ROOF Department Store 2014, Vladivostok, Russia Status: Idea

“Tsentralny� shopping center is probably one of the most noticeable historical buildings in old city center. It stands along Svetlanskaya street, where it meets Okeansky prospect, and can be seen from any point of central city square and beyond it. Unfortunately, it is remarkable not for its beauty which is now covered by advertisement posters and damaged by years of careless restoration, but mostly for the glass roof structure. The majority of citizens are rather displeased with its design and the fact that historical building was changed.

Nevertheless, that is how city develops. It is constantly merging old and new together. I did not have a chance to work on this particular object, so every time I passed it by, I would question myself what it might look like. Until one day I decided to redesign it.

The original building was completed in 1903, and since then functioned primarily as a trading house; however its ownership and name changed several times as regimes in Russia changed. It is hard to find high-quality images of its original appearance to reconstruct all the details. Nevertheless, it is obvious that certain elements are different. Wherever possible, old design was reckoned in to re-establish original massing, proportions and silhouette.

This glass roof appeared approximetely in 2005-2006. It hid all original decoration above the cornice. There was an attempt to fix it by reconstructing those details later, but most of them were misplaced, and a few new ones did not even exist before. It is hard to find out when the balcony at the corner disappeared, as well as first city clock that was installed at the top of a frontispiece.

STEP UP Community Space 2015, Copenhagen, Denmark Status: Competition entry

The area in front of Ørestad library and Ørestad school has become one of the busiest places in Ørestad. Despite this, very few people stop and spend time here. This might be due to the fact that the area aren’t conceived as an urban space or square, but as a ”to and from” place.

The wind conditions can tease and people need a reason to stay and hang out in the area. How can we create an active and attractive space for community at this particular location in Ørestad, which has developed into one of the busiest spots in the district with many different people passing through and meeting each day?

N

It seems that what makes the site unsuccessful as a gathering place is not only permanent wind, but also lack of places for face-to-face communication. People can sit along the canal or on the bridge, but there is no place for a large group to meet. There is no comfortable place for any public activities either, except for a small corner next to the library.

A sequence of structures will help organize the site into several areas with multiple interpretations, promote communication between people and become a landmark of Ă˜restad.

It consists of four elements: a gallery (1), modular stands (2,3) and a sunken terrace over canal (4); they can be constructed together or one by one in phases. They are placed along the perimeter, but together they make space in between contained, meaningful and defined.

New structures create additional paths and connections between banks of the canal, as well as give a new character to the seating area under light rail tracks.

Gallery defines west entrance to the site and can provide some level of wind protection. Perforated wall along the canal made of staggered blocks is a wind screen, a shelter from elements, a place to sit alone or with a company, etc. Stand along north edge of the site cantilevers over water, creates a high point at that side of canal and establishes visual connection with the islands theretop.

All seating areas have visual connections between each other and four main activity zones. Zone 2 can be a place for large events, dance performances, music concerts, holiday celebrations (perfect for a Christmas tree). Zone 4 is more intimate and serves better for closer interaction, discussions and debates. Zone 3 engages all other areas and can be used as a stage for events with the maximum number of spectators.

ROCK GARDEN Office complex 2015, Beijing, China Status: Land bid proposal

Brand-new office for a Chinese company should become a recognizable landmark in one of developing areas of Beijing. Three towers define site boundary, while large park occupies central part of the site, creating comfortable and healthy working environment. Sky gardens, roof terraces and public atrium promote people's interaction and enrich office life.

Employ double-loaded corridor typology to increase building volume and create central atrium

Adjust volume geometry to align with site edges and increase primary facade length

Create ring road around and accomodate primary entry poitns

Create large diagonal cut to achieve 80m maximum height

LACE Department Store 2013, Harbin, China Status: Competition entry

Area: 45700 sqm This was probably one of the most interesting projects that I worked on in terms of pre-design research. It was located in Harbin, where I had been living for half a year. About a century ago the city had a strong relations with Russia in cultural and economical aspects. Signs of this impact, though in small numbers, still can be found around Harbin.

One of remaining historical buildings is located at the corner of our site. It used to be a residence of a Russian enterpriser, and after that — an Italian consulate in Harbin. During Cultural revolution the building was seriously damaged. At last, economical development in recent years resulted in massive construction of shopping malls around it that now dominate over lowrise historical legacy.

Proposed option would become a backdrop for a renovated ex-consulate. A glowing extension wrapped with a layers of lace-like wall pattern would attract people to gather between this mix of old and new.

Concept

WALL PATTERN CONCEPT

Development plan for the site suggests that department store can be at a range of 6m from historical building. There will be multiple exits from underground commercial facilities, as well as from subway lines on the site.

The distance between former Italian consulate and new store is increased to 10m to create more valuable walkable space and improve entrance plaza conditions. All functions of the building fit into 8-storey volume which is only 43m tall. Main facade of the building is devided into 2 parts to increase floor area and emphasize entrance.

Parts of the volume are taken out to create compact atriums between floors, that can become places for events, recreational zones or two-storey shops.

These openings improve visual connection of indoor and outdoor, attract passers-by to come in, and let visitors’ eyes rest by looking outside on landmarks or landscape.

