Maria Degtyareva Vaghani
I am a fourth year architecture student from Mississippi State University. I have a very diverse background, which ranges from training as an architect to a strong education in mathematics. Each my project has a thorough concept inspired by natural sciences. I wish to be able to narrate the story about every project, but the format of the portfolio does not allow me to do so. Please, feel free to visit my blog at archmaths. wordpress.com for the stories about my designs and my account on https://issuu.com/mariadegtyareva where I publish all my pamphlets and brochures.

Assembling the model
Externship in DIGSAU was a ve ry i n f o rm a t i ve a n d e njo y a b l e experience. Over the week, I was able to produce three models, which were parts of two projects. During the week, I was working on two assignments respectively. The first assignment was an addition to a school building on Greene Street in Philadelphia, PA. My job was using drawings of the site to create a file for a laser cutter, to operate the laser cutter, and assemble the models of a middle

school and a meeting house. The second assignment was to create a laser cut file and to assemble a site model for a Spring Arts district development project in Philadelphia, PA. The result of this assignment was a model, showing the extents of the future district with detachable city block cut outs, which would allow the client and the design team to brainstorm and rearrange the existing conditions and future proposals.

Ceiling option #2
During a week of externship in Belinda Stewart Architects I got a chance to work with each member of the team of architects there. Each of them had his own project with numerous tasks that they were happy to share with me. My work included organization of project files and documents, organization of the office library, drafting and layout organization in AutoCAD, development of design options with deliverables for the client, attendance during meetings

with a client and a contractor, and creating a rendering of a project facade. I got a lot of experience and learned what an architecture firm is and how it functions. I got even more appreciation about the profession and architecture as a kind of art overall.

This project was created as a part of collaborative studio in team of three people: Larissa Tobar from Building construction Science program, and Austin Schnitzlein and me from Architecture Department. The McKay building is a facility for research, wine making, and an event space for the university. In this project, we would like to transcend the event space as the termination point of the wine making process. First, we started generating a set of rules, which would govern RAINSCREEN WALL DETAIL

The project is the A.B. McKay renovation and addition. The bulding is designed to become a threshold between the first nature of the research park and the third nature of the winery fields. The passage starts from the entrance through the urbanistic event space and out onto the paved outdoor space followed by the formal garden of trees, and the free access to a winery fields. Inside the building, the main focus of the project is to bring the sense of an event to the center of attention, while promoting the main activity of the building - winemaking. The building is designed to clearly distinguish between the public part of the event and the private part of winemaking. The public area is light, open, and capacious with the exposed ceilings; while the winemaking space is meant to be mysterious and enclosed. The winetasting room and the sample library are designed to provide a threshold between the parts.

our design decisions. The building site is consisted of three types of natures: 1st - the wild fields, 2nd the formal garden of trees on a grid, 3rd - the world of the research park in the University campus. The second rule was that given the system the building must serve as the threshold between the industrial and the natural worlds. 1 A110 1 A110

The plan of the building with extent of the site is circumscribed in the nine square grid. The major grid lines divide the space into larger parts, creating a clear separation between the public and the private parts. The event space stepped up in its significance and became a two story space volume. The enthralling nature of the space is highlighted with open structure of the roof. The wine making process is rendered to be a mysterious space with closed systems and narrow corridors. SITE LOGISTICS PLAN

The building by itself became a threshold between the 1st and the 3rd nature, rendering itself as a formal garden. A person would move through a space from one to another side by stepping first on a polished concrete geometric steps of the entrance to the rough textured way through the trees. A thick brick wall is located on the threshold between the public event space and the private rooms of the wine making part, where small openings are used to restrict passage.

The project intent was to design a multi-family housing close to the downtown Chicago, IL, using 3 rules of design Time is space, and could be measured differently in different energy scales; There is no system that could describe all energy scales; however, all systems have something in common; There are two sides of the project: one respects the pedestrian, another-the rider of the

The rules were implicated in the design with the following moves; All major load-bearing walls are thick with windows pushed in to reinforce privacy of a private space; Rendering of the front facade showing the balconies Each time interval change would be represented with a material change; Grid system should change from scale to scale, while maintaining connection between one another.

The project was to design a facade for a narrow dwelling. The idea behind this design was to show a periodical nature of a city life. The theme of the design was damped oscillations. The square columns represent the nods on the axis, the round columns depict the amplitude of the wave at the local maximums. The walls run in direction to an intended tangent at the nods.

