A complex volume is dressed in a double polycarbonate skin that illuminates at night. This volume is a real lighthouse, which has become an urban signal and the symbol of the city’s radiancy.

The insect farm project combines both, the industry and cultural components and transforms them into something even more community oriented, with the idea of providing a ‘living room’ for the city.

02_YEAR_2020 2020 PROJECT TYPE_BSC(HONS) DISSERTATION TOPIC_FEMINIST CITY

Women have a long history of being excluded from public spaces, streets and cities in general. Why? Because cities were not built with women in mind in the first place.

Cities are supposed to be built for all of us. Men, women, children. However, cities are not built by all of us. In fact, most cities are designed by men. Therefore, the experience of wandering through the city’s streets, parks, and spaces differs from male’s and female’s perspective. People of all genders, social groups, sexual orientations, colours and meeting the needs of all abilities and disabilities- a city must be able to satisfy the needs of all of us, not just a certain group of people.

What are the major factors that have had an impact on how females navigate the city today?

What are the biggest hurdles that restrict and have effect on an equal experience of space?

How can a feminist approach towards architecture benefit not only women?

How did the feminist geographers, urbanists, architects approached the problematics of gender inequality in architecture?

Under which conditions can a feminist city become a reality so that everyone has the same opportunities?

The masterplan for the redevelopment of a large industrial area brings back the identity of a unique demolished brownfield. To create a identity, we looked at the historical historical plans throughout the century and decided to work with the overlay of the historical maps of the area.

PROJECT TYPE_ MASTERPLAN CLIENT_SKODA CAR FACTORY LOCATION_MLADA BOLESLAV, CZECH REPUBLIC

The brief was to bring the run down part of the city back to life through creating a new masterplan for the area.

The proposal relies on a high degree of diversification of the public and the private, interconnection with the existing factory building, and perpetuating the character of the place as a whole. This combination creates a locality with a high potential to complement a tranquil residential area with lively city life features.

The project was conducted during summer Mood For Wood - Common Habitat workshops.

Its main goal was to transform the run-down area surrounding Rusałka lake. Logs of wood and tree trunks which were main materials used in the project were obtained for free from the land owner. We used them to create both the obstacles for dogs and places to sit for their owners. The whole project has linear composition, with different types f connections used between its elements.

06_YEAR_2018/2019 2018/2019 YEAR 3, EXCHANGE_ AARHUS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, DENMARK PROJECT TYPE_SOCIAL HOUSING LOCATION_ AARHUS, DENMARK This site is located in the South Harbour in

Aarhus,Denmark.

In the past, this was highly industrial area with gin distillery, cargo and coal shipping and slaughterhouse .

+

+

As factories closed down, low rants and abundance of space made South Harbor attractive for local artist. The site is also occupied by people without homes, who were pushed away from the city centre to the cit periphery of the city.

Nowadays, South Harbor is undergoing a huge redevelopment and therefore faces new challenges such as how to deal with gentrification, social issues, lack of housing and others.

22

INITIAL IDEA-CIRCULATION

The modest size of the flats is compensated by the few generous communal spaces that encourage socialising. Micro flats are suitable not only for people without home but also for those who seek an alternative an efficient and playful ‘home’.

stairs, corridors become vibrant meeting spots

INSPIRATION-MONASTERY

The project aims to combine pragmatic needs with spatial experiences. It is inspired by a traditional architecture of monasteries which consist of a central courtyard- providing a gathering function, and a semi-sheltered corridor which encourages movement.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE

23

The housing consists of public ground floor and private upper floors. Modular living not only saves space but also provides a non-conventional way of living. The furniture and devices we usually use every day are hidden or in-built into the plywood walls. This way, a single room can transform into many functions.

The ambition is to build a strong connection between a project and the city, where the inhabitants and the city benefit form each other mutually as well as to re-generate activity within the area by taking a contextual approach- a dialogue between old and new in a empathetic interpretation of the architectural uniqueness of Merchant City.

The project focuses on generating vivid space as well as breaking the stereotypes which will be achieved by creating numerous informal spaces for residents and visitors allowing new places to meet. The building is thus seen as an open space revealing the activities taking place around individual flats. Different housing units will accommodate families, older residents, students and singles with distribution around many common areas, creating the perfect conditions for socialising.

08_YEAR_ 2017/2018 YEAR 2_UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE,SCOTLAND,UK PROJECT TYPE_TO LEARN: A LIBRARY LOCATION_ ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND

The vision was to create a versatile, accessible and sustainable space which would provide an interactive space for people not only to read books, but participate, learn and get involved.

One of the most striking elements of the study Library in St Andrews is the dramatic roof-light, flooding the internal volume with daylight. Well, which is part of the site, became a key precedent for upside-down cone, drawing the sky down into the heart of the library.

A large unused green area gave opportunity to create a ‘garden library’ with vast urban planning, large windows and introducing a green roof.

This project aims to accomplish wide spaces for socialisation, both interior and exterior. It is a place to spread knowledge and spend time constructively.

DESIGN PROPOSAL of a `HOUSE OF WORSHIP ` is a demonstration of both a physical and spiritual journey. The design responds to the context by creating a double shell. A timber outer shell provides a public space for gathering, enjoying the weather, or just contemplating alone. The exquisite perforations give rise to a whole variety of lighting patterns, depending on the time of day and the angle of sunlight. An uninterrupted surface of the rammed earth wall disengages the internal space from its surrounds, there one can encounter an inward contemplation.

During this project, working as a team played a key role. The task was to build a hexagonal construction in 1:1 scale out of timber lengths. As a group, we needed to cooperate, discuss, listen to each other, decide promptly, learn how to work with timber, to construct and think about foundation to make the structure stable, functional and safe.
