event the creation of a term is the transformation of a picture into the architecture spelaean 15units parallelepiped units are all different large roof section 15cm gaps between blocks Impression of light do not use smooth blocks each slab have a different thickness importance to create complex design symphony of stone time our scale of universe naked image of mountains baptism new world of stone unbelievable richness of part-stone and part-water water shines t night the lite shines from water
[Human body works like a poem, a novel of life. If you will succeed in it, it could become a meaning of understanding the emotional form of whole] as a wonderful film the bath is the specific world of existing
[Fine definition of architecture is to provide freedom] architect wants to suspend time but client exists on having clock
[Building for the program = program for the building]

Constructivist quarter. Built in 1930. Houses almost collapsed. Glass can be removed from frames in the hallways without effort. Cracked brick. The smell of mold everywhere. The walls are filled with old inscriptions: “No smoking” and “smoking area”. Basements crammed with empty bottles. Children also live here.
Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Huge private territory. Closed from the inside of the quarter, main facade opens to the waterfront, but also closed to visitors. No any place for a stroll. You can’t walk around the campus because of the mass of warehouses surrounding it.

Lefortovskiy Palace. Built in 1698. Last reconstruction made in 1850. Palace in Moscow on the right bank of River Jauza in Lefortovo, currently occupied by the Russian State Military-Historical Archive. The building was rebuilt many times. View from the Jauza currently unavailable. On the part of the 2nd Bauman street square wings are reviewed.

Quarter is divided into three territorial components: 1. Constructivist district with a school, a kindergarten, and a morgue 2. Lefortovskiy Palace and parking in front of it, which previously belonged to the palace territorially 3. Bauman Moscow State Technical University Buildings
Pond in front of the palace 1750
Nearly 2/3 of the quarter is private. The most private areas bordering each other tightly. It is very difficult for a pedestrian connections within the quarter. Passing the quarter across is possible in one place only: between the Constructivist district and the Lefortovo Palace.

Analysis of the site Transformation of borders of the site Restrictions: Lefortovo tunnel. It passes under the site and makes part of the site unsuitable for new construction. The territory of the plot also has a ventilation booth.
View of the ventilation booth
After finding that half of the area is unsuitable for the design, I decided to find out, what the fenced area in front of the palace consists of. It turned out that the three objects plased there - cellars, which appeared only in the Soviet time. Today they are not in use and have not equal value to the palace. In my project, I propose the demolition of these three objects and expending design territory closer to the Castle walls.

Script of the building
Do not let the visitor to see the internal structure of the building from the street is the one of the most important roles of the script. Therefore, the entrance is the most isolated space. It acts as a buffer between the building and the real world. The main place of the building where we find ourselves is a sort of a carefully planned “drive�, reserved, but comprehensively helping to plunge into the special atmosphere. Here, in this small space, the character of the building came up - its energy, natural disaster, and even season of the year. There should not be a clear dominance, which we would like to hold opinion. This technique will help us to direct the necessary concentration and simultaneously share all alternately sensual thoughts which were placed here.This space is not lobby. It does not visible from anywhere and does not work as the main communication. We come here only twice – when we enter and when we leave the building. Leaving this place in order to penetrate deep into the building, we will have time to forget it a little bit, but when we return to leave it, we will carry our memories out exactly only of it. The main functional unit is divided into two parts - male and female. Organization unit is not quite common. A list of the necessary facilities will be structured sequentially. The main energy center of the whole building is a steam. It zoned both horizontally and vertically. Its shape is a rectangle with a strong ratio of long to short side. The visitor has not just sit but slowly move through the elongated cascade space. This space have an elevation zones with different temperatures, sounds, lighting, and odor, intricately shimmering and depending on the humidity. Each zone of the cascade is original and individual, but does not organized for staying in it. The visitor is sure to climb upper and upper to find himself in a new, previously unseen concentration ensemble of sense experience. The top level of the steam is almost unbearable to stay there for more than 5 minutes. This place is the main energy barrier, emotional density, and probably the culmination of a script. Here we stop to think about what will happen next, feeling only that, whatever it was outside, getting into the inevitable. When a visitor comes out of a narrow, noisy and hot space, silence and sudden freedom gaze deafen him all of a sudden. Now he found himself standing at the pool in the open air.

Situation today: The area of the Palace is closed to visitors, the area with three warehouses fenced
M
Step 1: To open the main arch of the Palace and arrange entry to the building through the Palace area
Step 2: To organize the park on the site and on the area where the warehouses will be demolished. This park will be linked with the park of the Palace grounds by the inner arch of the Palace.This will make it possible to bypass the Palace from all sides, as well as improve pedestrian connections within the quarter

Number of units
The building has a three-part system: 1. A fragment of the foundation of the Palace 2. The main unit 3. Part of the building, which will become part of the urban situation Lefortovo Palace is a historical monument, the most that I allow myself to do - punch a small hole in the base for entry and pass it through. The walls of the foundation will be strengthened and restored. This part will be the front group. The central and the main part of the building - the heart of the building - a sequence of rooms in which the light has special color. “Light exists in order to revive the shape, and color - in order to give the shape it’s soul.� Johannes Itten. This part also serves as a spa and therapy. The last part of the building - the complex space, which existing underground and on the ground. This part - the ultimate point of the previous sequence and at the same time the urban dominant.

Historically, it was planned that the palace will have a pond in front of it. But due to the many changes in the projects, the pond has never been to this place. I decided to put this idea into practice and put a pool of water around the protruding part of Lakonik.
