f irst semester. A ssignement "G a r a g e " n "Okt yabrskaya" metro station has been chosen as a model for this project, which is a an intersection point of a few major transport arteries – Kolcevaya and Radialnaya lines of metro, Sadovoe kolco and Leniniskiy prospect streets. This is, indeed where traff ic jams start on the daily basis right to the heart of the cit y. Once the residents had a chance to leave their car, and proceed their travel by metro, such transport issues could be partially avoided in rush hour. Building site for development is current ly a small green zone above the underground surrounded by 4 roads. Due to the ecolog y and lack of attention plants and trees are dying. In the end, there is a small island of grass with dying plants, without any clear function to it. The objective became clear — to transform this land to a functional and purposeful space, yet saving the green zone and making it more public-friendly. Consequent ly the green zone is raised to a third storey, leaving all the space to a parking zone. In addition to that, the plants get a chance of sur viving with better ecolog y and a larger distance from the road. The existing public green space — Kaluzhskaya square, now has a strong connection with the roof of the establishment.

Whole region is stretched along the river, which is not anyhow included in the daily life of the cit y. Adding an embankment adds gravit y to it. Far away from the roads, it becomes a new pedestrian arter y of the cit y connecting new regions with a historic centre. Since both the school and kingergarten have an exit to the embankment, it allows kids to travel to school in safet y, without a necessit y to cross any roads.

n Main objective of the project was to create a communal building, which would meet the aesthetic and functional requirements of the assignment. Primar y material used here is reinforced concrete. Outer surface of the façade has movable wooden panels, which reveal windows. On the back, panels are f inished with a material that ref lects ray heat, thus reducing the costs on central heating. Particular combination of materials, namely wood and stone, is ver y peculiar - it is especially t ypical for Russian 18th centur y buildings, known as “podkletnaya izba” (wooden living house), which have a foundation made entirely out of stone. Modern Borovsk still has a signif icant amount of these kind of buildings, which may be considered as Borovsk’s distinctive feature.

gramme, 3rd course, f irst semester « S c h o o l » assignement n School has been designed on the foundation of a previously designed recounstruction of the region in Borovsk town The establishment has t wo entrances – one from the road and from the embankment. Thus, kids that are traveling to school by foot may walk the distance through the embankment without crossing any roads. The polygon shape of the building is achieved by relative layering of t wo xy panes. First is relative to the town plan, while the second one points to all cardinal directions. The surface of t he building by itself is a system of narrow vert ical panes, which cont rol t he f low of daylight t hrough t he building.

studying programme, “ C l u b ” assignment n
Archiectural term «club» is a term, which out lived itself in the late 80s. Def inition of that is a building, specif ically designed for certain t ypes of leisure for certain social groups of people. Thus, it has a social divide in its foundation from the start. I have left the space requirements of this assignment and changed its name to “Multi-purpose public center”. My target has become to design a building, functions of which will not only satisf y the needs of the local residents, but to create a universal social platform, which would add vibrancy to the town and develop cultural progress in the cit y. Borovsk has been chosen as a cit y model for this project. This town has a rich histor y and there is a great number of objects of cultural heritage. Despite the fact that Borovsk is only 80 km far from Moscow, it seems ver y distant and isolated from the capital, especially due to the public transport diff iculties. Since locals cannot easily travel to Moscow, def iciency of cultivation is ver y visible indeed. I have been given a choice to choose a region for this assignement, and have decided to locate it in the historical heart of the cit y, which is easily accessible. I have also, however, placed it in a cozy and quite place, where residents would enjoy their walks and where one could interact with the nature. I also found myself striving to integrate the building within the surrounding architectural and natural landscape. For example, from the side of the entrance, which is located on the main square, a visitor only sees a small part of the building, whereas the rest of the volume is seamlessly buried within the relief of the landscape. In addition to that, the f inishing is made of wood, a material, which is used in 75 percent of facilities of town, which connects historical culture with architecture. In the analyzing process I have noticed that, despite the presence of a river, almost none of the local residents spent time down at the water. This may be due to inexistense of an actual embankment, the shore looks wild and not suited for walking. In the course of time, river has fallen out of ever yday life of the residents, and its historic importance has been forgotten. One of the objectives for me was to reunite the town and the river. River is a reference point for this building, it can be seen almost from ever y chamber. Also, the building has an additional functional of a stairway to it. The shape of the building allows people to walk down to the river

without entering the establishment by using the stairs located on the roof. Due to the features of the landscape, with an orientation to the river, it appears that all windows are overlooking north. To f ill the building with a right amount of sunlight, I deformed the rectangle elements so that the façade is not facing north completely. Problems of illumination are solved with large glass panes. Considering the Russian climate, such large pane may seem like a ver y ineffective solution. To compensate that, I used shutters where one side is f inished with wood, and the other with a ray heat f inishing. During the night these are closed and so the loss of heat is reduced, therefore reducing the cost of heating. These shutters may also be used during the summer, when protection against direct sunrays is so needed, or during the daytime to darken the inside space for special events. (for example for a f ilm show).

n Hitrovka is one of the central districts in central part of Moscow. 90% of buildings at Hitrovka are 2-3-storied houses, some of them are built in in 17 centur y. The only square in the area is Hitrovka Square, but several years ago cit y administration started to build 25f loor business center right on the square. That could totally destroy the district. After a series of citizens manifestations, building of a center was cancelled, since then square is closed and nothing is done about its reconstruction. While creating the project I was tr ying to think of a new cultural center that would attract people to the area, but at the same time would be useful for those who live in the nearby houses. That is why I’ve made a decision to place all the exhibition spaces underground, and to create recreation pedestrian zones on its roof. So far museum project consists of 3 parts: underground exhibition space, small one-storied off ice building for museum workers and narrow 4-storied building, where café, librar y, bookstore ant the main entrance hall are situated.

57 “A r t i f ic i a l l y R e c r e a t e d ”
“A r t i f i c i a l l y R e c r e a t e d ” o r “ 1 : 1” pr o j e c t Moscow 2011 The project was implemented within the f ramework of modern sculpture contest, held by the c e n t e r o f contempor a r y a rt " W i n z a v o d " in the
summer of 2011. Supported by young artists programme « S t a r t ». n "1:1" project is an epitomized sculpture of the terrain. The shape of the car ving itself is not of a random location, but of a particular place associated with my own personal biography, histor y and memories. The formal solution of the sculpture was designed after measuring the land, depleting a method that is often used to create cartographic drawings. I did not make up the form of this specif ic work, but "borrowed" it from the actual surface, which it closely represents. Having said that, it was only the sceleton that was taken from a complex multilayered and disordered image of the nature. Details and distinctions of surfaces, their texture and color are scrubbed, erased; the object then acquires a geometric purit y and homogeneit y. Material and visual qualities deprive the sculpture of the sensitive element and leave the mathematical accuracy of technical and intellectual operations. Its visual features aggressively emphasize the artif icialit y of things and the fact that it has been indeed man-made. Reproducing the topography on a scale of 1:1, motivated by a plea to understand the terms upon its visual representation I was eager to see if it will affect me in person, especially my emotional reaction to that specif ic location. This is an exploration of whether it is possible to def ine the procedures and mechanisms, the use of which in the cultural f ield allows you to label the "source" of subjective perception and assign it as a whole memory.

n The main idea of the project was to combine an exhibition with a discussion spot in one space thus creating a clear connection bet ween the works of art and the discussions behind them. At least 16 artists took part in this exhibition, most of which would present video pieces. Large amounts of those videos pushed me to hang the screens in such a way, that they split the space and therefore become partitions themselves.
