“PANDA HOUSE” IN COPENHAGEN ZOO a project of panda enclosure done during my practice at Bjarke Ingels Group
“Architecture is like a portraiture. To design a home for someone is like capturing their essence, character and personality in built form. In the case of the two Great Pandas, their unique solitary nature requires two similar but separate habitats- one for her and one for him. The habitat is formed like a giant ying-yang symbol, two halves, the male and the female complete each other to form a single circular form. The curvy lines are ondulating in section to create the necessary separation between him and her, as well as between them and us. Located at the heart of the park, we have made the entire enclosure, accessible from 360 degrees, turining two Pandas into a new rotation point for Copenhagen Zoo.” Bjarke Ingels Project done during my 1.5 year practice at Bjarke Ingels Group

The design of new Panda House begins with a circular shape, formed by the surrounding existing facilities at the intersection of multiple walkways, Panda house is designed to feel like humans are visitors in the Panda home, rather than Panda being the exotic guest from faraway lands. The habitat forms the freest and naturalistic environment for their lives and relationship with each other, providing the freedom to roam about and the ideal conditions to mate one of the major challanges facing Pandas from becoming extinct.* +43,410

“HOUSE IN MEXICO�- INDIVIDUAL REALIZED PROJECT a project of a single-family house in Mexico
The client was a single person fascinated with minimalistic architecture. At her request, I have designed a simple, completely glazed house opened to the garden. The only materials used in the project are: raw concrete, stone, wood and glass. The path is surrounded by a massive wall, ensuring safety in a dangerous Mexican city, as well as privacity in the transparent house.

RESURRECTURE an innovative system of factories of the future focused on efficient recycling, reducing of waste output and producing of clean energy
“Resurrecture� is a proposal for solution to the global waste problem. The innovative recycling system aims to give back to the society lighter, smarter and environment-friendly products. This self-sufficient structure is spreading awareness in the society, focusing on efficient recycling, reducing of waste output and producing of clean energy.

A SYSTEM OF MULTIPLYING FLOATING MACHINES consuming the waste of developed countries The target group are developed countries whose waste is mostly disposed to landfills or shipped to underdeveloped countries. The project is based on a floating machine that recycles the daily waste of a region, surrounding landfills and water bodies. The cycle continues for 3 years and then a secondary, permanent structure isbuilt to deal with the waste in the region in the future. The mother unit moves on to other parts of the coast. 2015

Movement of material is a crucial aspect in the factory. Resurrecture is a one-day machine – waste enters and matter exits within 24 hours. Waste enters by trucks and ships and follows a linear path via recycling pipelines, which twist and turn to enable crossings for the placement of material research, design and prototyping cells. Natural exhibition space is situated below. Quality checks, warehouse spaces and a shop have all been integrated. The waste that cannot be recycled is sent to the energy generator. To introduce a sense of consciousness and awareness of the processes, a visitor path with information centres was designed that mimics the waste flow.

FOOD JUNGLE an unlimited megastructure inspired by the agglomeration of xanthium seeds, functioning as an artificial 3D food producing rainforest
When mother nature designed the xanthium seed she covered it with dozens of spiny hooks that stick not only to fur and clothing, but can also spontaneously agglomeratewith each other. By analysing this self-assembling behaviour it was discovered that a wireframe of the classic Euclidean icosahedron can display similar properties due to the high probability for interaction and connection. When hundreds of such regular geometric modules are combined the result is a spontaneous, dynamic, and potentially infinite megastructure.

UNIT´S STRUCTURE
Each unit has approximately 1m3 of volume to provide a home for the cultivation of a wide variety of climate appropriate plants. These plants will be arranged vertically according to light and temperature requirements, while the horizontal deployment will be determined by access along a predefined circulation route for human interventions including harvesting and maintenance. The icosahedron module serves many purposes including structural framing, spatial enclosure, support for plants (both climbers and terrestrial), and even rain water storage. Each of the 32 tubes that define the structure of every icosahedron consists of a perforated fiberglass shell and a highdensity spongy interior that will absorb rainwater and slowly release it to keep the plants constantly hydrated. The plants themselves are rooted in growing medium contained in a stretchy fabric plane integrated into a defined percentage of the modules. The environment that these icosahedrons create is essentially an artificial food producing rainforest. 13

The project’s aim was to create an appropriate working environment offering office space for co-working and for micro-companies. The object’s space should facilitate entrepreneurship, as well as support people and companies starting up businesses. They should be provided with basic working comfort at lowest possible costs. Analysing the growing popularity of start-ups and business incubators, I have decided there is a need to design an integrated expandable modular system of such centres. The project’s aim was to design a universal module which allows to build up various types of office space, which could adapt to different requirements and plot sizes. A further assumption was the possibility to adapt the size of the centres to the demand on office spaces, creating a system of add-on modules, which can later be dismantled when they are no longer needed.

The system is assumed to be an integrated expandable structure. The centres are built mainly from recycled materials. The materials recovery facility is an integral part of the system. The produced materials are transported to the individual centres and are processed in technological halls to final composites for the building modules.

muimorhC Gansu Province is facing a severe water crisis. Mining and industry are using massive amounts of water, while at the same time creating massive water pollution. The main source of water supply is the Yellow River, which in almost 40% of its volume is heavily polluted and “unfit for human contact”. Among the various contaminants found in the water, heavy metals require special attention because of their toxic effect on humans.

are villages with soil and water supplies that are contaminated, usually with heavy metals. These are entire villages where every other house contains someone dying of cancer or some sort of respiratory problem. Water contamination from industrial pollution is believed to be the main cause of cancer villages, and there is a close relationship between China’s major rivers and the location of cancer counties.

The discharge of industrial effluents into water bodies negatively effects tourism, agricultural and industrial applications.

“IDOL´S TOWER” a tower inspired by Kostya Koval’s dance movement sequences
The subject of my Bachelor’s thesis was to design a tower dedicated to an idol I was free to choose. The idol I chose was Kostya Koval, an Ukrainian dancer and choreographer. This was at the time of the Euromaidan Revolution in Ukraine - I was fascinated that during such violent times people are still creating art, of which Kostya was a personification. The idea of the project resulted from my correspondence with Kostya, who summarized his dancing with the words: “You shouldn’t write about dancing, dancing should be danced”. This sentence became the inspiration to the idea of visitors exploring the tower through dancing. The way up the tower is marked by a serpentine, designed based on the analysis of Kostya’s dance movement sequences - he spins around the dance floor, allowing constant eye contact with the dancer and encouraging the viewer to join in.

The tower was designed enabling the user to experience and feel the relation with Kostya’s dancing. There are two dance floors, a retreat for contemplation and observational use, as well as a backroom with restrooms and a changing room. An additional requirement was that the tower is a temporary object, erected each year anew, functioning just over the summer.
