The one minute rayon, reimagines post soviet urban design and planning through tactics of circularity and community engagement. The proposal aims at bringing back a sense of place and belonging to a forgotten district in Tallinn, with a focus on micro economy as a tool to re-en ergize and activate the local community.
one minute rayon
Lasnamäe is the most populous administrative district of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The district’s population is about 119,000. Local housing is mostly represented by 5–16 stories high panel blocks of flats, built in the 1970–1990s. The site is located between the intersection of two major roads, the road to Tallinn city centre, and to the airport. Due to the zoning in land-use most of the commercial and industrial areas are segregated and as a result many people have to commute by car to reach their place of work. The sprawl of housing of the former natural and agricultural landscape goes with a dramatic increase in the number of commuters from the suburbs to Tallinn.

The interventions are split over 3 scales of actions which are envisioned to occur over a span of 10 years. Beginning at the community scale (1 minute walk), smaller interventions begin early on such as the installation of the flexible pods which begin to activate the community and create a local economy. Scaling up to large infrastructure intervention in the mid term such as mobility changes and building of an elevated green link and new residential buildings. Starting from the community scale to impact the direct community and slowly scale up to enhance the entire district.

implementation of circular economy
To achieve a strong and sustainable community, we focus on 6 pillars of a circular economy (biodiversity, food, waste, energy, water and community) with the aim of creating jobs through each one of those. For example, some food would be grown locally creating jobs in the community farms, biodiversity will be improved through reforestation and also adding jobs in the plantation.

1 minutes walk
We start from the community scale by introducing the flexible pop-up pods that will serve as the first step to economy and community engagement. The temporary structure creates a playful environment which promotes social activity inside the courtyards of each building. The structure consists of a series of timber frames,a local material on – pods can be connected together to form a progression of spaces that can serve different purposes from community kitchens to fabrication labs.
On the block scale we re-purpose the former parking lots as grounds for the public interventions and the economy pods and create a buffer zone of greenery that would line the buildings and prevent any strong cold winds from entering the court yards. Then provide pathways that connect the different.

On the district scale the interven tions begin with the initiation of the community reforestation initiative in the buffer areas and the edges of the site. A green axis running across the site also begins to take form with dense trees defining the space. Next, car access to communities will be restricted to the block scale allowing vehicles to access and park around the edges of the superblock while reefing up the central spaces for greenery and community activities.
The economy and community pods are envisioned to operate in a circular manner, where organic waste from the community kitchen for example is used as fertilizer in a community farm. Meanwhile food from the community gardens would make its way to the community kitchen or on fresh market stalls to be sold back to the community. Recyclable materials from clothing shops could be re-used to build new things at the community fab lab. By establishing these circular relationships we ensure a more sustainable and self-sufficient ecosystem in the district.

From an initial 383,886m of empty monocultural land we are able to achieve a reactivation of space that has the potential to employ an average of 7,000 people. Populate a forest of approximately 30,000 trees. In footprint sense, this saves more than 4,000 tons of annual CO2 – A surplus that can possibly be sold to generate an income to be used back in the system.

Phoenix Project aims to promote urban vibrancy, by making use of morphological metrics. It mainly refers to updated plan decisions for 22@ District by providing all the layers of analysis, development and proposal for the radical change that awaits the area in the near future. Phoenix PobleNou promises an inclusive platform to create a communi cation channel between those who propose changes and those who will experience them in an urban environment.
poblenou
PobleNou is the innovative district of Barcelona and is developed under the 22@proposal. The next phase of 22@ reflects new challenges for the area that are going to be implemented through the next few years. Some of the main conclusions from the updated plan, which we will also highlight in this study, are the development of green streets, new buildings tackling social housing and new sectors expanded to a more green and circular economy.

“Rewilding” is a habitat conservation concept that increasingly draws attention to the public. The challenge is taken in the Luxem bourg context, where habitat fragmentation is a significant issue under urban sprawl and highway network expansion. Among natural habitats affected, wetland habitats are the most vulnerable ones.
December 2020 under the direction of: team: Alvaro Cerezo Carrizo, Arina Novikova, Dongxuan Zhu and Stefania-Maria Kousoula
conservation biology
“Rewilding” is a habitat conservation concept that increasingly draws attention to the public. However, the existing rewilding practices are often established upon binary views on ecosystems, such as isolating “artificial” from “the wild” or illustrating ecosystems as “services” to human “beneficiaries”. We aim to challenge these binary views by inviting other species to co-managing the trial fields: In the “core area”, the autonomy of other species is respected; In the “buffer area”, humans’ capability in living friendly with other species is valued and emphasized.

