INTERN (September 2017) Kyiv, Ukraine I was engaged in a large residential project, more specifically: facade design and cooling/heating distribution in the apartments. My second responsibility was to work on the postproduction of the architectural visuals.

Sergiy Makhno Architects

I have founded a jewellery brand with a focus on parametric and minimalistic design in 2019. I create 3D models of future jewellery using the skills gained during my architectural studies. The 3D models are 3D printed in wax and afterwards cast in gold and silver. CDD Jewelry allowed me to get insights into business as well as the ways of creating strong stories behind the design and unusual concepts.

SKILLS

I have been a chair of the Ukrainian Society at the University of Manchester. My role was to organise events and gather people for various activities and collaborate with international al societies at the university. This opportunity helped me to gain experience in group work as well as being responsible for given tasks and meeting deadlines. I believe that socialising with people allows individuals to listen to others and take everyone’s opinion into account which is essential for an architectural career.

My interest in smart architecture leads to further study in this field. I have gained a basic knowledge of smart/responsive cities. I believe that connecting citizens with the process of creating architectural proposals should be a key for future urban development.

Circulation

The building accommodates 3 entrances: Stairs, entrance for exhibition pieces (storage), main (visitors). Private exits are on opposite facade to the main entrance; therefore, visitors are not meant to see the way building is maintained.

Daylighting

Grasshopper solar radiation simulation was used for given site to identify appropriate areas for building (max. amount of natural daylighting).

Glazing

Glazing is mostly around west facade to maximise heat, solar gains and natural ventilation rate using operable glazing. West facade is also open to large open space which can be used for greenery (e.g. small park).

2 First:

The size of the museum was increased by adding floors 2 and 3. More exhibition space, library and small lecture theatre were added. This was done due to a lack of space dedicated to an exhibition in the previous iteration. Museum requires various secondary/supporting areas such as cafe, office, storage etc. which took almost 60%. This concept of the building provides the necessary amount of space for both exhibition needs and areas required for users’ comfort and security.

Design

Structure. Facade.

1. Renders represent an effect of the facade system on the interior space. The direct light impact on the area is decreased; therefore, the interior is well lit while levels of glare are minimised due to the floor and ceiling finish. 2. The lightweight structure of the building minimises the heat and decreases the cooling demand. This strategy guided the design due to climate conditions (dry desert climate). 3. The bottom left render is an example of afternoon light accessing the interior. The chosen repetitive pattern of the perforation represents the knit pattern which is proved to increase the overall mental satisfaction of the user. 4. Quartize stone is used for perforated panels due to its’ exceptional sustainability rating (LEED Gold rating) and overall performance (moisture control, decreased heat gain and conductivity)

Work experience I have selected several visuals of the projects I worked on during my internship at SHL. Unfortunately, most works were not published since I worked in the concept development department (on competition projects). I have worked on public projects such as museums, city halls, office buildings. I used different software: Illustrator, Photoshop, Autocad, InDesign, Rhino, Velux, Grasshopper.

Type : group projects Programme : mostly public buildings Scope : conceptual design stage Year : 2018-2019

Work Experience

I have worked on my first competition project from the start until the booklet print for the client. I have been working on both site analysis 2D and 3D modelling as well as postproduction of the technical drawings.

Architectural Intern at Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects

I have learned the process of project development in both concept stages and programme/structure resolving. All presented work is a part of the final booklet and each piece mostly or only done me.

1. Urban diagrams I was involved in urban diagrams creation to explain the rela tionship between the city and a project. The main software used for this work were: Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, VRay

2. Structure and Ventilation

3. Solar radiation study

Diagram-like interpretation of engineer’s work.

I have built a unique model for solar radiation analysis which was used in VELUX software. The study was oriented on understanding interior comfort, especially on office area. The target was Daylight factor 2 for all employees

5. The winning project The project on the left is an office renovation project in Fukuoka Hakata. The task was to create a new facade strategy with a new entrance concept while preserving the exciting primary structure. I was working on the project with the architect and Associate Partner. I have created 3D iterations of the facade following the guidance of the other team members, as well as bringing my own ideas. I have also contacted the commissioner in Japan with weekly updates on the project. When the design was chosen, I have worked on the post-production of the renders. The project was chosen as a winner among the other submissions and is to be completed in 2024.

4. Modelmaking I was engaged in various modelmaking processes for MG+ Cityhall and school projects in the Netherlands. I have worked extensively on the MG+ model from 3D modelling and 3Dprinting parts of the building as we ll as assembling the model.

