Kuwait City Crossrail
Author: Amazing Architecture Zein Engineering: Since the advent of oil modernization in 1950, Kuwait city tackled an urban transformation and development that had impact on the urban society, social relations and public behavior, including the demolition of one of the oldest government hospitals “Al-Amiri Hospital” in the late 1970’s to become today a parking lot that serves the area. The project’s mission is to revitalize the place that used to be the public’s destination for medical services without mislaying its actual function and denying its past. Thus, the idea is to create a public green house and at the same time medical plants will be planted.

CO-WORKING MENDELSOHN
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Iconic avant-garde building renovation. Saint-Petersburg, Pionerskaya street. 2021. The project proposes new use for the power station building designed by Erich Mendelsohn. We place the functional content in accordance with the building's tripartite structure, fitting uses to spaces in the most natural way possible. Spacious lots for long-term rent are placed in the fore of the building. The main boiler hall houses both large undivided work spaces and smaller separate rooms for short-term rent. The latter are stacked together vertically to form seven glass towers near one side of the hall. The towers stand clear of the great vertical windows in order not to obstruct the daylight pouring from them. Steel galleries that connect all the floors are placed between the towers and the wall. The turbine hall in the aft of the building is occupied by an event zone - a multi-purpose space that can work as a club, a restaurant or a concert venue. We pay great attention to revealing the longitudinal axis of the building as well as emphasising spatial connectivity between functional blocks by means of the great axial enfilade.

Istanbul, Turkey Status: 1st Award - Commissioned Period: July 2021 - ongoing Emerged as an unplanned urban void in the busy Hora district of Prince Islands, “Phaeton” Square served as the main transportation node and the starting station of the famous tours of Büyükada (Prinkipo). Having occupied as a parking and rotation space, the square was a hidden backstage, away from the sight but constantly in preparation for the historically, socially and culturally rich acts of Büyükada’s daily life. Interpreting the current transportation decisions opportunistically, the project aims to explore the potentials of backstage (phaeton station) to transform into the main stage (main square) of public life, and to research its abilities not only as a space for its close vicinity but for the entirety of Büyükada and all the Prince Islands. This design mechanism proposes an intertwined way of engagement with public space by introducing collective program as a consequence of interactive superimposed layers, allowing flexible development; anticipating active participation of the user and ecology; conceiving continuous and legible spatial organization for more interaction; considering the significance of open spaces as public spaces; and addressing these issues in multiple program scenarios in the processes of multitudes of cultures. It offers soft urbanism strategies that are free of the controlling obsession with certainty, predictability, or permanence but instead dynamic, flexible, ad hoc.
EVERYDAY-OASIS
Author: OPENACT.architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Zeynep Küheylan, Ozan Şen, Berna Yaylalı. Type: International Urban Design Competition Client: Capital City Podgoriça Location: Podgoriça, Montenegro Status: Winner Period: January 2021 Meandering through vast and diverse territories of wild peripheral terrains into principal urban center; agricultural lands into aquatic nature reserves, Morača’s continual flow transpires a diverse range of multilayered socio-ecological encounters reconciling natural and human spheres. Its pristine aquatic resources, devious course and terrain morphology not only incites life in Podgorica as a city, but also, conceives a contradictory urban form which is both divided and adhered by the presence of this eminent river. Among many other European capitals situated around a river, Podgorica’s conversation with Morača remains distinct and offers exceptional opportunities to explore new modes co-creation and co-habitation with nature for 21st century urbanscapes. In almost all European capitals around a river, the rivers had been profoundly manipulated, tamed, constructed and urbanized throughout history, whereas in Podgorica, due to the unique morphology of the riverbed and also due to the historic urban planning approaches, Morača persisted as an almost untouched, untamed wilderness right in the middle of the city. This essence of the river instigated a reserved space for constant natural transformation yet of outstanding permanence, enduring and witnessing through time, becoming the common heritage of natural and human artifacts, and perpetually connecting the heterogeneous and diverse ecosystem, history, ethnicity, culture, civilization, religion, architecture and urbanism of Podgorica.