kids as human collaborators
We identify school kids in Luxembourg as our closest human collaborators. After the top-down initiation of our project, kids could stimulate bottom-up awareness by monitoring the whole process, as citizen scientists. Teachers are also encouraged to collaborate with other relevant parties, supporting kids and raising awareness. And once kids grow up, they themselves would be the advocates/decision makers for the new landscape they monitor and intervene. Based on the wetland corridors identified, we choose the pilot cities with the highest potential for cross-sector conversation.
From the previous simulation, we decide to scale down to the main wetland connectivity corridor, crossing central Luxembourg, between most of the pilot cities from our stakeholder map. Among the cities along this corridor, we choose Bertrange municipality as an example for detailed analysis. In the Bertrange area we identified the main stakeholders to be involved in our proposal, among which teachers from education institu tions, natural protection experts and land owners will be directly reached.
Essential Important Indirect
Introducing our vision of this territory, where beavers in Luxembourg does not simply appear in isolated reserves, but are actively engaged in changing the landscape of human society. With the adaptive intervention and monitoring from kids and local communities, we believe a more tolerant, non-binary coexistence could take place, with the human society been “rewilded”.

The intervention area is divided into core and buffer areas. The core areas are firstly identified through flood simulation using Caesar lisflood. With different iteration counts, we chose the most frequently flooded zones as core restoration zones. These lands are initially prepared by humans using the Beaver Dam Analog technique, along with tree protection techniques and planting new vegetation.
Through Circuitscape software we simulated possible animal movement in our area. In order to avoid severe conflict and at the same time increase the citizen’s awareness for our project, we allocate the trial fields at the periphery of Bertrange city along River Petrusse.
stages of implementation
After one year of preparation, beavers are reintroduced to the site, creating a complex wetland matrix that inundates part of the adjacent buffer zone. Then kids can plant in the wet experimental field the seed bombs wherever they want, while their access is restricted to the core area by notice and a row of plantings. The obser vation spots used as key thresholds for kids and visitors to observe changes in the core zone, whereas camera trapping provides better monitoring on buffer zone.

The aim of this project is to question the actual system of tourism and its future in a post-capitalistic world by making assumptions of what will happen in the next years. The challenge was to take the specific role of the Airbnb company proposed by the faculty in order to reconvert its failed business model after Covid 19. And to answer the main and most important question: How we can reconvert tourism in order to provide a beneficial layer to the city and its citizens?
By 2035, 1 billion people will be digital nomads. The nomads were the ones who were constantly travelling and looking for new resources as a community. And digital nomads today know where are the resources, but they look for the commu nities to be included in. They choose location-independent and technology-en abled lifestyle that allows them to travel and work remotely. And thus, they regret owning any commodity. Their main charac teristic is that they are constantly travelling for long periods of time, regardless desti nation.
From the previous simulation, we decide to scale down to the main wetland connectivity corridor, crossing central Luxembourg, between most of the pilot cities from our stakeholder map. Among the cities along this corridor, we choose Bertrange municipality as an example for detailed analysis. In the Bertrange area we identified the main stakeholders to be involved in our proposal, among which teachers from education institu tions, natural protection experts and land owners will be directly reached.
Here we found that the short termers are focused in touristic hot spots. You can recognize them perfectly: Passatge de Gracia, La Ramblas, Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou and so on.
For the long termers, which were so called the locals, they are more and more spread. Shows that the more they stay, the more they explore the city beyond the central touristic hotspots. Nevertheless, the center is center for all of the profiles.
short termers
The statal and local regulations also contribute to this issue. The PEUAT (Strategic Touristic Plan of Barcelona) establishes that for homes, apartment and rooms that have touristic licenses they are only allowed to rent a place one month or less. The LAU (Spanish Urban Leasing law) only allows to have a home contract for one year or more but also contemplates the possi bility of rescinding your house contract after 6 months. While in touristic accommodations, (such as hotels, hostels and so on) there is an opportunity to stay no matter its duration, for housing we have a void that doesn’t give you the possibility to have a home if your stay is from one to 6 months.
When nomads open the app they can create the profile and set filters that describe the person. These filters feed the algorithm to choose the proper community for them. The next step for finding proper community is to set 3 main criteria: price, duration and purpose of staying. Once the community has been found they can choose if they want to live in shared and non-shared space. They also can see other profiles of nomads inside the community. The algorithm makes the community constantly change that allows it to be dynamic and adaptable system
This will create Cities based on sharing. Public and private companies will invest in Barcelona in order to create shareable infrastructure for transport, communications, resources and common and private spaces. That will be managed by sharing platforms that will grant access to everyone and will create co-owning dynamics. It will also mean the end of profe sionalization because all people will become microoferents of the platforms.
The project reflects on how adaptable solutions on the waterfront infrastructure can help accom modate the demands of the location of Barcelona’s port. The design specifically focuses on the semi-fixed and moving elements on the water. These moving elements bring additional functional space based on the demand of a particular scenario. The main tool that helped to generate urban distribution planning was cellular automata.

