Name: Sporthotel Year: 2011 Status: student project (Hannover university) The hotel locates in south Bavaria near the border of Austria. The place is named Winklmoosalm which is a alpine meadow on the south slope. The project represents intermediate state of architecture and landscaping. The hotel gradually grows out of slope and smooth curves merge with the hill. So the body of hotel has a minimum influence on existing natural landscape.

Artificial gorge visually represents entrance and directs people inside. Through the narrow passage the visitor enters in full of light atrium with a lobby and a reception. This space contrast between dull corridor and a breadth atrium makes a wow-effect on each visitor. From the lobby you can get into the spa area, a rental zone and of course go up to the rooms. Floors above are providing amazing views of the Alps. There is a restaurant, bar and much more. At the top of the hotel there is an open terrace where the alpine cows graze.

Name: Blooming facade Year: 2011 Status: student project (Hannover university) The task was to create transformation space in a little room that is only 3300x5000 mm. All the transformations were moved outside, to the facade. The conception originates from thoughts about comfortable space climate to live all the year round. In winter there is a need to isolate themselves from the cold. At contrary, in summer, everyone tries to be open to the world. Thus, the highest demand of transformation in the house is in shifting of the outside wall. This idea is extrapolated at the big house of a cellular type. In winter the cells are closed but transparent. When the spring comes some of the cells begin to bloom. As more the weather is getting comfortable, as more open burgeons on the facade there are.

The facade transformations occurs by origami principle. Electric actuator moves vertical casement elements around vertical axis, and they pulls the rest elements. Axis of other elements in case of thickness is movable. The folds are composed of a steel frames with attached glass 2 cm thick.

There are steel cables attached to one of the folds and acts as barriers. Cables wounds in a winch located indoors.

Name: Parking for 300 cars Year: 2011 Status: student project Parking typology provides an opportunity to make some experimental work with facades. The space shouldn’t be closed, but representative in a lively town. Permeable shell has a function to protect the cars from overheating. The diamond-like structure of the shell is 40cm depth.

The idea is to make a big picture through pixels of the same type. As a little pixels appears anodized aluminum panels with holes. There are only 4 scales of the holes that changes density of the shell and smoothly makes an abstract image. It was made a parametrical script to generate a facade based on various pictures.

Name: Lightcube Year: 2012 Status: realized The lightcube is an installation for a festival “Catastrophe� that took place near Odessa in Summer 2012. The theme of the festival was connected with the apocalypse predictions 2012. The Cube itself looks like as if it was hit by a meteor rain at judgment day. But the most interesting things are happening inside. Main role is played by the sun, which creates a mini-performance with light during a day. Sunlight penetrates through many quaint holes. At different times of the day it forms sunbeams of definite shape on the floor. Thus there ere appearing various pictures, which tells the story to the viewer about the catastrophe and the man. The picture effect occurs because of using of double skin facade from plywood. Both skins allow sunlight to pass through the wall at the proper time. At the time of the picture changing one skin overlaps the other and makes the light pour only where it is needed.

The Holes were calculated carefully. Calculation of the shadow of the walls was made using parametrical script. To write the script it was necessary to study the laws of the sun motion across the sky. Script manages a day of the year and a latitude of the calculation site.

Name: Multiplex cinema center Year: 2012 Status: student project Folded bright concrete facade creates a positive association among visitors. The image of the theater curtains, veil or tablecloths are primarily waiting for something new, whether it is performance or tasty food. The filling corresponds the outside shell. There are premiere films, entertainment and restaurants inside.

The function is evenly scattered within square volume of the multiplex. A laconic geometry of the building balances the complicated facade surface. The cinema rooms are hanging around the lobby and forming a quaint canyon inside.

To reach the necessary cinema room the visitors use hanging gangways that aren’t clutter canyon space. For better orientation, each room is visible from any point of the lobby. The main public directions are represented by the floor pattern which is a kind of thermal map of movements inside the multiplex building.

New vision of St. Petersburg 2012 International competition, 3rd place Shapkin Tim, Mikhailov Nikita.

