Name: Exhibition hall Year: 2009 Status: student project This is a little exhibition space about 300 sq. meters. The building is an interesting exhibit itself and thus attracts visitors into it. In general the space is suitable for temporary exhibitions and performances. It could be a fashion show or a secular night. This is a space for for those who takes a proactive stance and who like to be modern. Twisted form of exhibition hall is made from identical triangles. The building overhangs upon the sea coast. The console is 16 meters length and is held by a solid spatial framework. Frame also shaps the interior of the pavilion. His protruding lines create a perspective Screw-funnel. The whole interior is executed in neutral tones, in opposed to its dynamics. And the main feature: light apertures are aligned only in direction towards the sea, revealing a panorama of almost 180 degrees. When looking toward the mainland, on the contrary, there are no visible window.

iHouse or a house with movable windows 2010 student competition project Tim Shapkin Liza Brilliantova

The house for Steve Jobs. In general the architecture of the house is very simple and laconic as well as the Apple production, so some of you would understand the name of house owner immediately at first sight. By the way, not many of people know why the apple is bitten. Bite sounds like a byte, so we can see just elementary play of meanings, which nevertheless predetermined one of the most memorable symbol in the world. There is an outdoor balcony in the place of bite in our project. But the general idea of the project is ability to move and create windows, architecture is not so important here. Theoretically it’s practicable project and the basic technologies already have been invented. Everybody has first-hand knowledge of Apple’s comfortable interface. Iphone as a basic example is very comfortable product because of its unique opportunity of working interface. You can open images, turn over the pages, zoom in and all of it with help of only your fingers. Thereby the idea of iHouse is quite similar. You can open window everywhere you want, - just put your fingers to touchpad wall. You can also enlarge or move windows, so it’s an increased analogue of iphone, Outside wall of ihouse is a big media screen which is made of smart glass and divided into pixels. Smart glass – is a composite of glass layers and different chemical materials, that change the optical properties. We use electrochemical smart glass in our project, which is non-transparent in the normal state. But if you energize it the glass rapidly changes its properties and becomes transparent. It can also change the colour. In general every pixel is autonomous unit – it works independently of other pixels. Consequently we have enormous screen that can be transparent, not-transparent or have any reflection. 6

Connection of screen and smart glass gives a lot of interesting possibilities to its user. Just imagine your beginning of the day: you wake up in the morning, get out of bed and don’t raise the blind or jalousie but only pass your hands over the wall and create window of a new day. To create intimate space you can delete your window whenever you want. Everybody have forgotten what is it – traditional window opening In this house. It’s possible to change appearance of iHouse depending on mood and occupation of its owner.

The first example – the facade clicked with the mood. Just image or animation

The second example – status facade. It shows the occupation of iHouse owner

The third example – «chameleon» mode. The house merge into the environment. Very interesting effect of visual sensation. Windows just hang in the air

Name: Sporthotel Year: 2011 Status: student project (Hannover university) The hotel locates in south Bavaria near the border of Austria. The place is named Winklmoosalm which is a alpine meadow on the south slope. The project represents intermediate state of architecture and landscaping. The hotel gradually grows out of slope and smooth curves merge with the hill. So the body of hotel has a minimum influence on existing natural landscape. Artificial gorge visually represents entrance and directs people inside. Through the narrow passage the visitor enters in full of light atrium with a lobby and a reception. This space contrast between dull corridor and a breadth atrium makes a wow-effect on each visitor. From the lobby you can get into the spa area, a rental zone and of course go up to the rooms. Floors above are providing amazing views of the Alps. There is a restaurant, bar and much more. At the top of the hotel there is an open terrace where the alpine cows graze. 8

