Hello!
Natalia Vladykina Service and interior architect
My architectural projects are designed with the sensitive use of natural resources and optimal integration to the environmental context for the benefit of users. Flow of users and their experience in the space, natural light, and orientation to cordial points, sensitive landscaping, high adaptability to contextual features are my design drivers. I pay most attention to planning, as good planning helps to organize people in the space, to separate or unite for different actions. My buildings are organisms with complicated inner structure and its organization helps their users to live healthy. In Aalto University I explore non-material values of spaces and tactile objects and it’s affect on human being, acting and thinking. Currently I am finalizing master’s thesis project in collaboration with the city of Espoo, where I apply service-dominant logic views in designing educational environment for high school. The project run by Education and Cultural Services in co-operation with Aalto University and University of Helsinki meant to develop flexible and affective environment to support learning process and overall well-being at schools.

Building site is located on the embankment of the Neva river in a rare for the city center green zone. Big amount of old oaks, being a unique case for such busy area effected strongly on the structure and plastic shape of the building. It perfectly fits to the natural environment. The project was designed to save almost all valuable trees. The territory of the complex developed as a pedestrian area, leaving sections are linked with a gallery. Vehicle access arranged to the underground parking from where residents enter private elevators and service staircases.

Watershed Research/ speculation/ illustration Watershed is the moment when things changed and the place where the landscape turned. It is the point of no return once the choices that were made could no longer be reversed. Greenland is a unique island with fascinating beautiful nature, a low density population and a variety of natural resources. Glacial recession is uncovering a land especially rich in metals and minerals. The recent finding of one of the largest concentrations of rare earth metals (used in most high-tech electronics crucial to our modern world) in the whole world in Kvanefjeld, southern Greenland has triggered multinational economical interest. Examples from other urban environments born around resource extraction sites show the environmental and social challenges that need to be addressed in a sensitive way that conserves both the ecological and cultural heritage of Greenland. The project is addressed the possibilities climate change processes cause in Arctic region; authors speculated on the Greenland landscape in the far future through the story and illustrations.

Housing estate is situated on the beauty spot in the coast of the lake and surrounded with forest. Special organic structure of the building fits to the natural landscape in the best way. Seven levels of the house reflect sharp difference in landscape height and divide home into separated common and private zones. The terraced house was designed to offer privacy to its inhabitants from the road with parking spaces altogether with the possibility to enjoy view of the lake on the other side through the large glass walls. Both private and common areas feature terraces so that it is just one step to meet with nature. Thanks to fortunate coincidence, most of the bedrooms catch pleasant Eastern sun.

The project is a redesign of the lobby and an experiment with the space for creative thinking for Finnish company Sponda. In our proposal we supported Sponda's priority in service contacts with customers and designed the lobby as the face of the company, to welcome visitors. The inner wall and the reception is well-seen through the large shop window, allowing to state the contact between the visitor and reception already from the outside of the building. A space for creative work arranged in a way that people from different departments can work comfortably both independently and in a team. We believe that ideas for innovation solutions may come with the cooperation, open sharing, unusual and informal atmosphere, experiments with the environment may seem to be risky, as well as all innovation ideas.

OloKerta Service and spatial design for library Helsinki. The project background was a merge of the three existing campuses of Aalto University in Otaniemi in the nearest future. This union brought the challenge of greater diversity of users in the library that will become the main library of the university. Simultaneously the role of the library and librarians is redefining. All resources of the library were going to be digitalized. Librarians became information experts and wish to share their knowledges and offer assistance. The process of learning shifts from books to people. These processes required changes in the perception of the role of the library. The process of project development was fascinating. We researched stakeholders through different methods of participatory design: invented an internet search for comfortable place for work and study, visited Helsinki libraries, interviewed students and staff of the library, invented a design game workshop to get insights from future users. The solution became a platform for new services located in the neglected basement of the existing building, flexible for users to learn from books, from people, from teamwork, media etc. The space which users can arrange differently adapting to their needs. This project was personally valuable, because I familiarizes myself with co-design methods and perception of users as a valuable tools for insights and ideas which was new. This knowledge changed the design process in this course and my design-thinking in general.

could be used by all parties. The existence of a space for interaction with the local community may enhance collaboration with university. The idea that environmental design and urban planning could assist in interaction between areas and communities was very promising and similar workshops were organized in other cities. In Tongji University campus the awareness of the university community of campus life was low and spatial and communication barrier between campus and surrounding neighbourhood was strong. This inspires to design the campus wall as an interactive interface.

The university campus is an ecosystem in the city with highest intellectual potential and younger population. The idea of seeding sustainable life principles in campuses could lead to global change.

The Regional Innovation Ecosystems workshop in Helsinki (2013) was a pilot project in a global sustainable development in Espoo region with a perspective of scaling in another locations. It was a part of T3 city planning project in integration of city zones Aalto University Otaniemi campus, Tapiola (residential area) and Kielaniemi (business area). In between Design Factory - an innovative platform of Aalto University, Startup sauna — business hub and Urban Mill, where urban development experts meet there is a yard that
The development of first smart and humanistic area in Brazil Parque Urbano e Intelligente de Gavea started with the transformation of the neighbourhood around Pontifical Catholic University campus. Built environment and spaces able to assist in building trust and communication with local community offering maintained leisure spaces and kids playground, beginning of solving safety issues with smart transportation stops, change poor education by opening access to campus. All projects aimed to identify values of exchange between campus life and surrounding areas and its communities, to find social connections between campus and local community that could inspire urban development. Workshops participants were multidisciplinary teams of students, instructors, representatives of authorities and enterprises.