The site is located in old town of St. Petersburg between river Fontanka and Vitebsky train terminal. There is many existing objects inside the area: City Hospital, Military Medical Museum, a number of old tenements under state protection, a couple of business centers, and most importantly, the old powerhouse.

The project proposal is to create a pedestrian street between two large city nodes - Sennaya square and a square in front of Vitebsky rail terminal. The pedestrian route is laid along existing street and bridge, continues trough the archway and becomes a new public space in a new neighborhood. On both sides of the street appears big porous structure which is a mixed-use building with apartments, offices, shops and one Kindergarten. Through the pores which are 15x15 meters breadth a housing estate gets fresh air and sunlight. This structure with openings is an allusion of well-known narrow courtyards of old St. Petersburg. That approach secures identity of the city in a new project. The main advantage of such porous structure is a big population density meanwhile low-level people-friendly building. This two qualities are perfectly suitable for old cities.

Name: Мulti-storey residential building.

Year: 2013 Status: Bachelor thesis (MARCHI)

• •

Bachelor thesis includes two parts. The first part is urban planning of a residential area and the second part is a detailed design of a residential building in this area. The site is located in St. Petersburg in Petrograd island. The Karpovka river divides the area into two pieces. The residential area plan is based on following principles: • Required amount of Green public places • Size of blocks are similar with old town • Most of necessary infrastructure is within 10 minutes walk • Shops and offices on the ground floor • Connected network of streets which disperses traffic • The streets are relatively narrow (20 - 25m) and shaded by trees. This slows traffic, creating an environment suitable for pedestrians and bicycles.

16

In St. Petersburg there are zoning laws. The maximum allowable height of the site is 28 m on the waterfront and 33 m in the depth of the block. At one corner of the block there is a need for a predominant building. Therefore at that corner the frontage declines in depth and reaches its maximum 33 meters height wherein the zoning law isn’t disturbed. As a result the building gets curved surface of spectacular frontage.

Underground parking for residents Direct sunlight in all apartments (related on russian standards)

The window openings are changing as far as facade wrap extends. On the vertical section of the facade the window grid is simple and strict. On the other side with the increasing of inclination of frontage the windows are changing it’s scale and protrusion. This technique expresses the principle of gradual response to environmental conditions around the building.

Berezhkovskaya 20 redevelopment 2013 Liral group Krimov Michael, Gorjainov Alexei, Tim Shapkin (Arch-group)

The territory was used to be as chemical factory until 90-s. Now it is a big 26 hectares area rental buildings. The task was maximum renovation of existing structure, minimum new construction. The reconstruction project is designed for the medium term without deep intervention.

Berezhkovskaja 20 at the moment is a collection of different style, texture and size of buildings. Among the many unremarkable buildings there are several of architectural value. Besides there were remained industrial artifacts - tanks, heating mains, pipes. All of these objects we save. We offer to turn the entire site into a high quality humane environment. Besides measures for restoration and reconstruction we decided to drown the industrial area in greenery. The main element of improvement becomes green street that runs through the entire site.

The function depends on existing characteristics of buildings. There were formed several functional clusters in the area. In the west appeared mainly business cluster in the center - the hotel cluster, in the eastern part - creative cluster. Particular attention was paid to functional filling the ground floor.

All existing buildings on the site were carefully studied and classified by type. Each type corresponds its recommendations about redevelopment.

Name: Melnikov house monument Year: 2013 Team: Michael Krimov, Alexei Gorjainov, Tim Shapkin Melnikov House is one of the most striking examples of the fate of architecture monuments in Russia . He needs a repair for a very long time. Property issues relating to it are confusing and intractable.

We propose not to wait until the situation will resolve by itself with the destruction of the house. To do this, We offer to carry it into a major world museum and exhibition center for 499 years of rent under the obligation to restore it and open it as a museum.

On the Melnikov house site, instead of a monument of architecture, we propose to create a monument to architecture. This is a negative, emptiness, a mask of the house. This is inverted notion of architecture. The whole area around this void filled with concrete up to the full height of the building standing here. The entrance was carried out through a narrow corridor in the thickness of the concrete. The whole space of the Melnikov House is a courtyard where every detail is identical to the initial volume of the building. This is a fossil , the memory of a past age. Concrete block reliably protect the memory for years - there is nothing more to break down, deteriorate, grow old .

