Experience: Architect Andriy Myrgorodskiy Workshop, Kyiv, Ukraine July 2023-January 2023 I'm Daryna, an architecture student from Ukraine currently studying in the UK. I'm passionate about digital design, architecture photography, and digital visualization. I enjoy learning about different cultures and how their philosophies influence design approaches in today's world.

When it comes to architecture, I can't pick a favorite activity. I love working on computer-aided design (CAD), being on-site, and getting hands-on in the workshop equally. During my time at university, I've learned to manage my time well, and I'm also good at communicating and negotiating.

01 Médical center

This project required to design a medical center for a university campus as a substitution for an old one.

This design was based on sustainability, easy use and a principle of merging with surroundings. The main goal for me was to create stress-free space to help students cope with all the tension of an independent life.

By having a curved organic form, medical center creates a feeling of sincerity. The absence of corners on the building makes it more welcoming and it takes away the feeling of a hospital. The Vertical beam cladding on a building creates the feeling of privacy for a visitor, as they see through the pattern, while looking out of the window, This creates a visual feeling of security and division in between two thresholds.

The medical center not only is used for a basic examination but it’s aimed for a gentle medical experience for the visitors.

This goal was achieved by introducing more transparency and natural light to a design.

Natural light factor was satisfied by introducing two courtyards inside of a building, they not only help to light up the space, but also serve as a pleasant view for those in waiting area. the yard of the building is intended to be a place for communication with others and nature therapy to let the stress levels down. the placement of a building is slightly hidden by nature to create the calm and relaxing atmosphere around and inside of it.

the site is surrounded by trees , which creates a feeling of secrecy and privacy. The area is quiet and inactive, which makes it the perfect location for medical centre. Many food pass routes are good thing for fast access for the occasional visit or even emergency. The area can also be accessed by a vehicle which is useful for loading of trash or unloading the goods. After researching views, I decided that my main focus of openings will be on east and south, as it has a beautiful overlook and greenery, as well as great light during the day.

North and west will be my vehicle access areas, parking and main entrance and west for deliveries.

model

01.5

This architectural model employs a blend of materials to represent various elements of a building. Wooden sticks are used to symbolize timber elements, capturing the organic and structural qualities of wood in architecture. Colored card is utilized to indicate limestone, often chosen for its durability and natural beauty. The use of moss to represent a sedum roof emphasizes the growing trend of integrating green spaces into building designs, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and the incorporation of natural elements in urban environments. The model's section cut offers a glimpse inside, showing how these materials and green spaces interact within the structure, marrying form with function.

02 Art:Space

The objective of this project entailed the establishment of a petite artistic facility catering to both children and adults.

This art center serves as an extension to a museum in Bath, UK, following a request from the authorities for a compact craft space suitable for hosting masterclasses and workshops for people of all ages. My primary objective was to maintain a sense of simplicity while creating a versatile, welllit, and spacious environment. To achieve this, I opted for a basic, childhood-inspired building design, unifying various requirements. Additionally, I enlarged the opposite wall to give the illusion of increased space when entering the center, adding an element of intrigue. Furthermore, I chose to conceal windows beneath the outer cladding to effectively manage natural light and prevent workshop attendees from being overwhelmed by the sun's glare.

03 Artisan

The objective of this project was to design a residence for a blacksmith located on an island undergoing revitalization. The building was intended to serve as a catalyst for the growth of the new community and the island's economy.

The primary objective for the blacksmith's family home was to create a warm and comfortable living and working environment in a cold and windy area. To achieve this, I employed several design strategies.

Firstly, I incorporated an inner courtyard to provide shelter from the harsh weather conditions. I also minimized the size of the windows to reduce heat loss and used brick as the primary insulation material, ensuring effective thermal regulation.

For the summer season, I introduced an open veranda on the upper floor to offer a space for relaxation and enjoyment of better weather conditions.

In terms of sustainability, I harnessed the heat generated from the workshop to warm the main living area by connecting the walls between the two spaces. This not only improved energy efficiency but also created a cohesive and functional layout.

The building's form was primarily driven by low-carbon requirements, leading me to choose reclaimed brick as the main construction material. Additionally, I carefully considered the placement of exposed walls and windows, primarily facing south to maximize solar heat gain, further contributing to energy efficiency and overall comfort.

space usage

8 am Throughout the day, this house experiences a diverse range of activities and uses. The morning for the blacksmiths starts in the workshop, where the gentle light from the east welcomes them as they begin their workday. This space is filled with the sounds of craftsmanship and the forging of metals, setting the tone for their creative endeavors.

2 pm As noon approaches, they take a break and move to the living room, where the atmosphere shifts to one of relaxation and leisure. Here, they may enjoy meals, read, or engage in various other activities that provide a contrast to the earlier industriousness in the workshop.

11 pm Eventually, the day draws to a close, and they retreat to the bedroom. Here, they bid farewell to the fading sunlight, perhaps gazing out of the windows at the changing colors of the sky as they wind down from their day. The bedroom provides a peaceful and restful space where they can recharge, ready to embrace the new day when the sun rises again in the east. This house effectively caters to the various needs and rhythms of their daily lives.
