NATALY NEMKOVA EDUCATION
After finishing my studies at the Architectural Faculty in Belarusian Technical University I obtained 6 years of professional experience in different fields of architecture. At my last position I was a leader of master planning department in architectural studio, producing a variety of different kinds of projects. With my colleagues young architects we created a non-formal community monogroup, which was devoted to experimentation with future architecture, interdisciplinary projects and computational tools. To make a big step forward and gain more experience I moved to London to study in the Architectural Association School of Architecture Landscape Urbanism MSc programme. This programme gave me valuable knowledge of design approach based on going through different scales and deep analysis of the design territory. Critical thinking is a crutial part of Architectural Association theaching which in my opinion is essential for architectural design and thinking. Working with tight dedlines and ability to translate design ideas into visual assets working within international team are also the skills I obtained during my studies. My thesis work Shifting Arctic Boundaries looked at the developing of the arctic zone and conflicts and consequences it brings. After completing my studies I worked for Gustafson-Porter+Bowman(London) and currently I’m consulting GilesMiller studio(London) on architecture and Grasshopper+scripting. I was participating in exhibitions in Belarus and abroad including Leonardo, Museum’s nigth in Minsk and EASA (European Architecture Student’s Assembly), was acting as a tutor and organizer in local and international architectural workshops. If you are looking for a person who is a good team player with leadership skills that can think creatively and critically, who is able to look freshly and to prove design ideas by convincing drawings and visuals - do not hesitate to contact me! I am always looking for an opportunity to push the boundaries of the way we make urban and rural environment nowadays.

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COMPETITION WESTMINSTER, LONDON, UK Location:London, UK Design team and client: Gustafson-Porter+Bowman and Henegan Penn for Malcolm Reading Consultants Type: Holocaust Memorial Competition Size: 1200 m2 Project timeframe: 2016-2017 The design of Holocaust Memorial - Learning Centre is set to never forget the Holocaust. Visitors descend from the Victoria Tower Gardens through a series of thresholds and passages to encounter their voice of those who speak of past horrors. The Memorial itself is an ear, that connects visitors with the voices and testimonies of those who experienced the Holocaust. The memorial courtyard is focused upwards to Victoria Tower.

S A C L AY M O U L O N C O M P E T I T I O N PA R I S , F R A N C E Location:London, UK Design team and client: Gustafson-Porter+Bowman and Chartier-Corbasson Architects Type: Sports Valley Competition Size: 140473 m2 Project timeframe: 2016-2017 Saclay holds two worlds in one Park, one the rational organized world of sport fields, the other the fluid landscape of meadows and forests. The tension between the rational and the organic characterizes the Saclay Sport Park.Wrapping around the Sport Complex and leading up to the roofs, the landform provides spectacular look out points, and stepped terraces from which to observe the games played both in the park and in the buildings. Two interweaving routes crisscross the landscape; one fully accessible and direct, the other playful and indirect; a fun route for cross country runners and other park users who would like to experience the landscape in a leisurely, playful manner. A buffer landscape separates the park from the adjacent roads and residential developments mediates between natural park and urbanity.

CAFE ON THE BRIDGE RIVER SVISLOCH, MINSK Location:Minsk, Belarus Design team and client: NT-Project-Engineering for Bellini restaurant Type: Cafe Size: 50m Materials: wood, concrete Project timeframe: 2012-2013 (was not realized) Cafe on the bridge was designed in the historical center of Minsk on the river Svisloch. Both banks of the river are accomplished with cycle paths. The bridge is useful both for pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore, the shape of the bridge is formed by cycling radii. These radii form two triangles, seen in the plan. One triangle is the inside part of the cafe, and the other triangle is an open terrace.

SHIFTING ARCTIC BOUNDARIES A R C H I T E C T U R A L A S S O C I AT I O N L A N D S C A P E U R B A N I S M M S C This project looks critically to one of the latest colonization project on the planet - the appropriation of local resources and development of the arctic zone. For the outsider and newcomer this land may look empty. Which is not actually the truth - there are people that lived on this land for more then 5000 years. This touch upon a very challenging theme of indigenous cultures and the confrontation between contrasting notions of territory by the so called «western» thinking and indigenous thinking. The project intends to produce a designed mechanism, based on a variety of existing and designed physical boundaries, by which land management, the introduction of new land usages and their seasonal changing boundaries , can be accessed, built and negotiated by relevant local actors/people. Tommerneset peninsula in Northern Norway was chosen as a study area, where four new big ports developments are now planned and where anticipate disruptions in the historically Skolt Sami territory will need to be addressed for the foreseeable future

|SHIFTING ARCTIC BOUNDARIES |
| ACADEMIC WORK |
We created an application in processing sofware. This application shows the area claimed by different people and the boundaries of their land plots. When the application is running the boundaries of land plots are growing or shrinking, trying to reach their estimated size. Estimated sizes of land plots are defined by the actors, and can be changed in real time with the sliders.Actors can also adjust the ‘strength’ of the boundary - in the cases where boundaries are adjucent to each other.

SYNTHESIZER I N T E R A C T I V E I N S TA L L AT I O N AT E A S A 0 1 4 V E L I K O TA R N O V O , B U L G A R I A Synthesizer was built during two-weeks workshop at EASA014 Bulgaria (European Architecture Students Assembly). Syntesizer (or Syntezator from russian transcription) is dedicated to making a part of urban environment a kind of orchestra on which citizens can play interacting with it’s parts or just going through the space. Through the means of computational design we gathered input data and translate it into acoustic, visual and spatial transformations in realtime mode . We chose three arcs on the street in the city and transform them into three analogue musical instruments: metalophone, hapi drum and wooden drums. Every arc was also connected to piezo elements with electronic sounds, gathered from the city. The whole structure was made from recycled materials, found on the streets of Veliko Tarnovo. People could play analogue instruments and electronic sounds at one time. Some of piezo elements were installed into the pavement, and people can produce sounds and lightning, just moving near the arcs.