ELLIPSE Cinema reconstruction 2009, Vladivostok, Russia Status: Idea

"Okean" cinema is a cultural heritage of Soviet architecture of the 1970s. It’s one of the most popular cultural destinations in the city, thanks to its location and the largest cinema hall among other theatres. Every year it hosts “Pacific Meridian” international film festival. A developer’s brief suggested to extend cinema with new halls and build an office tower on top of them.

N

Site boundary is quite tight and is limited by memorial square in the south, existing buildings in the east and road in the north and west.

There are pathways within it that have to be preserved: an emergency exit from cinema hall, several cinema entrances and a passage uphill along west edge of site boundary.

Roof of the cinema annex is leveled with memorial plaza adjacent to the south-west part of the site. Its volume embodies cinema halls that increase total cinema capacity by 40%. A stair to the roof terrace is moved, and former access paths are restored.

Proposed volume of the office tower is defined by distance from the cinema, height limit and office room depth. West corner of the site is certainly the most suitable location for it.

Top of the tower is stretched to increase room area slightly. Volume is split into two parts to lit the corridors.

Terraced roof above added cinema halls connects memorial park and existing cinema's roof terrace. Formerly monotonous park edge is pulled towards the sea at one point to create a landmark element. Two stairs re-direct and optimize peoples flows along the tower and further up.

entrance plaza

In order to create a balanced and harmonious ensemble with existing building, a massing study is seeking for a simple shape for a tower part.

Through a series of steps office annex inherits its elliptical silhouette from the shape of the cinema in plan. Caps of the cylinder become glass walls that enclose offices. Part of the slope is removed for entrance plaza in front of the tower.

STACK Communication office 2011, ChongQing, China Status: Idea

Area: 11500 sqm Project task was to design a single building which would allocate two government departments.

Programwise, one of them consisted of standard office rooms, while the other one required largespan halls. Therefore, office spaces of the first department formed tower, and rooms of the other one created base slab. Entrances to the offices are separated, but departments are connected inside with shared recreational space. Besides this, complex shape of the base, integrated into existing hill on site, creates a sequence of terraces, accessible for public.

Wide-span halls of one department form slab base, regular office rooms of the other one are stacked into tower.

Base is modified to follow sloping terrain. facade alongside the road is pushed in to form drop-off area.

GLARE Exhibition and Convention Center 2010, Yingkou, China Status: Competition entry

Area: 230000 sqm

The concept is aiming not only to create a building, but to give it a recognizable character as well, which would help to make this ensemble a future center for the development of the surrounding areas. The image if the Sea which plays important role in today’s life of the city and its history, can connect architecture with the spirit of the City, and create a methaphorical bridge between Yingkou’s present and future.

Image of main monumental buildings is based on heavy waves – their smooth outlines and inner energy is shown in shapes of sheds, walls and roofs. Buildings of SOHO and hotel symbolize glare on the water surface, and play the role of the background for exhibition and convention centers.

Concept

Setting up approximate volumes (mass, direction, location) according to functions and construction area.

Exhibition and Convention centres can be two low-rise oblong volumes along main expressway. In contrast, SOHO and hotel are supposed to be high-rise, and are placed in the northern part of the site.

STEP 1

Imagining what would “natural forces� do to the volumes. Wind from the eastern corner of the site where the sea is turns all buildings at different angles.

Pixelated glare on water surface serves as a facade pattern for the second layer of buildings. Foreground group is more solid and in its silhouette gets inspiration from shape of waves.

STEP 2 SKYLINE DIAGRAM What if volumes were flexible? They could be bent, twisted and curved in various ways, like a splash on the water, which appeared and stood still.

FOLD Research Center 2012, Harbin, China Status: Competition entry

Area: 15000 sqm

Research center was given a simple ascetic appearance to reflect its major functional purpose. Simple box accomodates office spaces, research labs and small dormitory. Southern facade is designed as a curtain wall to get more solar gain for offices all year round, while northern is almost completely solid to reduce heat loss in winter. Its glossy ceramic panels refer to interior finish of the labs inside. Entrance canopies over separate entrances for research center and dormitory and a folded cover over multifunctional roof are shaped in a similar style. These relatively complex sculptural pieces frame box in the middle and create interesting contrast.

Initial volume for the office was set in accordance with the task book, client’s comments and local building codes: single building, 50 m wide, 50 m deep. This size of a footprint defines a 7-storey block. North-east corner of the site was chosen to place the building, as the furthest from two busy roads.

Central part of the cube is removed to create atrium and provide offices and common spaces inside with natural light. Part of the west facade is cut to connect atrium with outside space.

Upper part of the volume is sliced to form roof, which covers technical equipment, elevator shafts and staircases. Roof is inclined towards the atrium in order to reduce overshadowing. Lower part of the volume is pulled towards the entrance to the site, and forms main entrance.

Landscape design and folded canopies use similar design language, which makes building integrated into surrounding. Roof is folded as well to support dymanic characted of one part of the building, as opposed to static central part.

Offices are located along south, partly east and west facades, therefore, those sides are mostly flazed. North, partly west and east facades have smaller window openings (as rooms on that side of the building mostly rely on artificial light), which can help reduce energy loss.