Green Dip Green Dip project required extensive research and resulted in “The Green Maker”. The tool helped to create green strategies in everyday use. The instrument consisted of a tower, interior and block scenarios. The outcome was calculating the influence of “Green Dip” on selected cities.

The green maker Interior example

Tower example

1. The plants are selected based on the biome (for exterior use) or based on interior comfort (for internal use).

2. The elements are chosen based on the placement and requirements of the user and/or their efficiency in a particular climate.

3. Sun analysis is performed for interior space based on position/size of openings and elevation above the ground and climate.

4. The plants are chosen more specifically due to the amount of sunlight hours in the space and can vary depending on the position in the space.

5. In this example, various types of plants and elements were used based on sun analysis.

6. This example shows the maximum possible placement of plants within the space and the production of oxygen.

Bridge design The site for the design project is located in Rotterdam outskirts. The particular site was chosen due to the missing connection and the need to connect two banks for better circulation of residents. The particular bridge structure aimed to blend with surrounding nature visually. The idea of "natural feel" also guided the choice of materials.

Aesthetics in sustainable architecture The project aimed to deal with two problematic aspects: an arid climate and housing for the elderly. Both active and passive strategies were used to deal with weather and sustainability; the issues of the elderly were considered on different scales and aspects. The shape of the building was adapted for natural ventilation ( positioning of windows higher than usual to allow chimney effect) and energy production (such as creating a specific shape of the roof that maximises the efficiency of PV panels)

SAFETY

INDIRECT-LIGHT

• Safe social environment • Natural protection for the house

When designing for the elderly, light becomes a crucial element. With age, the sight-ability tends to reduce, therefore the environment needs to be adequately illuminated. Moreover, exposition to sunlight is essential for health-related reasons. On the other side, direct sunlight might turn out to be a problem, especially in Las Vegas, where sun radiations are very high. To solve this problem we opted for an indirect illumination strategy. The interiors will get indirect light both form the top windows and the courtyard, which will be shaded with lamellas, to create a liveable outside area.

Temperatures have risen by 5.76 F. since 1970; no other areas in the US are heating up as quickly as Las Vegas. By 2050 the number of heatwave days in Nevada is projected to increase from 15 to 44 days a year. The number of days per year with a temperature over 40 degrees C is expected to rise to 106. More than 70 000 people living in Nevada are especially vulnerable to extreme heat, being the elderly the majority of this group.

MOBILITY

STEAMER-AIR The summer air is getting steamier as the dew point temperatures rises, amplifying the sense of discomfort produced by high temperatures.

• One-story house with no vertical distribution, direct access to street level • Wheelchair friendly environment • No change in floor level • Motorized mobility chair accessible (and possible storage area) • Handrails to ease mobility around the house

The roof shape has been defined according to solar analysis. The parabolic shape is chosen due to high efficiency for both its solar energy collection and adaptability to passive ventilation strategy. Consequently, for construction-efficiency, the shape is rationalised into multiple plain surfaces, 30cm wide each.

Height of 1,5 meters allows relatively high radiation levels in both parts of the building without overheating.

Final design

Visuals and drawings

High-rise culture The assignment focused on creating the urban design of the cluster and designing a high-rise housing project. The building should house a particular target group (derived from the research) and adapt the plan for this specific group. On the other hand, the project aimed to visually and programmatically connect to neighbouring clusters and reflect the overall idea of Sluisbuurt.

Type : individual Programme : dwelling + public plinth Scope : design Year : 2019

Site and concept Urban plan from municipality

TOWER 1 PLINTH The unit combines both public and housing programmes. The ground floor is focused on commercial activities such as restaurants, small businesses and supermarkets. Restaurants are located to the edges of the unit in order to introduce the view towards the canal and the park.

Most of the space in this unit is dedicated to the library; this location was chosen due to its close proximity to the university building. Public facilities such as restaurants and bars are located on the plinth to draw visitors to “second” street.

The unit focuses on educational facilities and includes elementary school and daycare. The setback on the last floor of the building can be used for exterior programmes and activities. Moreover, the children can easily access daycare facilities after school day without leaving the building.

The unit is mostly focused on the e n c l o s e d programme such as parking and supermarket as this unit is bordering with a busy road. Moreover, housing (social houses) are located at this unit. The housing is situated in the unit to have a nice view of the park.