The user can then also have an overview of their selected scenarios in order to narrow down their choices. After that the user go to their preferred choice. The scenarios are developed based on the existing configuration of the fixed cells and with that for example, the user can move the modules towards the areas with higher residential density , higher leisure densities or even interconnect all the islands or have the modules be placed around certain functions.

size of bigger islands
leisure density islands based on strength

In the end, this urban planning simulator can help the city to perform better on the key performance indicators by reclaiming some amount of usable area through the floaters. Then the temporal reconfiguration of these new functional spaces helps better improve the adaptabil ity for the different scenarios based on addressing both short and long term. The cities are becoming intelligent so the infrastructure has to become flexible enough to address the demands.

under the direction of: prof. Pertsev V.V. Extreme sports are becoming more popular by the day. This has led to recreational facilities such as extreme amusement parks to appear rapidly all over the world. As for Belgorod, an analysis of the existing recreational facilities of forests and tracks showed that they are mainly focused on short-term family vacations in the warm season, and there is practically no infra structure for extreme sports.
A new natural park “Murom Forest” has appeared in the Belgorod region. It is located on the banks of the Belgorod reservoir near the village of Solomino. The total area of the park is over 40 thousand hectares that contains huge natural reserve. At the first stage, 880 hectares will be equipped. The arrangement of the park has not yet been completed, but it is already possible to visit it and walk along the forest paths. To get to the park, you need to go to the Belgorod bypass road.

The water park is also divided into two zones: sports and recreational. In the sports area, visitors can enjoy water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, wakeboarding, windsurfing, and yachting. Recreational activities include fishing, boat excursions and walking routes above the water. Close by, there is also a restaurant with local cuisine.
The complex is also partly a kind of natural reserve where animals such as the European deer, badger, and gray heron are preserved. In order to minimalize damage to the existing ecosystem, were planned at the height of 5 - 7 meters above the ground in the forest part to keep the animals protected. Visitors can also see the process of feeding the animals in the feeders installed around the park.
The extreme park is located on the hilly part of the site. In this are, there are many sports facilities, such as an indoor ski slope, a toboggan slope, a skatepark, and climbing walls. As It’s open during all seasons, this section of the park is the most traffic-generating part of the complex.
Glamping is short for “glamorous camping.” The glamping park is a tent camp with the maximum level of comfort and a focus on good design. Two types of glamping are presented on the territory of the complex: forest glamping and an eсo village, where various types of ecological shelters are collected such as yurts, wigwams and tipies. Glamping by the water in a small house with a bathhouse, place for fishing and a beautiful view of the water surface is also an option.

under the direction of: Fedotova N.N Each university has its own character and its own history. While walking on a campus, students should remain inspired and joyful, so a variety of art objects are an integral part of the infrastructure for young people. The tower of knowledge has many meanings. T he main message contained in this sculpture of steel pipes is the desire upward but the ladder of self-development. The form itself refers to the works of the famous Russian engineer V. Shukhov.
The monument is located in the centre of the square, which ensures its visibility from the windows of each building. The paving pattern echoes the elements of the tower, giving the impression of its continuation on the plane. Moreover, in the direction of the main building there are benches that correlate with the round shape of the sculpture.

Emel’yanova E.A.Hiking is the preferred term for a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails in the countryside. Such kind of activity has becoming more and more popular today. That’s why people are interested in information about its history, innovations and challenges. Surprisingly, the number of places offering information and artefacts connected to hiking is fairly limited. Museum of hiking offers a wide range of different items related to the area such as old maps.
The main element of the interior are the ropes hanging directly from the ceiling, on which most of the exhibits are located. This makes the museum complex interactive immersing even those to the exhibition who were not as familiar with the subject matter before arriving. From each “pocket” a magnificent panorama of the Black Sea opens.
