the 1st metaverse architecture biennale 2023
The Pavillion simbolicaly is the shards of our civilization washed ashore in another Universe after billions of years. We think about what they will be like & whether we can reach such a level of development that would save them and transfer to the new world. We show possible scenarios for the evolution of the world, so that everyone can reflect. The life of one person seems small on such a scale, but it is important, & everyone can influence the future if he understands what direction to take.
of the relationship between man and the world in the most important spheres of this relationship.
And if we talk about the visual component, for me, the sharp peaks of mountains are associated with the peaks of knowledge that we have yet to conquer.
House #1
A modern model house in a minimalist style and monochromatic color scheme can be suitable for different plots and for different usage scenarios. All necessary rooms are fitted into a rectangle, which makes the house convenient for living and for building. A fireplace is made in the center of the end facade, which works for both the living room and the front terrace, which becomes an extension of the living room when the glass doors are open.
Monochrome color scheme is well suited for houses located in nature, because in this case the house becomes an accent on the plot and does not argue with the natural environment. And the view from the panoramic windows overlooking the garden becomes a color accent in the interior.
Private house in Toksovo
A small private house for a family with a child with special needs. The specificity of this family's life forces them to refuse open planning solutions and make a certan number of isolated rooms. This is the reason for the zigzag corridor in the center of the house. In addition, the child's peculiarities do not allow to make large windows, so a decorative solution was chosen for the facades to imitate them. Fragments of the wall with windows are slightly recessed and finished with wood of a darker shade.

TOWER
Tower concept for the Archstoyanie festival, the theme of which in 2022 was Happiness. We expressed our understanding of happiness through a tower made of 6000 ice cream cans and capable to generating electricity. Happiness for us is the ability to exist in harmony with the world around us, while remaining an integral being, able to become a support for itself and others, and always striving for development, each time as if in a spiral moving to the next turn.
The base of the tower is a rod, which is turned by the movement of the wind, and through a system of gears drives a dynamo machine, which eventually gives electricity.
Symbolically, this can be transferred to our understanding of happiness in this way. Harmony with the world is minimizing consumption by reusing ice cream cans. Integrity and support is the pivot that runs through the entire tower and holds it together. The energy to move to a new stage of development is the electricity generated by the dynamo machine.
marseption 2018
If we want to explore a new planet, we need to use its advantages, correct its shortcomings, and adapt. Our project is designed for an approach to colonizing Mars that involves gradual terraforming.
The Martian station is a monolithic cutout of heavy-duty material. It is dropped on the surface of Mars in a compressed form. Before that, a hyperboloid-like mesh structure is delivered to Mars, which unfolds into a robot builder - Snake. Snake collects minerals from the Martian soil, mainly basalt, which will later become the filler for the station's structure. When the cutout is dropped on Mars, Snake triggers a sensor, finds it, swallows it, and inflates it with filtered soil, mixing in a catalyst that will provide strength. Because the excavation is monolithic, the solution encounters no obstacles in its path. The base module of the station combines all the necessary functions, but besides it other functional modules, laboratory, farm, gym and others can be delivered to Mars. Also a spare compressed station can always be on Mars and can be opened in case of damage to the main station.
In addition to the station itself, robotic trees are supposed to be installed next to it, which will form protective domes that protect against radiation and dust storms. In the future, they may become installations generating an artificial magnetic field and atmosphere.

Psychiatric hospital
The architectural solution of the facades of the psychiatric hospital is based on the desire to preserve the stylistics of the existing hospital ensemble. The hospital ensemble was designed in 1957 under the direction of Soviet architects Boris Iofan and Vladimir Gelfreich, representatives of Soviet monumental classicism, also called Stalinist architecture. The reconstructed building uses more modern materials than the historic buildings, but the new facades are similar to the historic facades in terms of plasticity and proportions.
The building is divided into three wards on each floor. The first floor accommodates patients with the most severe mental disorders, the second floor - elderly patients with age-related disorders, and the third floor - people with mild disorders.
Museum "Waterways of the North"
The museum is located in the small northern town of Vytegra. Some time ago in the vicinity of this city was found an ancient rook, which was used to travel along the northern sea routes. The future museum is being designed for this rook, which in addition to the main exhibit will house an exposition devoted to the history of northern river navigation.
The museum concept is based on the principles of sustainable development:
Compensation of landscaping is carried out through the arrangement of a landscaped roof, and planting of trees in an area free of development.
Gentle bank stabilization techniques promote normal hydrologic cycles.
Minimizing the use of impermeable pavements reduces the load on the drainage system. It also helps to reduce the heat island effect.
Use of recyclable or reusable materials in the interior and exterior.
Increasing the energy efficiency of the building through the use of modern materials and equipment, which helps to reduce operating costs.
Incorporating renewable energy sources into the building's energy supply. Collecting rainwater and using it for technical purposes.
We propose to make the park area of the project site closer to natural conditions, i.e. to move away from traditional urban lawns towards denser plantings of trees and shrubs. "Sterile" lawns do not contribute to the preservation of natural biodiversity.
All of the measures contribute to a healthier urban environment.
The concept of standard housing
The residential complex is designed to satisfy modern energy efficiency requirements.
It utilizes the following technologies:
-Solar batteries on the roof of the tower collect energy, which is further used for building illumination
-Window panes are covered with a membrane that does not transmit radiant radiation
-Apartmental metering of energy consumption is carried out
-Rain water is collected from the surface of terraces, which is later used for technical purposes
-Autonomous supply and exhaust units with recuperation and heat exchanger are used in the apartments
In the entrances, the use of robot concierges is envisioned, which can perform the following functions:
-Control of the situation in the entrance group and permanent fixation of the perimeter. Information from surveillance cameras is fed to the robot and in case of dangerous situations it automatically calls the police.
-Consulting residents on energy efficiency. Information from detectore in apartments comes to the data processing center, and the robot gives recommendations for improvement.
-Formation of a unified intra-household social network where residents of the building can discuss various issues.
-Information assistance to residents in household issues.