Strength :

1. Proximity to the university 2. Public park within the cluster (the only park focusing on sports within Sluisbuurt) 3. Elementary school 4. Main transport connection between Sluisbuurt and other parts of Amsterdam

Updated urban plan

How strengths are transformed into design :

1. Tower 1 connects to the university via public bridges 2. The park is changed in shape to fit with updated cluster geometry 3. Elementary school is updated by adding daycare 4. Car and bike parking are facing the corner with a transport connection.

Concept

Community creation and creativity inspiration The ways of addressing typical disadvantages of social spaces in high-rise over low-rise development as stated by CTBUH in 2014. 1. Horizontal access

2. Space for participation and hobbies

3. Individuality/expression of the house

4. Adaptability

Where creativity happens :

5. Hierarchy of spaces

1. “third place”, environments that separate from home or work where people gather and, more importantly, collide. (Ray Oldenburg) Create community Share knowledge and ideas Showcase the creation to the public

2. “The collision that happens when different fields of expertise converge in shred physical space.. that’s where the true sparks fly.” (Stephen Johnson)

Various types of shared space were created within the tower to meet the reuiqrement of hierarchy of space as well as community creation principles as seen in research.

Facade concept

The Hood

1. Public plinth

2. Large shared space Future residents of the Hood have already passed the first few steps of the Maslow’s pyramid: physiological and safety needs are covered in most buildings of Amsterdam. However, every individual is willing to be a part of the bigger whole – society; become better than they were yesterday and be respected by others. These steps can not be made without being part of the community. The main aim of the Hood is to provide residents with various ways to communicate by creating various spaces where they get to know others and themselves. To achieve this, two types of densities from Richard Sennett’s book were analysed: 1. Football density (the number of people passing by a fixed spot) 2. Sessile density (the number of people who stay in the place for a longer time) Football density would be always influenced by time of the day or external circumstances, such as people passing through the lobby after the workday. However, “sessile density” is a choice of the resident and this number can only be high if programme and architecture of the shared spaces meet the needs of people. The concept of tower is step-by-step socialising: neighbourhood – tower – Sluisbuurt. There is a gradient of shared spaces introduced in the tower: shared spaces per neighbourhood (4-8 apartments), large shared spaces for work or study (3 per tower) and public plinth where residents blend with visitors of the Hood. This allows residents to gradually get to know their neighbours and afterwards starting to communicate with residents of the whole tower.

Building engineering The project dealt with the existing hospital building. The aim was to improve interior comfort and energy by renovating the facade. The facade was renovated following the principles of an energy-efficient facade, while the HVAC system was changed to meet the users' requirements.

Renovation strategy: 1

- Increase interior comfort of the user - Minimise ebergy consumption while increasing energy production using passicve and active strategies

Existing balconies to be removed, and material can be reused. The balconies block (1) an extensive amount of light from the interior space.

The concrete facade should not be demolished as it does not affect the amount of light penetrating into the space too much (3). However, the demolition would be time and money consuming.

A programme that requires clean air and can not use air from natural ventilation is moved to the left part of the floor plan while programme such as open space office area and common area is placed along the right part of the plan.

Rotating elements

NEW 1. UFAD 2. Exhaust air outlet

1. Light colour of ceiling material allows sunlight to be reflected into interior. 2. While shades are open, the views are open to the outside. 3. HVAC system cools the interior using underfloor air distribution. 4. Concrete slab is cooled down by interior concrete mass. 5. PV panels rotate to maximise solar gains and therefore energy production.

1. Flaps are open at the top and bottom of the double facade to allow natural ventilation. 2. Natural circulation occurs in the room and creates a light air movement. 3. Openable window allows fresh air to access the room while warm air from interior is moved towards the upper cavity by stack effect. 4. PV panels are rotated to maximise energy production

1. Winter sun angles are lower in winter, so sun penetrates deeper into the space. 2. Closed double facade acts as a thermal buffer. 3. Warm air exhaust will therefore connect to heat recovery system and return it into the UFAD 4. UFAD with pre-heated air from heat recovery system.

The environment analysis on the left is a way to discover whether rotating louvres and solar panels are more efficient than static elements. Left images show the radiation falling on the given surfaces while being rotated to the south and on the right - to the south-west. The left facade works better with south rotation in the morning (21/06 9.00-10.00), while in the afternoon (21/06 15.00-16.00), it works better with south-west rotation.

