ACADEMIC WORKS
Trade center
Trade center Type of project: academic Bachelor degree project
Food court
Grocery
Cinema
Night club
Trade center is located in Kyiv, Ukraine. The biggest influence on the construction and design of the center was the idea to create a bright accent near the crossroad of traffic routes between the central and southern parts of the city.
Cultural center Type of project: academic Master degree project
INHABITABLE BRIDGE
LOCATION
In this project inhabitable bridge is considering as a horizontal tower which integrates with the urban condition. It is proposed modular assemblies of self-similar, mass-customized components which integrate structure, skin, circulation, and program into a single and coherent system.
MOVEMENT
Project is located between Figueroa Street (West) Flower street (East) and Jefferson bolivar (South) in Historic South Central, Los Angeles. Structure begins its movement from the ground finding closest roofs of industrial buildings or parking lot. After this action structure cross freeway avoiding its surface and rich the final point on opposite site of freeway connecting two neighborhoods.

SMOKE INSTALATION IN BEIJING Smoke Path simulation using GrowFx in 3D Max
Creating ramdom path and esteblishing magnet
Specifying Path of each branch according to magnet object
The goal of this project is to design an installation for Beijing Biennale based on a natural process simulation. Studying the physical forces and defining rules to distribution of the smoke was the core of the project. The simulation of the smoke was done in three phases:
Increasing dencity of the third branch path
Creating smoke path along the smooth shape
The first phase was a physical simulation (producing smoke in different ways e.g. Cigarette smoke, Cigar smoke, fire smoke, smoke bombs, etc.) The second phase was to define rules of distribution, and which combination of the programs can simulate the pattern in the best way. The third phase was an actual simulation using 3D Max GrowFX and building a 3d model based on the 3D Max results.
Simulating smoke path using several shapes
LIFT. Campus in South Central LA
LIFT. The project of art campus is located at Crenshaw Boulevard in South Central, Los Angeles. The main goal of the project was to preserve existing industrial buildings and lift a new campus on top of them. The main idea was to create new quality spaces both for students and for people from the neighborhood. The decision to make this campus artistic was because of an existing experience of other cities for improving their neighborhoods by creating art districts. This campus consists of: Central Plant, Maintenance Facility, Child Development Center, Fitness and Athletics Center, Humanities Classroom Building, Production/Media Arts/ Fine Arts Building, Theatre, Library and Dining Hall, Student Services/ Administration, Science Center, Student Union, Job Placement and Campus Data Center; totaling 650,000sq ft. The territory is designed as a park to connect neighborhoods and diminish the impact of the existing industrial area. The idea of the park is to “invite in� and lead to new spaces and levels of the project. The park consists of 3 main squares that penetrate and lead consequently to each other. Numerous ramps lead to the second level of campus. The landscape of the second level is designed to provide access to the green roofs of the buildings.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS
The desire to “dissolve� the building in the natural environment dictated the wave-type bioforms. The adjacent territory will have a terrace deck with specific lugs for a more comfortable and intimate environment for guests. The prototypes of these lugs were yachts and multi-mast sailing vessels.
Conceptual proposal of organization of Solomenskaya square with the memorial and museum complex "Serve the people of Ukraine� Kiev, Ukraine. The museum devoted to the memory of perished police officers is located in front of the academy National University of Internal Affairs. One of the most important conditions was preservation of the grounds for parades and academy needs. The museum is connected to the academy building by an underground passage. The museum includes conference halls and lecture halls for students and guests.