Name: Blooming facade Year: 2011 Status: student project (Hannover university) The task was to create transformation space in a little room that is only 3300x5000 mm. All the transformations were moved outside, to the facade. The conception originates from thoughts about comfortable space climate to live all the year round. In winter there is a need to isolate themselves from the cold. At contrary, in summer, everyone tries to be open to the world. Thus, the highest demand of transformation in the house is in shifting of the outside wall. This idea is extrapolated at the big house of a cellular type. In winter the cells are closed but transparent. When the spring comes some of the cells begin to bloom. As more the weather is getting comfortable, as more open burgeons on the facade there are. The facade transformations occurs by origami principle. Electric actuator moves vertical casement elements around vertical axis, and they pulls the rest elements. Axis of other elements in case of thickness is movable. The folds are composed of a steel frames with attached glass 2 cm thick. There are steel cables attached to one of the folds and acts as barriers. Cables wounds in a winch located indoors. Winter

The house on the roof 2011 International competition Tim Shapkin Andrey Pavlov

One of the competition terms was to locate a house over the shelter roof. The building includes offices and showroom for the company that sales a wooden houses. The appearance should represent the construction possibilities of the company. The simplicity of the body balances with complexity of the skin. On the vertical load-bearing elements are mounted wooden leafs at a different angle, similar to blinds. The angle of the leafs skips the morning sun into the office but avoids the visual contact with passers. The showroom at contrary is open by the leafs to the street and closed to the day sun. The elements of frontage altogether make a moirĂŠ-like effect.

Facade structure diagram

Name: Đ?annover bus station Year: 2011 Status: student project (Hannover university) Based on the existing transport scheme of the buses needed to come up with canopy, saving potential passengers from rain, snow or sun. The whole structure is a space frame suspended on supports. There is no rigid connection between the supports and hanging frame but cables and membranes, tightening it in different directions. Thereby the required level of immobility is achieved. As the membrane is used opaque synthetic fabric. Fabric tensioned the way that can effectively collect water to gutters along the supports. Geometry membrane protects from the rain and at the same time â&#x20AC;&#x153;breathesâ&#x20AC;?, letting the light in. At the top of the fabric, there are printed solar panels. Along the perimeter of the canopy there is diode light belt. 14

Name: Parking for 300 cars Year: 2011 Status: student project Parking typology provides an opportunity to make some experimental work with facades. The space shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be closed, but representative in a lively town. Permeable shell has a function to protect the cars from overheating. The diamond-like structure of the shell is 40cm depth. The idea is to make a big picture through pixels of the same type. As a little pixels appears anodized aluminum panels with holes. There are only 4 scales of the holes that changes density of the shell and smoothly makes an abstract image. It was made a parametrical script to generate a facade based on various pictures.

Name: Lightcube Year: 2012 Status: realized The lightcube is an installation for a festival â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catastropheâ&#x20AC;? that took place near Odessa in Summer 2012. The theme of the festival was connected with the apocalypse predictions 2012. The Cube itself looks like as if it was hit by a meteor rain at judgment day. But the most interesting things are happening inside. Main role is played by the sun, which creates a mini-performance with light during a day. Sunlight penetrates through many quaint holes. At different times of the day it forms sunbeams of definite shape on the floor. Thus there ere appearing various pictures, which tells the story to the viewer about the catastrophe and the man. The picture effect occurs because of using of double skin facade from plywood. Both skins allow sunlight to pass through the wall at the proper time. At the time of the picture changing one skin overlaps the other and makes the light pour only where it is needed. The Holes were calculated carefully. Calculation of the shadow of the walls was made using parametrical script. To write the script it was necessary to study the laws of the sun motion across the sky. Script manages a day of the year and a latitude of the calculation site. 18

Name: Multiplex cinema center Year: 2012 Status: student project Folded bright concrete facade creates a positive association among visitors. The image of the theater curtains, veil or tablecloths are primarily waiting for something new, whether it is performance or tasty food. The filling corresponds the outside shell. There are premiere films, entertainment and restaurants inside. The function is evenly scattered within square volume of the multiplex. A laconic geometry of the building balances the complicated facade surface. The cinema rooms are hanging around the lobby and forming a quaint canyon inside. To reach the necessary cinema room the visitors use hanging gangways that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clutter canyon space. For better orientation, each room is visible from any point of the lobby. The main public directions are represented by the floor pattern which is a kind of thermal map of movements inside the multiplex building.