The Sun like any other star is a good source of neutrino, and neutrino could pass through the Earth and do not react with anything. The Noxube Refuge, where the laboratory is located, is a national park. The Neutrino Laboratory is nested on top of the Radial Gate, which is served as an entrance to the park. Because neutrino could react only with hard water, the laboratory must be isolated from interference from all other particle. The Neutrino Observatory in the Noxube Refuge is found 2 km down the natural rock and 500 meters toward the south in order to prevent any particle penetration from the atmosphere. The sun relation is conserved at this level, the north part of the level is dedicated to the living space for the researcher, and the south is the research, library, and supercomputer space. The detector chamber is located under the research level at the center [of gravity] of the level.

The first semester of the second year in Mississippi State University is featured with the DesignBuild studio. The purpose of the entire semester is to design an architectural object and build it with our own hands in collaboration with Building Construction Science students. The goal of this semester was building of Storm Shelters in the MSU Golf Course considering ADA requirements. The main challenges were a tight budget, unskilled labor,

and a short time. The first step was to come up with the panel design that could repeat on the shelter pod. I chose concrete as the material for the panels, because concrete is comparatively cheap and easy to reproduce over and over again. The images are of the fabricated panels that I made, and rendering of the complete wall with the final pattern.

A gro up o f st u dents was on charge for the wooden model at 1 1/2� scale. The model helped to fully understand the shape of the shelter in three dimensional setting. It featured with the removable roof and a sliding pod illustrating the panel design. The model accurately depicts selected materials: wood is shown as unpainted wood, steel as painted wood, and the concrete wall is poured using the Portland cement mix.

In course of planning and building the design was modified. Some elements did not work as it was planned, such as roof truss assembly was modified to be overlapped instead of being flat. Design of the concrete wall was also changed. The following set introduces the design as it was built.

After one semester of hard work architectural part of the construction was done. It was a way from not believing that it was possible to finish to the feeling of the complete satisfaction with the piece. Currently, shelters experienced the phase II of its development performed by landscape architecture department students. Today the building looks adorable and very reliable as a storm shelter.

The main motto of this part of the summer studio was: “Grids and Orders“. I was to pick an architect and a recognizable building, explore the order, and reproduce the piece. My architect was Alvar Aalto and the villa Mairea in Finland.

The project is interpretation of design principles used by Alvar Aalto in the Villa Mairea. The building mimics the character of the site, bridging over an existing river. The pool house narrates about the experience of relationship between inside and outside. The central element of the composition is the sculptural wall similar to one in the Villa Mairea. In transition from entrance to the pool itself, the guest has to cross the space and observe the pool from the height of the level.

“Composition around the Void� shows emptiness as an object. I did not show planes of the void; however, the planes are readable from turns and corners made with tangent surfaces. The surfaces rise from the ground plane in rotation motion around the long axis of the void space. Centered position of the void space makes the design static; however, the narrow waist and rotation of the elements around the axis add dynamic tendency to the composition.

The design is a project for the Active Building Systems class. In this project, I needed to create an Electrified Phototropic Object, or a lamp. Parameters for the desired light levels were inputs in the algorithm of the design rules, The lamp is completely customizable, each piece is fabricated using laser cutter, it is detachable could be rotated revealing more or less light depending on a specific task needed.

As a student of the mural art department of Novosibirsk Academy of Architecture and Fine Art I have completed a few projects on walls both indoors and outdoors in my home city, Novosibirsk. This ceramic mosaic was a volunteer project on the building of a School of art for elementary and secondary school kids.

After some training in the mural Art department my creative skills widened. I learned how to create acrylic wall painting, sgraffito out of colored cements, glass and ceramic types of mosaics. I believe that there are times when a good mural could compliment a good design and architecture.

As a member of the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students, I have participated in the Trashion Show. The meaning of the show is to create a dress out of material that normally would be considered as trash. The images on the right are photographs of the Trashion Show in 2014, the main theme was “HighTrashion”. The photos on the left is the dress of the 2015 show, with the theme “Wedding”.

Being a fine art student, I have created number of easel paintings and graphic works. The following are some sets of what I have created as an art person. I like to exercise my hand with sketching and try to keep paper and pencil always easily accessible. I believe it helps to increase the skill level and also to develop creative thinking.
