Craftsmanship and technological knowledge that it brings with itself is the main topic of the research , which is conducted during the design process. Currently craftsmanship is appreciated mainly as cultural heritage with impressive, but
accessible only to small group of people functionality. Nevertheless its acumulated trough the centuries potential can significantly enrich the materiality of the bulgarian cultural heritage in the future. Architecturally speaking craftsmanship is at the core
of the already industrialized system which materializes the architectural idea for creating spaces. The chosen situation in the city of Veliko Tarnovo offers an environment rich with layers of cultural land craftsmanship knowl-
edge, located at the centre of a bulgarian region composed of towns, in which the craftsmanship is still alive and continues to develop - Tryavna, Troyan, Etura, Elena, Gabrovo.

18 19 The chosen situation of the project aims to adress several aspects. The place is on part of the riverfron of Yantra in order to create a cultivated public space and thus integrate the river into the urban fabric.
The closeness of industrial heritage was another desirable precondition which emphasises on the potentials of re-using buildings having been active in the decades of the socialist regime. Last but not least the complex is aimed to be as close as possible to the conceptual core and symbol of the craftsmanship in Veliko Tarnovo - namely the Samovodska market street, as to the old part of the town generally. The first phase of the construction of the complex is provded to be the cultivated park area, combining pathwalks for pedestrians and running, piknic areas, outdoor exhibition areas, children playground as well as a skate-park and as a logical answer to the natural preconditions of the situation - a viewing platform towards the river. There are three buildings, standing on top of the park on pilots, in which the Collective workshop functionally unfolds itself. The one n the higher spot of the terrain is the workshop itself- where the communal machinery is as wel as laboratories such as those for meterials research and development. Following the path from the workshop to the riverfront the library and exhibition-administrative buildings arise. The specific roof structures of the buildings in the complex are inspired by the characteristic image of the old town and the typology of the sloped roof- as one signyfying the personal home.
The Collective workshop - considered as a home for everyone who is interested in creating, inventing and working with materials is implicating multiple sloped roofs under which initiative takes place. figure 10 . atmospheric visualisation of a look from the gallery at the workshop building

The project is aiming to take the current status quo of Lusatia one step further, implementing a visionary approach. Prescind the overwehlmingness of current issues a focus of the design strategy are the qualities of the territory and the ways they can be involved into a long-term development concept. A main aspect of the Lusatia landscape are the huge ‘wounded’ from the coal extraction activities territories - the coal-mine pits. Currently they are impossible to use for agriculture, due to the eccess of acidic elements in the soil, which creates highly unhospitable growth environment for most edible plants. From the renewable sources of energy the one that fits the territory preconditions is chosen. The biomass is a energy source that has the biggest impact in terms of territory usage from all renewables. It involves planting huge territories with fast-growing species in order to fastly grow the material for energy production.The minepits are transformed into biomass fields and converting the former coal power-plants into biomass-plants. The concentration of attention in Lusatia region is currently focused on the negative aftereffects from the decades of coal-energy production. Nevertheless this period has also been an inevitable step, leading to technological and scientific achievements, which alow us to recognise the faults in our previous approaches. The project aims to explore and develop a scenario in which the advancements, left as a legacy from the coal-energy period, are further developed in order to counteract and solve current, global issues.

The area north of Cottbus is currently very isolated, regarding all activities that take place at the town and avoided as an unhospitable environment both for recreation and investment. The design proposal creates a strategy for reviving its aesthetical and structural essence by transforming it to huge biomass fields. In regard to the stage of already naturally achieved regeneration different types of vegitation planted are picked in order to not only be suitable, fast growing biomass producers, but also to be hypercaccumulators of the existing eccess acid elements in the earth. Hence the production of biomass is combined with phytoremediation of the fields as well as stabilisation of the distorted earth in order to ensure the possibility for agricultural or construction activities at the area after the three eight-year phases of development of the area, which the project implements. The stripes of unplanted areas in midst of the fields are conserved in order to monitor the process es of natural regeneration of the area as well as to create a corridor, directly connecting Cottbus and the Janschwalde area, converted to biomass power plant , biotech park and biotech industry development. The main goal is the complete integration of the stigmatised coal-energy production territories into the social, touristic, cultural and economical contexts of the area. One of the main advantages in the current situation is the accumulated scientific and industrial knowledge base. This is also emphasized on at the BTU university Cottbus.

and the upbringing of the children. Therefore they are the ones mainly concerned of the state of the plot into question - an inner yard, closed by apartment blocks, at the heart of the neighbourhood. This place has all the potential to become the gathering point of mothers and a playground for the children at daytime. Nevertheless its present state is not welcoming, to put it mildly. It is a place with a questionmark, and many controversial possibilities of development, considering the big number of people, concerned with its faith.
Romema is an orthodox jewish neighbourhood, situated in Jerusalem, with a very closed community and high density of inhabitance. Most families lead very conservative way of life, having up to 8 children and the clear differentiation between the life roles of the men and the women. The men are the ones involved in the public and religious life of the community, as their main occupation is to study the holy jewish book - the Torah and other religious literature. The women, on the other side, lead a domestic life, are mostly unenployed, taking care during the daytime for the order at home

The aim of the project is to deal with the two main problematics of the site - it solves the conflict between the community members and creates a space, that concetrates one of the biggest values of the community - the knowledge, making it available for the women at a way that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with their developed everyday life routine. The design accomodates the functions of a library - where the women can spend some time into the sacred world of the holy books, having their own space for this instead of being intruders into ones occupied by men and seminar rooms for lectures and additional couces. From urbanist point of view the building
Figure 5. Fragment
closes the gap between the apartment blocks, making a statement of the required by the residents privacy of the inner space. In this way mothers can easily leave their children unattended to play in the open, but at the same time protected from the outside playgrounds, for a while, having the opportunity to use this time for activities of their own. In case they would like to spend a longer time inside the library the building also offers a daily childcare center, where mothers can leave their children under the supervision of other women from the community for the time, that they need.
Being a collective space for the women of the community, the building also communicates an idea deeply set into the orthodox jewish lifestyle - the one for sufficiency and living in synchrone with nature. In the underground part of the building a collective space for the rainwater of the area is created. Using the centuries old method for water collections - via a cystern - the traditional approach to life of the community is emphasized, at the same time giving the water the status of the treasure that it is. The only sign for its presense in the building from the outside is a fountain, in the middle of which is planted a tree - a symbol of the uninterupted cycle of life in its primordially simplicity.