MODEL HOUSE
Our childhood was spent in summer cottages. We tried to transfer our memories to the project of a typical house, which would inherit this typology dear to the hearts of the authors in a new capacity. Our project is a small, simple and comfortable house with an attic floor under a high gable roof. All solutions are based on simplicity of design and user friendliness. The plan is a rectangle with sides of 8 and 10 meters. On the ground floor there is an entrance loggia, a vestibule, a hall, a large utility room that can accommodate a boiler room, a pantry and a laundry room, a bathroom, a guest bedroom/study and a combined kitchen - living room - dining room. The stairs to the second floor are located in the hall, opposite the entrance. In the basic version, the house is equipped with a terrace, on which a veranda is possible. The entrance can be supplemented with the removal of the porch visor. On the second floor there are two spacious bedrooms, separated by a hall, a bathroom and a small opening of the second light into the living room. The verified functional zoning allows organizing a full-fledged space for the life of a family of 4-6 people on a relatively small area.
ARCHIPELAGO SIRIUS
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Sirius federal territory. 2021 AB CHVOYA + Dreamers United + SMENA design bureau + John Loof Green + lighting design studio The View Our proposal involves much more than the development of the city embankment. We propose a way to create a new waterfront that would be green, sustainable, and diverse and to re-define the boundary between the sea and the city. We have taken the thread of the embankment and gave it structure by introducing lighthouses, squares, nodes, and islands where the side streets and significant masterplan axes meet the embankment – like charms on a necklace. We re-define the boundary between the sea and the city. We turn it into a living thing. In our project, the boundary is no longer a firm line. It moves further inland in the form of slightly sloping parks and makes its way out into the sea in the form of green islands, each with its own scenario and function. The landscape and the character of the islands follow the coast protection plan, as well as the functional context of the city. Together, they create a new waterfront, a chain of architectural focal points. The islands take solid ground in the existing coast protection project and expand it. Structurally, they are penetrable reefs that protect the coast and create new quiet bays. They provide a new starting point for coastal biotopes where the sea biodiversity meets the necklace of gardens for the new embankment.
BRACKET HOUSE
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA West Lica, Leningradskaya oblast'. 2022 AB CHVOYA + 2A Production The Bracket house is a rather tricky, yet modest piece of architecture. The existing woods on the site, had a void in the middle as a result of the previous owner's unfinished earthworks. Filling this void, the house received a trapeze-shaped plan, that meets the requirements of the program. In the central wing there is a single spaced kitchen-dining-living room, in the road-facing part of the building there is an entrance, a guestroom and the technical block, and in the distant wing, farthest from the road, there are bedrooms, kids room and a small office. The curved plan forms a semi-enclosed courtyard and a ledge of the living room, facing the forest. The outer perimeter of the roof does not match the perimeter of the outbuildings. This mismatch includes loggias of entrances and a terrace along the forest façade in the covered area. At the ends of the building there are two covered terraces - one adjoins the master bedroom, the other – the spa zone. The house does not overwhelm a rather small plot with its scale and seems to be one-story from the outside The interior finishing is as simple as possible. All surfaces are plastered and painted light grey. Load-bearing wooden structures cut through the interior space, adding an additional layer to the interior. Large windows and a curved plan make the surrounding forest integral part of the interior.
YACHT-CLUB 2021
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Central Yacht-club renovation project. Saint-Petersburg, Petrovskaya kosa 9. 2021. Our project derives from the synthesis between two components of the transformation of the Petrovskaya Kosa - the yacht club and the city embankment. In our proposal, the original masterplan zoning is preserved and developed. The northern part of the club with a slip retains its sports and training facilities, while the southern part, with gentle additions of new boathouses, will become a parking place for the club's fleet. The project also significantly increases the quantity of parking spaces both on water and on land. For this purpose, we add a new lightweight shed over the existing winter storage areas and boathouses. Vacant in the summer, boathouses along the embankment will accommodate a variety of functions - from an exhibition to a summer restaurant. Picturesque embankments, with new greenery along, the garden of Rops' house and the territory of the "field" will become new public recreations. In the renovated yacht club, one may take a walk in the park, stroll along the embankments while gazing at the boats, sit in a cafe and watch the sunset over the guest harbor. In our project, the yacht club and the city space do not contradict, but complement each other, creating a new generous public place on the city map.

Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Guest- and bathhouse. Leningradskaya oblast', Kavgolovo. 2020 The bathhouse is located on the edge of the site, which occupies the northern slope of the hill, facing the lake. The building is partly hidden in the landscape. The main facade overlooks the site and the lake and is decorated with a gallery. The back wall is a fence along the border. All rooms face the plot, except for the kitchen, that is located in the back and is illuminated by a skylight. The outer surfaces of the bathhouse are covered with an old darkened wooden planks, while internal surfaces, including gallery walls, are clad with a new light wooden boards. The steam room wall, made of calibrated logs, might be seen on the main façade. The roof is covered with natural grasses. The restrained color palette of the bathhouse is complemented by an accent metal column in the gallery, painted red.
INFOPOINT
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Temporary pavilion for the VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art Moscow, Zubovsky Boulevard. 2020 The temporary pavilion for the Biennale of Young Art in the courtyard of the Museum of Moscow was designed as an access point to all the projects of the Biennale in the city, and first of all to the projects of street art in the courtyard of the Museum. Our pavilion is a wooden bathyscaphe, and through its portholes one can carefully observe art outside. A bench around the perimeter of the pavilion is also made for the convenience of observation in the warm season. Inside one may find everything needed to study contemporary art - an information point, a coffee point and a bookstore. The faceted ellipse shape stems from materials available and the simplicity of construction. All furniture is cut from plywood according to architectural drawings.
TUCHKOV PARK
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Saint-Petersburg, Tuchkov Buyan. 2020 Competition project. III prize. Our landscape park is a fantasy that brings together the history and future of the southern part of Petrogradsky Island by the head of Malaya Neva River. The abundant plant life and multi-layered space create a mystical contrast with the city and maintain a balance with its history and culture. The park opens up stunning novel views over St. Petersburg's famous architecture and forms a seamless link between the natural space and adjacent residential and business districts. Tuchkov Park's main purpose is to serve as a new way of looking at the city, to inspire, to soothe, and to tell the story of the future Northern Palmira. The proposed concept springs from invoking the unseen evidence of the past and transforming it into an archipelago of contemporary natural and functional spaces where everyone will find something to do. TUCHKOV PARK—more than meets the eye AB CHVOYA + DREAMERS UNITED + KARAVAN + JOHN LOOF GREEN

LIVE WITH WATER
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Meliz Akyol, Zeynep Küheylan, Ozan Şen, Rana Imam, Berna Yaylali, Gizem Aluçlu, Zehra Saday Aygün. Type: Restricted Urban Design Competition Client: IBB Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Location: Istanbul, Turkey Status: Second Award Period: April 2020 Establishing a design proposal based on the interpretations of multi-layered cartographic analyses, the research discovers that the main urban framework/ spatial organization of “street-gate-pier/port” structure not only still legible within the contemporary urban fabric but also, is the main operational infrastructure in which all layers of Haliç (transportation, ecological, urban memory or land use) are integrally converged. The streets leading to the old gates or piers are still the main embolos embodying the dynamic life of the city; and they still are the main channels conveying the rainwater as well as the winds of Istanbul. However, the surgical interventions of the 20th century industrialization detached and segregated the coastal portion of this spatial organization leaving an undefined, disconnected and fragmented shoreline fabric. Unearthing the neglected urban morphology of this Byzantine later Ottoman port city, the design proposal repairs and reactivates the “street-gate-pier/port” framework to induce possible scenarios formed on/around Haliç that foster the connection of the land and water; enhance the conversation between natural and human spheres; attempt to recover and recuperate its water ecologies; and probe the impact of climate change as well as the water level change at the intersection of socio-ecological, socio-cultural, socio-political and socio-spatial encounters of the 21st century. Aiming to restore and reactivate the water-land connection of Haliç, the design reproduces this characteristic spatial mechanism of " street-gate-pier/port " and strategically converts it into an open and participatory framework at the intersection of the individual and the collective; a dynamic, adaptive and reactive spatial system that operates through organization, legibility and directionality while allowing utmost flexibility for spontaneous, self-generated experiences emerged through the conversations of water and city. While inland eco-corridors of this framework revitalizes the embolos to devise connections from the inland to the sea, and from the sea towards the inland, the infrastructural re-creation corridor generates a coastal spine uniting all inland arteries. And lastly, uniting all layers of the framework for evolutionary development of Haliç with the city, digital interface corridor as an augmented environment of user interaction and data is designed to encourage citizen engagement and improvisation to amplify the experience of participatory public life.
