EMANCIPATING HINDRANCE Hong Kong Urban Agency as a participatory alternative for democratic city development - Hong Kong Urban Agency as a participatory alternative for democratic city development - Hong Kong - Master thesis (Hochschule Anhalt, DIA), July 2020 - Supervisor: Ivan Kucina This project imagines an alternative to urban development in Hong Kong involving citizen participation. It envisions the potential in creating an open urban agency in the city suffering from the lack of democracy to draw attention to existing issues and create the catalyst for social and political change in Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong was returned back to China’s rule, young citizens fought for their independence and endeavor to keep alive the city’s ‘disappearing’ identity. During this journey, numerous occurrences marked the expression of urban creativity. Bamboo barricades made using traditional scaffolding techniques, art installations produced as part of protests, makeshift fortresses from all materials you can possibly find. All this power gathered on the street was set to establish a new democratic alternative for Hong Kong. Hindrances added to the city’s tissue, instead of creating barriers, opened new horizons... Times Square building was squatted to provide a framework for space of experimentation with added lightweight, makeshift, temporary, and adapting ephemeral architecture.

Creative Laboratory starts from Times Square plaza, evolving around the Path of Freedom and the set of ‘expresscalators’ accessing directly the second floor. It performs as the kernel with all creative activities taking place on it’s periphery and uniting intersection in the middle for collaborative work, game play, and collective experimentation. The Path of Freedom goes along the system of ‘expresscalators’ which stretch for two levels, sometimes overlapping to provide connection. Here, ‘expresscalators’ work as kind of boosters, giving an option to reach a necessary point with the higher speed. Mentioned elements of ‘verticality’ are accelerating the physical movement in building stimulating dialog between elements and participants.

Emancipating Hindrance Bamboo workshop uses Virtual Reality technologies to recreate models constructed in digital software. Craftsmen equipped with VR glasses are following holographic guidelines to achieve accuracy. Bamboo bending machine is operated with virtual instruction translated in form of hologram.

Drones-scanners for diagnostic purposes can analise hardto-reach construction details and evaluate the level of visible damage. In addition, built in scanners censors can check moisture contents and other the physical qualities of construction material.

Drones-scanners and series of hologram projectors are enabling the experience of augmented reality. Information received from scanners is updating the digital system, which allows to make changes in projected virtual reality according to the physical one. Moreover, scanners are used to assist in maintenance of the structure, locating fragments needed to be repaired of strengthened.

The Neon Lab specializes in the production of neon signs and in restoration and replication of demolished ones. It is a place where the knowledge is shared to preserve the tradition of calligraphy and neon sigs making.

Emancipating Hindrance

Glass tubes are bent using different types of burners. The ability to recreate the complex calligraphy takes a lot of experience and skillfulness. The variety of colors is achieved by coating tubes with powder or paint in combination with subsequently filling them with gases such as neon or argon.Â

The Garden is equipped with the systems of rainwater collection, aquaponic system and water tower with the pump powered by a wind turbine.

Emancipating Hindrance Some of the supporting structures are made following traditional in Hong Kong scaffolding techniques. This engages the local craftsmanship and creates a dialogue between experienced artisan, who are sharing their knowledge, and their students.

BLANK SPACE -

EUROPAN 15 Vallbona, Barcelona, Spain Master 2nd semester (Hochschule Anhalt, DIA), July 2019 In collaboration with Alfonso Galán and Yegor Artyukh

The Blank Space is not a vacuous space devoid of any meaning, but a space designated to be filled - a place for experimentation and endless potentiality of a probable development. Instead of proposing one fixed direction for further elaboration, the Blank space concept suggests leaving a way for more ‘natural’, instinctive, transformations by increasing participation of citizens,and, hence, supplying adaptivity and flexibility. The management of this Blank Space is based on the collective decisions of residents and gives the power to the community to apply the changes in the soil. The majority of the intervention area is assigned to the common soil. It is operated by a cooperative or cooperatives that determine the future use of the soil. All of the new citizens and the current Vallbona’s neighbors can be part of this social structure and can suggest activities they need in their neighborhood, the buildings they require or the projects they want to develop.

Portfolio | Mariya-Anna Bykova

The entire project space consists of ‘blank’ spaces and the infrastructure which surrounds and penetrates them. Whereas ‘blank’ spaces are the key point in terms of Vallbona’s productivity, the infrastructure is represented by numerous services and links that will increase neighbourhood’s selfsufficiency and attractiveness. The core approach of putting this concept into practice is to introduce and use as a basis the system of paths and connections, the skeleton, that connects main axes from Vallbona to surrounding neighborhoods and Barcelona and also creates proximities inside the neighborhood itself. Everything in between the main structure is the Blank space - a testing field structuralized by an invisible grid and set of guidelines to simplify the application of anticipated by community implantations.

The Blank Space is a flexible base for multiple agricultural and crafts scenarios. To provide this ability we implement flexible module structure system that allows to create a very wide range of temporary, but reliable structures in any point of the Blank space area.Thus, due to the usage of customizable structure system there might be dozens of various scenarios with different footprints on the site, depending on the needs and interests of the cooperative.

HOUSING / TYPE 1 The proximities to a current residential area, proposed market plaza, planned sport facilities and the riverfront enhance urban saturation of the housing location. The complex itself is series of offset residential blocks, that can be built in stages, with various courtyards and passages. Although being a communal meeting place, due to shifting volumes of block components, the space in between residential blocks provides different levels of openness a privacy.

Excluding private ‘gardens’-patios attached to the apartments on the ground floor, courtyards serve the purpose of a continuous collective agricultural plot - the ‘blank’ space. Additionally, to create link and synergy between residential and public, and to activate communication, we are introducing such elements as shared between residents rooftops and patios, the places of local product distribution, fab labs, workshops, and cooperative office.