The gallery is situated in Sofia at strategical place, regarding the cultural life of the city. And as one, developing in a capital city it provides many opportunities for all different kinds of artists as well as at least such of diversity of audience. Furthermore the area is surrounded by many high education facilities and universities. More specifically the most prominent university that provides architecture education in the country is in the walking distance of only around ten minutes. This circumbstance provides an opportunity for creating a medium between the purely theoretical approach, implied in the university and the very practical one in the working space. The art gallery could provide a space for bringing students work to public attention in its very conceptual phase, which does not imply further realisation but still can envoke a reaction. In this manner the space can be an
experiment area for nouvel ideas of the students to be experienced and attitudes of the public to be explored. As well as it can go the other way around - the space to be used as a tool for provoking th e artistical side in students, part mentionably conservative education system, but working in an area that requires a lot of imagination for valuable results. In matter of urban connections it is an important communication point as well as one of the entrances to the biggest, central park of the city. Therefore the two main features that the building had to provide and were leading in the designing process were an easy access from all the dirrections, from which it could be aproached and an expressed connection between it and the natural surroundings that the plot provided.

The goals for creating the connection between the artificiality of artistic creations and the primarily origin of nature are leading into the design concept of space forming of the art gallery. With its sloping skate which highest point is directed to the forrest - the building shows its aim to open itself and provide closeness to the natureal atmosphere of the park. A connection with the park is continued by the alley, that goes trough it - a continuation of the outside exhibition space of the gallery, a transitional space for exposing art between the one spe-
cifically designet for the purpose and the public spaces with more utilitarian functions. Inside of the building the exhibition space i s divided in two levels but simulataniously joined by a double height space in the middle, which creates different types of spaces, that could be needed for different types of exponates. The full glazing of the most open part of the gallery once more establishes the connection between art and nature

The coffeeshop is aimed to be a comfort place, a harbour of calmness, rest and inspiration in the whirlpool of events that everyday life offers. The design proposal makes sure to offer all of the typically necessary functional elements of a coffeeshop - namely a spaceous bar, diverse sitting areas as well as an extra

premice - such for children play, for children to develop their physical and communicational skills via playing while the grown-ups take their time to drink the cup of coffe or tee, use an houh of cosy co-ofice environment or simply enjoy a relaxing conversation with acquaintances. Providing comfort and diversity for different tastes and needs three different sitting zones are differenciated - a casual one
with regular -height chairs at the centre of the coffeeshop, a stripe-shaped one adjacent to the glazed wall, whre one can use the high stool to drink their coffe while enjoying the view towards the streetlife. THe third zone is at the bottom of the space and provides comfort low seating for the ones that have taken the time to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with a book in hand.
The main material, used for the decorative arrangement of the interior of the coffeeshop is plywood, as contrast to the hardness of which the chairs and sofas are covered with soft upholstery - again using textiles as linen and cotton, made from natural materials.

The Architecture technology department in UACEG is occupied with the task to bring spatial and functional design closer to matereality by exploring different methods of construction technologies. The building in the project is a firestation, as the main goal during the design process was to understand and represent the specific typology and functionality of this type of buildings, since their requirements are very specific. The chosen structure for the admiinistrative part of the building, where are also the sleeping and changing rooms for the firemen is constructed from concrete columns and beams, supporting slabs from the same material. The axial distance is 360sm. as this creates the grid, in which the inner spaces are developed.
Figure 2. drainage plan
Figure 3. east facade
The garage for the fire trucks, due to its specific dimentions is with a different construction build up out of precast concrete elements - T panels, which step on columns, with an axial distance between them of 560sm. Added to the two main volumes are the ones of the fire tower, which is the higher volume in the whole building as well as the observation room, which is in a immediate closeness to the fire truck garage and with provided visibility to both it and the maneuvre space outside of it. This precondition is a necessity for a strict and flawless control of traffic of the fire station. This provides for trucks going out on alert are able to leave the garage without intersecting their trajectories with those of the fire trucks coming back to the garage

An old market finds its place in the centre of Sofia, just across its university for architecture. The function is really old - since decade and the structure even though not so old is in need of revitalisation. in previous decades in the time when Bulgaria was part of the Soviet block the market was a lively sociail point of the urban fabric. Recently however it has begun to lose this function both because of utilitarian and functional aspects not managing to answer current aesthetical and practical requirements. Primarily the market is simply not attractive enough, especially compared to the big market chains that surround it in the area, since they offer both bigger diversity of goods and more plesant shopping atmosphere. At the same time the market has undeveloped poten-

tials as a strategical position in the urban fabric and also from a cultural point of view, since it is build around a cultural monument - a centuries old wall, which was previously with a religious functions and now stands as a symbol of the market, reffered to by people as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The created structure gives and expressive appearance to the market, provides the needed comfort for people as well as adding up to its current area with a second level. The wall is the central part, where the structure is interrupted and a small square and meeting poind being shaped. Figure 5 . space-formation schemes
