How scaling up and down affects typology?
The task of the studio was to explore typological changes between scaled up ten times and scaled down ten times architectural projects. The program and function were left as in the case study - Yokohama International Passenger Terminal.
Transportation termanal
Any transportation terminal is, first, a place programmatically defined by the idea of Transition: from one means of transportation to the other, be it different vehicles carrying passengers or natural modes of locomotion, such as walking and swimming.
Typological transition
This also means that this Type usually appears in border-zones between two environmental mediums, where this transition is made necessary. Complex series of surfaces that gently curve and fold into a navigable inhabitable architectural topography were studied an applyed.
Case study Scale x 10
The Arc is envisioned for a future narrative seen as a possible development of Global Climate Change. In a scenario where raised ocean levels covered most of the Earth’s land areas, the Arc is a last effort for the survival of the human species in this planet. It houses most functions necessary for a society to thrive, such as urban areas—for housing and services—; leisure, sports, and cultural facilities; energy and food production; and artificial “natural” landscapes, such as beaches, mountains, and forests.
The Leisure Pier is conceived as a means of transition from one medium into the other: from dry land into the sea. Designed to provide safe access to the water in rocky coasts—that lack the benefit of a beach The very human scale and chosen functionality focus on the human body as the element being directly transitioned, in and out of the water, without the intermediation of vehicles such as boats. The users are provided with all they might need to facilitate this process, such as showers and changing rooms, as well as leisure program.

Coexistence of cultures [alternative Mediaspree]
YAAM community multi-purpose facility, 720 m2 Schillingbrücke, Berlin
Group academic project
Winter semester 2021/22
Project team: Felix Exton-Smith, Ömer Faruk Demir, Aleksandra Shymanskaya, Salimeh Rasouli
Arriving at YAAM feels like stepping out of normal Berlin and into a multicultural autonomous zone that is organised by principles of community and cultural exchange. To secure permanence in its current location, YAAM will need to become more financially sustainable and more open to new visitors and users. This project is focused on strengthening the commercial component of YAAM, based on creative production, as well as reintroducing the function of street sport which was central to the cultural mix at earlier incarnations of YAAM.
ACTIVE BORDER OF THE WAREHOUSE
In this project the Warehouse and a proposed refurbishment will make up the future programme based on the functions that the Warehouse has previously accommodated, such as various kinds of events includ-
skatepark
African art exhibition & talk
Night Hip hop music concert
ing live music, DJs, dance performances and art exhibitions, mixing them or separating by the new type of a flexible wall, which allows close or open The Warehouse to the parts of the site, creating creates a contiguous or private performance space.
Skateboarding
Workshop cloud
Structure
Functional organization
Market plaza
Historically present function
Site mediator Autoren
Flexibility of the perimeter wall
Interconnection
Spatial organization Street organization
Hierarchy of the structure
Shaped by surroundings ASSEMBLY
New structure was created based on the existing 6 m x 6 m grid and extended to the top, where every level adapts the grid according to its function presented there. Market floor in the middle has no perimeter wall, which makes it fully open to the surroundings and visually separate the existing solid structure of the warehouse from new architectural intervention. Workshop cloud floor at the top resembles continuous process of creation and allows to be the space for appropriation for the artists based on their needs or profile.

Die Entwicklung eines urbanen und nachhaltigen Stadtquartiers mit Wohnungen und öffentlichen Nutzungen unterschiedlichster Ausprägung auf einem Grundstücksareal mit historischem Gebäudeund Baumbestand im Berliner Bezirk Spandau nahe dem Havelufer. Meine Aufgaben: Grundrisse 1:50, Schnitte 1:50, Ansichte 1:50 + Treppenhäuser 1:20, Badplanung 1:20 und Balkondetail 1:20. Extra: Umplanung von Studio-Wohnungen zu den 2-4 Zimmer-Wohnungen. Beispielzeichnungen in Miniaturformat auf der nächsten Seite und können auch bei einem Vorstellungsgespräch gezeigt werden.
Gegenüber: Beispielhafte Zeichnungen von Haus 4, das meinen Teil des Projekts darstellte. Diese Seite, oben: Blick aus der Nachbarschaft. Vorherige Seite: Masterplan des gesamten Projekts in Berlin, Spandau.
Im Rahmen des Seminars Circular Urban Systems an der TU Berlin haben wir uns mit der Frage beschäftigt, wie innovative und zeitgemäße Technologien auf die aktuellen Gegebenheiten angewandt werden können, z.B. auf Projekte, die jetzt entwickelt werden. Die Wärmerohrsysteme der NASA, die für ihre Effizienz bei der Bewältigung von Wärmelasten in Weltraumumgebungen bekannt sind, können auch in Gebäudeheizungssystemen auf der Erde Anwendung finden. Die Wärmerohre der NASA können
in HRV-Systeme integriert werden, um Abwärme aus Abluftströmen zurückzugewinnen. Die Wärmerohre können diese Wärme effizient übertragen, um die einströmende Frischluft vorzuwärmen und so die Belastung der primären Heizungssysteme zu verringern.Die Wärmerohre der NASA können in Wärmepumpensysteme integriert werden, um die Wärmeübertragung zwischen dem Kältemittel und dem Heizmedium zu verbessern. Dadurch wird die Gesamteffizienz des Wärmepumpensystems verbessert.
SVART [self-sufficiency]
Off the grid, energy-positive, luxury resort Nordland ,Norway
Professional group project Autumn-Spring 2019/20
Project team: Pers Van Zandvliet, Wojciech Strzelecki, Katarzyna Świderska, Aleksandra Shymanskaya
Sustainable tourism industry near Svartisen National Park aims to elevate the attractiveness of that tourist region and to enhance the experience of living in close contact with nature. The futuristic hotel is being built using a holistic circular approach to next-level ecotourism, tackling the climate crisis from a variety of angles, enhancing education on environmental conservation. Additional features include a sustainable fish farm, water- and waste-management systems, and heat recycling from data centers. Svart will also have an organic greenhouse farm, where it will grow its own fruit and vegetables — enabling a farm-totable dining concept.

02.
To present innovative and climate-friendly facilities according to the highiest standards, part of the masterplan were studied separately and delived as a research-based documentation on each facility.
In this project I was working on particular facilities: viewpoints & activities, fishing spots, marina, spa center, health lab. Creating their functional and spatial layout, shape and connection with surroundings, 3 Models was done in Rhino and rendered in Lumion/Twinmotion. Visual documentation as well as presentations for investors was drawn by digital hand on Ipad as well as in Illustrator and layoted in Indesign.
