Consepts

Solar energy is a powerful natural source. Solar tiles were chosen for its ability to collect maximum solar energy and aesthetic appearance. Roof was oriented to the west as this cardinal direction providing the largest amount of light and energy.

Cedar wall nish providing visitors with a calming environment and give a feeling of country side. It is also improving building insulation, that was a necessary bene t with the designed amount of glass.

To reduce the energy assumption Library was designed with large area of the glass curtain wall panels. They were located on the southwest side of the building to prolongate the lighting day.

Green wall was partially implemented into design, to give an accent to the building. In this design it is also having role of the rain water harvesting system. It is further connected with the collector.

Conceptual Design

Kunik Tower Diomedes Island Border of Russia and USA Made by: Natalie Volkova

Diomedes Islands is a land located in Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska. Two islands are separated by water, international date line, and border of Russia and USA. Islands are generally granite rocks. The project intend is to unite these islands, countries and world. Project should have a signi cance for the mankind. It has to re ect the acceptance of human existence on the globe and eliminate any borders. The project involved site analysis, conceptual design development, and presentation boards preparation. 33

Interior View on Observation Level

CONCEPT STATEMENT Kunik is an ancient welcoming ritual of the indigenous people of Alaska and Siberia – Eskimos. It was generally held between family members and beloved ones. People were touching and rubbing each others noses and cheeks to feel their odor. Rediscovering their smell this way people felt they were home again. This custom became a base of my concept. Kunik Tower is located in between the Big and Little Diomede. It represents the “touch” of the islands, countries and people. The only way visitors can get there is by cable cars that rise from the aerial stations on the islands, to the tower. There are 5 levels of hotel, arrival station for the cable cars, restaurant and observation level, located on the top of the tower. To get to the aerial station there are funiculars available from the villages. Kunik Tower will allow visitors to experience the beauty of the land. It will make them touch the nature and nd a balance between themselves, surrounding and a world.