New vision of St. Petersburg 2012 International competition, 3rd place Shapkin Tim, Mikhailov Nikita.

The site is located in old town of St. Petersburg between river Fontanka and Vitebsky train terminal. There is many existing objects inside the area: City Hospital, Military Medical Museum, a number of old tenements under state protection, a couple of business centers, and most importantly, the old powerhouse. The project proposal is to create a pedestrian street between two large city nodes - Sennaya square and a square in front of Vitebsky rail terminal. The pedestrian route is laid along existing street and bridge, continues trough the archway and becomes a new public space in a new neighborhood. On both sides of the street appears big porous structure which is a mixed-use building with apartments, offices, shops and one Kindergarten. Through the pores which are 15x15 meters breadth a housing estate gets fresh air and sunlight. This structure with openings is an allusion of well-known narrow courtyards of old St. Petersburg. That approach secures identity of the city in a new project. The main advantage of such porous structure is a big population density meanwhile low-level people-friendly building. This two qualities are perfectly suitable for old cities. 22

Name: Мulti-storey residential building. Year: 2013 Status: Bachelor thesis (MARCHI)

• •

Bachelor thesis includes two parts. The first part is urban planning of a residential area and the second part is a detailed design of a residential building in this area. The site is located in St. Petersburg in Petrograd island. The Karpovka river divides the area into two pieces. The residential area plan is based on following principles: • Required amount of Green public places • Size of blocks are similar with old town • Most of necessary infrastructure is within 10 minutes walk • Shops and offices on the ground floor • Connected network of streets which disperses traffic • The streets are relatively narrow (20 - 25m) and shaded by trees. This slows traffic, creating an environment suitable for pedestrians and bicycles. 24

In St. Petersburg there are zoning laws. The maximum allowable height of the site is 28 m on the waterfront and 33 m in the depth of the block. At one corner of the block there is a need for a predominant building. Therefore at that corner the frontage declines in depth and reaches its maximum 33 meters height wherein the zoning law isn’t disturbed. As a result the building gets curved surface of spectacular frontage.

Underground parking for residents Direct sunlight in all apartments (related on russian standards)

The window openings are changing as far as facade wrap extends. On the vertical section of the facade the window grid is simple and strict. On the other side with the increasing of inclination of frontage the windows are changing it’s scale and protrusion. This technique expresses the principle of gradual response to environmental conditions around the building.

Berezhkovskaya 20 redevelopment 2013 Liral group Krimov Michael, Gorjainov Alexei, Tim Shapkin (Arch-group)

The territory was used to be as chemical factory until 90-s. Now it is a big 26 hectares area rental buildings. The task was maximum renovation of existing structure, minimum new construction. The reconstruction project is designed for the medium term without deep intervention. Berezhkovskaja 20 at the moment is a collection of different style, texture and size of buildings. Among the many unremarkable buildings there are several of architectural value. Besides there were remained industrial artifacts - tanks, heating mains, pipes. All of these objects we save. We offer to turn the entire site into a high quality humane environment. Besides measures for restoration and reconstruction we decided to drown the industrial area in greenery. The main element of improvement becomes green street that runs through the entire site. The function depends on existing characteristics of buildings. There were formed several functional clusters in the area. In the west appeared mainly business cluster in the center - the hotel cluster, in the eastern part - creative cluster. Particular attention was paid to functional filling the ground floor. All existing buildings on the site were carefully studied and classified by type. Each type corresponds its recommendations about redevelopment. 26

Name: Melnikov house monument Year: 2013 Team: Michael Krimov, Alexei Gorjainov, Tim Shapkin Melnikov House is one of the most striking examples of the fate of architecture monuments in Russia . He needs a repair for a very long time. Property issues relating to it are confusing and intractable. We propose not to wait until the situation will resolve by itself with the destruction of the house. To do this, We offer to carry it into a major world museum and exhibition center for 499 years of rent under the obligation to restore it and open it as a museum. On the Melnikov house site, instead of a monument of architecture, we propose to create a monument to architecture. This is a negative, emptiness, a mask of the house. This is inverted notion of architecture. The whole area around this void filled with concrete up to the full height of the building standing here. The entrance was carried out through a narrow corridor in the thickness of the concrete. The whole space of the Melnikov House is a courtyard where every detail is identical to the initial volume of the building. This is a fossil , the memory of a past age. Concrete block reliably protect the memory for years - there is nothing more to break down, deteriorate, grow old .