21.06 9.00-10.00 South rotation

21.06 15.00-16.00 South-west rotation

Therefore, there is an effect of rotation on the efficiency of the panels. Moreover, the sun moves during the day. Therefore rotation of louvres will prevent overheating and decrease the amount of glare.

21.06 9.00-10.00 South-west rotation

21.06 15.00-16.00 South rotation

1. During winter nights, when the air is cooler, thermal buffer (double facade) protects the building from fast temperature drop. 2. Ceiling and floor concrete slabs radiate the energy in the form of heat during the night. 3. Service floors are also heated by thermal mass during the night. 4. Dark coating of floors allows concete to store heat.

Solo living Thesis project combined two main themes : 1. collectivity 2. modern households I have researched and derived the target group - single-person households that become more extensive yearly. The aspect of collectivity is significant for this type of household as people living alone usually have mental problems connected to their way of living. The project focused on housing with the provision of the public plinth and a large number of collective spaces. Community creation principles were derived from both personal and literature researched and used for the particular project on various scales.

Site

Location and urban concept The site is located in the Rotterdam and is part of the harbour area. M4H has around 80 to 100 years of history and is in use even nowadays. Keilweg surrounds the area from the west and Schiemond district on the east side. While being located in the heart of Rotterdam, the region remains calm and quiet as it is facing the water on south and residential neighbourhoods on the north. Vierhavenstraat and park separate the site from north-east while preserving the visual connection between M4H and surrounding areas.

The urban plan of Quadrant A is very much focused on preserving the historical values on site. Six buildings are preserved in order to keep the creative appearance as well as a reference to history. Soundport building in the middle of the park is visually exposed from Keileweg street by pushing the volumes out as it gets closer to the monumental building. The main idea is a contrast between the urban plan facing the park and the adjacent street. The building faces the Keileweg with straight urban facades while opening in a fragmented and playful manner towards the park. The urban plan suggests various shared green spaces on roofs and pedestrian- only traffic within the quadrant to increase collectivity within the space. We have worked in a group of 4 on this master plan as part of the graduation project. We, as a group, made a typology transfer exercise to get to the final proposal. During this experiment, we used Strijp S as a reference point and tried to update our quadrant using the principles from the project. We have used such urban design principles as an open green area with exhibition spaces, the tower placed on the warehouse (as seen on the north side of the plot) and preserving maximum buildings for future renovation. The urban plan is to be used as a suggestion. Therefore, the proposed shape of the building plot does not have to be followed strictly.

Concept overview

Urban strategy

Divorced

The initial urban concept provides a plot of 5 separate buildings shaped on a realised commercial plinth. While the facade facing the street on the NW is straight and calm, the plot reaches the park in various volumes.

Single-person households Elderly

Young professionals

Widowed

Interns Expats and migrants

Requrie geographical mobility, short term housing Give priority to the quality of the apartment over privacy

The project is divided into three main volumes: coliving tower and cohousing volumes. The difference in choosing is in target group: the one on the right is dedicated to younger singletons and provided with large shared areas and study spaces.

The volumes are turned to face east and west from the dwellings. This will allow good sun exposure for all houses within the complex and provide suitable conditions for open terraces in the left bottom volume.

More vulrnerable to loneliness due to the loss of existing social contacts

Proposed The urban concept is changed by aligning volumes on the NS axis in order to reduce the number of dwellings facing south to 0. Such gange also gives more space for the public square around the building as well as meeting Keilewg in a porous manner

Prefer private dwellings while being vulnerable to loneliness

Tend to share dwellings Lacking a sense of community

Prefer homogenous community

There are two types of green areas in the project: the public green space on the plinth for residents of all buildings on the plot and smaller shared spaces per building.

The minimum distance between the volumes is 9.7 metres. However, there are no dwellings facing this space. On the north, the distance is 12.2, which is enough for sun exposure of houses on both east and west.

Brick is an important material for this project not only in the way it looks but the story it tells. The brick is used along the circulation routes and marks the front side of the dwelling. This choice of material is inspired by traditional Dutch architecture and Dutch cities. The idea was to make the circulation space in the project look like the route along the street in the city. The brick is deliberately chosen in various colours to create the division between specific apartments and reduce the anonymity of the entrance space.

Three clasifications of functional space (Kopec. 2006)

Small 8-15 households “An advantage of small communities is that they are less complicated and require less hands-on management, however, it is importat that residents be highly compatible, which often results in a less diverse community”

Primary spaces Communal or common areas where most of a resident’s communication and social interaction take place