NCCA 2013 International competition Michael Krimov, Alexei Gorjainov, Tim Shapkin, Vitali Verbitski

The architectural solution of the facade is a smooth mirror 30 meters high and 395 meters long. Rectangular mirror plane grows out of the ground at the border of the future park. The plane of the facade reflects and doubles the environment of the museum: park, trees, pavilions, etc. Mirror plane is a symbolic boundary between the ordinary world and the world of art. Forthcoming person sees himself and environment reflection. This look at ourselves, this change in perspective is preparing habitual visitor to the perception of contemporary art. At the same time facade completely hides technological hypermarket wall, which is located behind the museum.

Entrance to the museum is organized in such a way that the visitor first goes along the glass parallel to the facade. Due to the gradient the mirror glass, outside there is an effect of gradual dissolution of the person in the building and in the reflection of the park.

The internal structure of the museum consists of independent functional units, located in the free 30 -meter atrium. These volumes are arranged in such a manner that would provide the most convenient and, thus, the use of multi-functional rooms. The central atrium of the museum is a bright indoor space where the individual volumes of the exhibition halls, technological and other spaces enter. Multilevel space with spaces of various scales provides maximum opportunities for individual approach for exhibiting of contemporary art. The central atrium is also an exhibition space, which can be used for exhibiting works of art of any size. In addition, it can be used as a space for performances, video art demonstrations, lectures, etc.

Invisible awning 2014 International competition Michael Krimov, Alexei Gorjainov, Tim Shapkin, Vitali Verbitski Consulting: Arup Name: Year: Status: Team:

The existing awning spoils the original idea of a facade designed by an architect. It destroys tier system of architectural plans which is the hallmark of Stalin-style skyscrapers. From the front view of the building (the main view for arriving guests), the awning hides an essential element - a majestic portal over which the entire facade of the building should be seen, but it is not visible. A new awning should not repeat this mistake, so it should not block the upper part of the portal and the rest of the facade. The best solution of this situation is the lack of any awning.

The idea: The protection against precipitations is more than needed. However an awning should be invisible. This is possible through the use of an air awning. In three places above the doors we will make special slots through which air will be supplied under pressure, creating an invisible barrier against precipitations (like industrial air curtains ). Ventilators switch on only when it rains, snows or hails, and their power changes automatically depending on the intensity of precipitations.

The result: We return the true look to the historic building without using any modern elements.

Yarky Hostel 2015 Yarky Space International competition finalist, project realized Tim Shapkin, Alan Dzhibilov

The basic task was to create a small seasonal hostel for two people without facilities in St. Petersburg. The total area of the building should be 3x3m. The idea is to convert the facade surface in whole window. Wooden framework is sheathed with semitransparent polycarbonate that leaves dispersed daylight inside. The intensity of light is regulated due facade perforation which depends on cardinal directions, and shadow conditions. Except letting light inside the walls hide private life from publicity. Besides there is the RGB led system integrated within the walls. Hostel shines vivid colors at night.

Curling hall ceiling 2014 AMD Architects realized Tim Shapkin, Maxim Bataev

The biggest parametrical installation in Russia at the moment. 551 sq. m aluminium ceiling tops off a new specific place in St. Petersburg. 982 hexagonal pannels distribute snowflakes pattern among the waveslike surface. Glossy 1mm aluminium reflects the lights representing winter mood all the year round.

The hexagons aren’t flat. Each panel has been calculated to provide the limited flexibility to cover initial double-curved surface. At the same time digital model allows to install the ceiling with high precision and clear sequence.

Name: Digital library Berlin Year: 2015 Status: student project (DIA) The digital library of Berlin represents cultural code of the german capital. Appearing of inner space as well as woven structure were influenced and morphed by different external factors.