BANDIRMA PARK
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Jose Luis Hidalgo, Meliz Akyol Type: International Urban Design Competition Client: BBB Balikesir Metropolitan Municipality Location: Bandirma, Turkey Status: First award Period: February 2017 - ongoing Project Development phase Emerging against a dramatic landscape in Marmara’s industrial hub- Bandirma, Design Park offers an exploration of opportunities with its diverse programmatic, ecologic and infrastructural inputs. This reclaimed area, from a former industrial/military periphery as a public park, carries the potential to be transformed into a predominant common ground for Bandirma and a regional attraction point in Marmara to respond to the processes of the expanding city and its pluralistic users. The assumed task here is to create links and let new realities emerge through establishment of connections and programs, allowing the park to be activated by new channels and networks between people, ecology and the territorial surroundings. Aiming to create an open, interactive, collective and productive focal point locally and regionally, the proposal introduces the design park as a research and testing ground for the participative future developments; and as an idea factory in the city of factories, where the citizens alongside the professionals can produce and share ideas for their city. To allow for testing of diverse ideas, the project operates at a multiplicity of programs by embracing incremental interventions that are strategically positioned and superimposed in the park. On the intersection of these superimposed program layers, the design institute diminishes the boundaries of landscape and edifices, works as a main hub, and acts as interfaces with the environment-whether mitigating or harnessing it- as a building, surface, or landscape. Taking advantage of all resources already available on/around site, the programmatic ground layers experiment strategies that can be implemented in the future development areas of the city. This intervention interprets the relaunch of expectations for the entire urban area and will contribute to the socio- economic development of the Bandirma and strengthen its attraction. As the programmatic layers are open for interventions of human activities or natural flows to absorb the ever-changing configurations, the design institute produces ideas collaboratively with the inclusion of human and natural spheres, thus, allowing for the design park to evolve reciprocally with the city.

Competition project Emerging against a dramatic landscape in Marmara’s industrial hub- Bandirma, Design Park offers an exploration of opportunities with its diverse programmatic, ecologic and infrastructural inputs. This reclaimed area, from a former industrial/military periphery as a public park, carries the potential to be transformed into a predominant common ground for Bandirma and a regional attraction point in Marmara to respond to the processes of the expanding city and its pluralistic users. The assumed task here is to create links and let new realities emerge through establishment of connections and programs, allowing the park to be activated by new channels and networks between people, ecology and the territorial surroundings. Aiming to create an open, interactive, collective and productive focal point locally and regionally, the proposal introduces the design park as a research and testing ground for the participative future developments; and as an idea factory in the city of factories, where the citizens alongside the professionals can produce and share ideas for their city. To allow for testing of diverse ideas, the project operates at a multiplicity of programs by embracing incremental interventions that are strategically positioned and superimposed in the park.
SWAP ON THE RIVER
Author: Openact Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Sara Palomar, Jose Luis Hidalgo. Type: Europan 13 International Competition Location: Zagreb, Croatia Status: First Award Period: July 2015 - ongoing Implementation Project (Phase 1) Project Development - City of Zagreb Expanding into the vast urban/suburban territories of Zagreb, Sava River runs through approximately 20 km adjacent to the city. Aiming to reintroduce the riverside to its inhabitants, the project examines four underused but critical sites and focus on the question of how intervention on four separate sites can have holistic effect to change movements and relationships of the entire river with the city. The project stands as an exploration of opportunities to experiment the effect of relatively small, soft and temporal interventions that are characterized by dynamism, immateriality, and indeterminacy. Therefore, the proposal introduces a framework of negotiation in which a constant conversation of the sites/their surroundings/programs is promoted through movement and exchange on/around the water. As the medium of this exchange, activator structures will be swapped/interchanged between the sites enhancing the east-west connection of the city through river. Consisting of nine structures with different roles and capabilities, the activators are pivotal for negotiation of programs, activities and goods in between the sites. By visiting each site and being carried through water, the activators foster conversation between the sites, convey programs from one to another, and adapt to the needs of the sites. While every single structure is able to host multiple activities through slight changes, combination of varying number of activators generate endless possibilities of events and uses.