Modular system allows flexibility of layout. Private patios

The typology varies from one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments, providing accommodation for different groups of residents.

HOUSING / TYPE 2 The individual houses related directly to agriculture, with their own common garden, are closer to the tradition of Barcelona and Catalunya. There are organized around semi close spaces as the patio and the backyard or the garage that creates a flexible space that articulates the house vertically, in reference to the patios of the palaces of the medieval artisans of Barcelona. Also there is an horizontal relation between the public spaces, related with the Masses and farmer houses of Catalunya, where all the public life happens and synergies can be emerge, both in the common backyard or in the streets. This creates a duality in section between the open spaces of the beginning and the end, in whose interstices the private activities are located. In addition, the horizontal holes create different areas for family use that look out onto an open and common space throughout the house. These houses also follow the modules of Blank Space, so their flexibility is maximum, they can be used as homes, merged to create spaces with different necessities, commercial spaces, workshops, etc.

THE CULTURAL CENTER The cultural center is available to the needs of the neighbors and their requirements also following the modular system and allowing maximum flexibility depending on the activities to be developed during the year, initially having open spaces. The space could be clogged to the total and also continue to expand with new modules that would hook perfectly to the modules that we propose in the begining for the whole Project. The square that surrounds it has been reordered giving importance to water and green areas, with cultivation areas and urban gardens for the residents of Vallbona and landscaped leisure areas. In addition, the RecComtal recovers and focuses on it all the activity of the square as backbone and secondary axis of the BesĂ˛s.

Blank Space PROCESSING AND PACKAGING CENTER The processing and packaging center is the heart of the cooperative. In addition to processing the products, meetings and debates are held. For them, there is a structure of inhabited trusses that allow a large industrial space in the center and that all the services and offices are in the walls and the roof. This duality of spaces allows to have diverse very different functions in the same space and to take to the limit the possibilities of the industrial structures. The building, like the entire project, is flexible and can be expanded or reduced by adding modules or removing them. This allows a great adaptability to the volume of production depending on the harvest or the demand.

NON-GRAVITY TINY HOUSE -

Design of Tiny House Suwa No Mori, Sakai, Osaka, Japan Master 2nd semester (Hochschule Anhalt, DIA), June 2019 In collaboration with Guido Campi Design Prize, Tiny House Student competition at Suwa no Mori

The project for the Suwa no Mori tiny house in Japan consists of a solid box that acts as a container of all activities of daily life. Cooking, eating, gathering, relaxing, sleeping and meditating while staring at the urban surroundings, all that happen in a series of platforms that are especially located to provide a nice sequence of spaces in a playful way. Inside the box, limits donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist: space fluents creating pure verticality, strengthened by the tensioners that support the wooden platforms.

ROOF STRUCTURE Prototype - Seoul gymnastic stadium. David H. Geigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patented cable dome. Main structural elements: tension cables,compression posts, tension ring,compression ring . Loads are carried from a central tension ring through a series of radial ridge cables, tension hoops, and intermediate diagonals until they are resolved in a perimeter compression ring. The dome behaves like a series of paired cantilever trusses not quite touching at the center. The membrane that covers the dome comprises four independent layers: 1. High-strength fiberglass fabric with a silicone coating on both sides. 2. An insulating layer of fine fiberglass .enclosed in polyester bags. 3. Mylar vapor barrier. 4. A silicone coated acoustic liner made with an fiberglass fabric.

CONTINUOUS SPACE - Design of recreational space in general education school for pupils aged between 6 and 17 - Master 1th semester, December 2017 This project was designed within the framework of the New Educational Space developed by The Ministry for Regional Development, Building and Housing of Ukraine to achieve a qualitative change and to create a modern architectural and functional school space. The design focuses on the idea of continuous space - a space without barriers. Visually open zones with different dynamics meet the requirements of sufficient functioning and encourage interactivity. The recreational space is conditionally divided into several areas: a passage, a study area, “green” recreational area and “indoor playground”. All in all, the key aspects of the design are collaboration, health, interaction, and flexibility.

PLAY-HOUSE - Design of theatre play-house for children and youth interactive education - Lviv, Ukraine - Barchelor thesis, June 2017 Zamarstyniv, a rapidly changing district in the city of Lviv, due to its increasing residential sector, needs a multifunctional public cluster to fulfill resident`s cultural demand and to host the diverse events. An introduction of a new theatre play-house with concomitant various purposes might have positive impact on area`s infrastructure development, and also attract tourists and people from all over the city. Play-house design is driven by an existing urban surrounding, which is a combination of Soviet and Post-soviet architecture. While blending with its setting, the theatre also stands out as an accent and dominant element thanks to its scale and dynamic forms. A site layout itself works as a place for gathering and performing arts providing numerous plazas and staircases, which can be used as open amphitheatres. To separate the main performing spaces from a busy highway they are installed on a platform open to a public, which ensures a spatial continuity and creates places for recreation and other functions. A building volume is formed by a range of elements: an underground parking, two-storey platform and two blocks shaped like the inverted truncated pyramids connected by joint roof-amphitheatre. The platform houses the recreational areas, art studious for children and youth, the rehearsal halls, a library, a cinema, the cafeteria-bars and a souvenir shop. All functional elements of the platform are distributed around the atrium, which creates the entrees to the foyer zones situated on an upper level. The main auditorium with a capacity of 1350 seats is located in the one of the two raised blocks. It is designed to host diverse performances from plays, opera, and ballet to pop and symphonic concerts. A universality of the hall can be achieved by acoustic ceiling panelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; transformation.