As main factor act cultural representatives. It has been compiled a list of the more than 100 most famous personalities who lived and worked in Berlin. List contained scientists, artists, writers, actors, politicians and more. We collected information of each one person in the list and calculated theirs contribution weight based on certain methodics.

Finally we’ve got a personalities map that influenced inner program of the builing (atriums, columns, furniture etc.).

The woven structure itself is inspired from examples of nature as the beaver damm and wicker nests. Also we used ideas from human culture as Jackard loom punched cards and core memory principles. Woven stucture encodes the certain text using binary code technique. Each letter of the text corresponds 8 simbols of zero an one. Our proposal is to use only ones as anchor points of weaving.

The composite weaving approach of building construction provides a lot of advantages. Material saving, low transportation costs, high strength to volume ratio, high tensile strength, editable properties of structure as well as beauty - are the incomlete and noteworty components of the approach.

Retrochair 2015 student project, realized Tim Shapkin, Shady A.Azeem

The task: design a chair, then create a prototype. Of the many ideas I took most realistic one: not to create a chair from strach but recostruct existed one. On the flee-market in Berlin I found suitable candidate for this purpose - wooden retrospective chair. From the old chair we kept only side elements and inlay of the bottom. All the new parts schould have been created from MDF sections. MDF elements were connected in three places via steel rods. Between sections we inserted wooden circles different scales. All the sections were tighten with the nuts. Then old parts of the chair were glued together with the new ones.

Name: Temple of 3 Religions Year: 2015 Status: Student Project I consider this project as an attempt to rethink decoration in contemprorary architecture. Recent years we observe some kind of thaw in architectural ornamentation since 100 years ago Adolf Loos declared renouncement of it. Today decoration trends are coming back but in another new formation. Computational design has come instead of analog design. More and more architects use genenarative techniques in their design. Instead of handicraft labor, automated technologies has come such as 3d printing or milling. Given technological shift let us consider the decoration in architecture in a new way.

Sacred space could be as apropriate test ground for decoration experiments. Aim of the project is to design church, sinagogue and mosque at one spot. The final solution is three laconic cubes based on one common stylobate. Each temple is accessible from the street as well as form stylibate level with a common space for visitors. The utmost minimalism of exterior refuse any canons of temple heritage of each culture. Absolutely identical cubes emphasize total equality of religions. In the same time interiors of each temple is authentic.

In church trere is an attempt to combine and mix aesthetics of roman masonry, splendor of baroque and severity of sharp gothic. On top of it a pinch of Gaudi kind of fancy. Mosque decoration was inspired by traditional mucarnas (high detailed cell arches in niches). For sinagogue I took simmetrical fractals grown from regular grid.

Decoration in the projet in every different temple is generated by one algorithm. The only difference are input parameters. At first look it seems a very diversity of ornamentation in each case, but the inner logic always remains. It turnes out another good metaphor about religion.

Folded chair 2016 self initiative project

The chair is the result of some material performance researches I did while studying. The main idea is to minimize needed amount of material via morphological features. The old approach in architecture to fold the surface in order to bear loads I’ve implemented in a field of industrial design in more elegant way. Due this approach I intend to reach double reduction of plastic material that is usually required for analog chairs.

The design takes in account required ergonomics. The folds avoid places where human body should touch the surface and leave it flat. On the sides folds create armrests. Remaining surfaces are fullfilled with folds evenly.

NanoNano (Nanotech science center) 2016 Master thesis project (DIA) Tim Shapkin, Alan Dzhibilov

Abstract: The project aims to improve the design workflow of complex typologies of the buildings as working facilities. Taking nanotechnology science branch and the typology of the science research center as complex, highly equipped facilities with a certain frequency of changes during the period of use.

We propose evolutionary vision of the building structure as new typology. Merging two necessary aspects of the building, bearing structure and technical service system into one complex system in the very beginning of the design process. Thus we oppose our project to the traditional design approach with total separation of structural framework of the building and utility services. The project contains some design strategies based on systems taken from natural world. The strategies combined together makes architecture more harmonious and balanced. They solve not only structural and service issues, but also consider the matter of evolution and adaptability in a world of constantly changing requirements.