KOREAN DIASPORA
Author: Openact Architecture Team: Carlos Zarco Sanz. Advisor: Nestor Montenegro Type: Research/Competition Location: New York, USA Status: Third award, Shortlisted. Period: March 2013 The enticing aspect of Korea town’s sense of place is its potential to form a community beyond its geographical limitations. The focus on Korean culture and multitude of social venues allows the space to be a site of social interaction connecting people together to form networks and cultivate the space. All the elements of the busy Korean street that apply to Manhattan’s 32nd street has the potential to act as more than just a commercialized recreation of Seoul, the Korea Town can also serve to support a community of Korean-Americans to connect with American society while maintaining ties with Korea. The project, at this point, aims to empower this connection between differences not only through commercialism and consumerism but encouraging cultural exploration of the Korean Culture, which the project avoids to define but leaves room for it to be brought and change. Since no one could know in advance the constantly shifting needs and desires of the users or how the future direction of Korean culture would be, the space needs to be continuously adaptable to a fluid program. Moreover, any attempt to define a specific program would foreclose on unforeseen developments and possibilities; therefore, the Korean Diaspora that inhabits incomings would acknowledge the inevitability of change, chance, and indeterminacy by incorporating uncertainties as integral to a continuously evolving process modeled after self-regulating organic processes. Considering the potential voids at the site, the two identical Boxes are placed on top the two existing buildings of Korea Way. To feed these public programmed spaces, the main public realm of the Korea Way, the street/sidewalks in particular, was required to be physically extended; however, this brought a challenge since the flow of the public realm is horizontal and the accesses to the Boxes are only through verticality. In order to solve this problem, two connector DEVICEs are developed as mediators. Although the strategy remains the same for the connection of the two Boxes to Korea Way, the tactics of the design vary as the project considers the local features of the plots. As socially interactive architecture, the project integrates concepts of technological interchangeability with social participation and improvisation as innovative and egalitarian alternatives to traditional free time and education, giving back to the public a sense of agency and creativity. The three-dimensional structure of the BOX is the operative space-time matrix of a virtual architecture. The variable ‘‘program’’ and form of the program are not conventional architecture but much closer to what we understand today as the computer program: an array of algorithmic functions and logical gateways that control temporal events and processes in a virtual device. The project does not really searches for a building at all but a vast, socially interactive machine, an improvisational architecture, constantly changing in a ceaseless cycle of assembly, dismantling and shifting. While bringing this flexibility, it creates a three dimensional space, but the components does not refer an aesthetic treatment rather the bare bones structural armature on which its interactive and fluid program could play out. It is primarily there to respond to the changing needs and desires of individuals, not to house prepackaged exhibits and events for a generalized public. Thus, the project can have a focus on communication rather than technology; or exchange rather than indoctrination. It can be a trading house rather than a trademark; an engine rather than an icon. - Third Award in the "International Architectural Thesis Award 2013" organized by Re-Thinking the Future in New York, USA. - Shortlisted in "Graduate Architecture Award 2013" organized by Graduate Architecture in Barcelona, Spain 2013.