The architectural solution of the facade is a smooth mirror 30 meters high and 395 meters long. Rectangular mirror plane grows out of the ground at the border of the future park. The plane of the facade reflects and doubles the environment of the museum: park, trees, pavilions, etc. Mirror plane is a symbolic boundary between the ordinary world and the world of art. Forthcoming person sees himself and environment reflection. This look at ourselves, this change in perspective is preparing habitual visitor to the perception of contemporary art. At the same time facade completely hides technological hypermarket wall, which is located behind the museum. Entrance to the museum is organized in such a way that the visitor first goes along the glass parallel to the facade. Due to the gradient the mirror glass, outside there is an effect of gradual dissolution of the person in the building and in the reflection of the park. The internal structure of the museum consists of independent functional units, located in the free 30 -meter atrium. These volumes are arranged in such a manner that would provide the most convenient and, thus, the use of multi-functional rooms. The central atrium of the museum is a bright indoor space where the individual volumes of the exhibition halls, technological and other spaces enter. Multilevel space with spaces of various scales provides maximum opportunities for individual approach for exhibiting of contemporary art. The central atrium is also an exhibition space, which can be used for exhibiting works of art of any size. In addition, it can be used as a space for performances, video art demonstrations, lectures, etc.

Invisible awning 2014 International competition Michael Krimov, Alexei Gorjainov, Tim Shapkin, Vitali Verbitski Consulting: Arup Name: Year: Status: Team:

The existing awning spoils the original idea of a facade designed by an architect. It destroys tier system of architectural plans which is the hallmark of Stalin-style skyscrapers. From the front view of the building (the main view for arriving guests), the awning hides an essential element - a majestic portal over which the entire facade of the building should be seen, but it is not visible. A new awning should not repeat this mistake, so it should not block the upper part of the portal and the rest of the facade. The best solution of this situation is the lack of any awning. The idea: The protection against precipitations is more than needed. However an awning should be invisible. This is possible through the use of an air awning. In three places above the doors we will make special slots through which air will be supplied under pressure, creating an invisible barrier against precipitations (like industrial air curtains ). Ventilators switch on only when it rains, snows or hails, and their power changes automatically depending on the intensity of precipitations. The result: We return the true look to the historic building without using any modern elements.

Scripting Project: Blooming facade Year: 2011

Project: Multiplex cinema center Year: 2012

The script provides a visualisation and analisys of casement elements movement. Due the script it became clear to make certain axis movable along horizontal plane.

The script allows to generate cinema halls accordingly russian standarts. There are many parameters including amount of seats, slope level, row curve and more.

Project: Lightcube Year: 2012

Project: Chamber hall for 200 people Year: 2011

The script makes possible to analize shadow anywhere in the world. The parameters are latitude and time of day. Via script there were created peculiar holes in the wall that throwes some sunbeam pictures on the floor.

The script analizes vector reflections from sound source. Besides you get some information about sound travel time until seat area.

Project: Insolation calculating Year: 2011

Project: люulti-storey residential building. Year: 2012

In Russia there are strict insolation standarts for a new construction. Every flat should became certain hours of direct sunshining. The script provides to calculate this hours in every point in residential area.

The script distributes windows openings along facade surface. There are two stages: regular windows grid and chaotic offset windows structure. Between them appears a graduate transition.

Project: Parking for 300 cars Year: 2011

Project: Invisible awning Year: 2013

The script works based on bitmap picture. As a result appears 3d diamond structure shell with different grade of density.

The script calculates raindrop trajectory after airstream pressure. There were made some studies before scripting for understanding about raindrop phisics and behavior. The initial data includes rain and wind velocity, air stream attenuation and much more.