PROTODIKE
Author: Openact Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Sara Palomar, Jose Luis Hidalgo. Type: Europan 13 International Competition Location: Streefkerk, Netherlands Status: Second award (Runner-up) Period: July 2015 Dikes in general draw a coastline as set by the boundary between water and land; this at once expresses and reinforces an attitude about the way that humans use and occupy littoral terrain, which privileges certain programs — while excluding the possibility of other programs — such as an economy based on the biological productivity of the fluctuating gradient of water/s or social daily life activities that can occur on/around the water. In Streefkerk as well, the boundary created by the dike is predominant and eliminates potential mutuality. Therefore, the proposal focuses on the reciprocal programmatic, economic, ecologic, socio-cultural relationships between land and water by asking ‘how an infrastructure to block, can be developed to connect’, and aims to utilize the resultant conversation central to organizing a prototype-PROTODIKE- infrastructure of an alternate urbanism and land use which can be adapted and implemented in varying locations for dike reinforcements in the Dutch Delta. To re-open the possibilities that a more complex understanding of the relationship between land and water would permit, the Protodike is established on two deceptively single moves of groins and stripes: while groins trigger an explosion of biodiversity and productivity by generating sedimentation in the inner bend, and also offer more space for water related public activities and water transportation, the stripes are formed through the dike rather than running parallel to the dike creating and initiating plots of encounters between water and land to conceive dynamic coexistence of diverse activities.
INDETERMINACY
Author: Openact Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz. Advisor: Neeraj Bhatia Type: Research Status: Published Period: August 2014 The rapid expansion of the cities in 20th century introduced the notion of indeterminacy within architecture and the city as the urban fields morphed into vast and increasingly pluralistic territories. The ability of architecture to determine the product has become so complex and dubious under the pressure of ever-changing sociopolitical, financial, technological or cultural demands that the architectural program became indeterminate, and shifted the role of architecture in the urban territory. The study focuses on a new role and relevancy for the architect who is confronted with an increasingly unpredictable globe and contingent city, and examines Koolhaas’s Parc de La Villete and Downsview Tree City projects which attempt to find a template to design with determinism that simultaneously responds to the diversity of the public sphere and metropolis. Throughout the history of architecture, the role of the architect has been to determine the lines to form the life on earth. In the past two centuries, however, it is inevitable to observe that as cities have rapidly expanded into vast urban territories that are increasingly pluralistic, the ability to determine such lines has become progressively more complex, as any architectural enterprise is subject to changing political, financial, technological and cultural demands. The influence of these ever-changing forces attempted to modify the initial program of the architectural product, in a way that, the notion of indeterminacy within architecture and the city not only halted the project of Modernism but also spawned several trajectories of design that embraced flexible, soft, dynamic and transforming systems to respond to the new needs of the expanding city and its pluralistic inhabitants....

ACTIVATING THE VOID
Author: Openact Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz. Advisor: Iñaqui Carnicero Type: Research/Competition Location: Madrid, Spain Status: First Award, Honorable mention Period: May 2013 In the current shifting economic and social context of Madrid, the public market of Cebada is one of the very central locations which was about to be privatized for a new shopping mall construction, but (fortunately) left half empty as the economic crisis hit the country. Although the place is poorly functioning as a market, the latest small interventions to the site by the artists and the neighbors proved that the area has a great potential as a node for generating activity, gathering its highly immigrant population for them to produce and share not only in economic means but also as a social center. This local movement led some artists and craft workers to use the closed kiosks for provocative art, workshops-stores and exhibition spaces, however, they have not been able to continuous as the current market building does not allow sufficient attention. Located in the center of the city -at the intersection of an immense urban potential and local qualities- the project investigates a strategic approach for la Cebada that can be applied to similar circumstances which need a review of the programmatic indeterminacy in an urban context and the contemporary public space. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE // Traces Of The Past To Enlight Future Emerging from a void of ancient Arab cemetery, the Plaza of Cebada was one of the major meeting points of the city as a market square in the sixteenth century when later the city became the capital of the Kingdom. Having dense social, cultural, economic, commercial activities throughout its history, this void functioned as the unifying element in Madrid and a generator of activity which was open to all citizens. However, as Madrid’s infrastructure began to develop with the industrialization and the railroad connections, the open market was transformed into a building to store and organize big amounts of products. This walled-up market building unfortunately neglected the public space losing the connection with the other squares/areas of the city [urban], and left the Plaza with a huge but poorly functioning market building serving only a small part of its close surroundings [local]. . Looking into the historic transformation of the site, one can interpret that the number of activities and the area’s programmatic flexibility decreased as the buildings conceived physical boundaries in and around the site. However, considering the current shifting / unpredictable economic circumstances of the city, a public urban realm is necessitated to be able to respond to any long or short term change or demand to continue functioning and serving for people. For this purpose, the project observes a huge potential of flexibility + connectivity of the site when it was used as a plaza and being a void in Madrid. Therefore, the question arises as: Would it be possible to transform El Mercado de la Cebada into Plaza de Cebada once again to reach maximum flexibility against indeterminant processes of Madrid and grasp an intersection point of local and urban? . STRATEGY OF THE VOID ACTIVATING THE VOID: The Negotiation Of The Two : Local & Urban Considering the local and the urban scale relations of the site, the project regains the “voidness of the site” to transform the site into a major public plaza once more, and maintain the main logistics and transportation infrastructure slab of the site alongside the characteristic dome structure to convey a historical layer of the market, but at the same time to take advantage of the potentials of the existing storage and service area that serves sufficiently for the local scale and for the kiosks. On the other hand, the program of the site should be compelling to and calling for a broader public around the city to regain the area as a major plaza of Madrid. Therefore, Cultural institutions and programs-library, museum, exhibition, art-creation spaces, free-time activity areas and platforms are introduced as the new cultural programs slab for public to embrace the area once more as a public plaza of the city. . . Through the interaction and negotiation of these two programmatic slabs, the varying programs under and on the void activate the plaza, in a way the building becomes an infrastructure for the site to regain its flexibility and despite its bigness it serves and allows the small moves, the changing activities and the manipulations of the user. This strategy of the void for a market place has the potential to become a solution for a very flexible and adaptable system as the concept of falling and rising activities may vary according to numerous scales and necessities of an open market meanwhile keeping all components of it holistic and legible within the main framework. . - First Award in "M.arts 2013 International Competiton" organized by Opengap in Madrid, Spain. - Honorable Mention in "Cebada Community Center International Competiton" organized by Archie in Madrid, Spain 2014.

SEVKABEL PORT ICE RINK
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Saint-Petersburg, Kozhevennaya linya 40. 2019 The skating rink by the sea in the Sevkabel space PORT is a small temporary seasonal project within the large-scale transformation of the territory of the historic Sevkabel manufactory. The structure of the rink derives from seaside location as well as from the industrial context. Almost rectangular ice field is tightly fit between the fence and the existing industrial building. In the center of the rink, preserved trees form a small round island, that naturally divides ice into several zones. At ground level, the ice field is connected with the existing building, where rental and locker rooms are located. In order to preserve the access to the embankment from the inside of the complex, a bridge was mounted over the ice exit, which not only connects different areas of Sevkabel PORT, but also serves as a viewing platform for observing skating rink and a picturesque sea panorama. Bright neon infographics contrast the restrained nature of the rink's architecture.

Type: National Architectural Competition Client: ITU Istanbul Technical University Location: Istanbul, Turkey Status: Proposal Period: November 2019 Developed for Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Business and Economics, the project goes beyond conventional engineering education paradigms and builds its conceptual framework through a pedagogical model parallel to the social and technological developments of the 21st century. In this context, the project considers the new building as a spatial counterpart and catalyst for the innovative education approach to be put forward; and reinterprets the given program in terms of spatial framework. The subjects such as engineering, economics, management, ergonomics and optimization in the educational content of the departments of the faculty support the formation of this context with their technical aspects as well as their social dimensions. The formation of the new Faculty of Business and Economics building develops in the focus of interdisciplinarity and multi-faceted thinking. This approach aims to take learning out of the “class / amphitheater” boundaries and prioritizes the continuity of access to information. Through contemporary understanding of this pedagogical model, the project focuses on the possibility of training professionals who can develop innovative suggestions instead of conventional solutions to different and complex engineering problems through social interaction and intellectual encounters as well as analytical development. Collective learning and sharing of information constitute the fundamentals of the spatial configuration of the project. Aiming to synthesize the learner oriented formal and informal education spaces, the project aims to explore the availabilities and the potential redefinition of 21st century university. The new faculty building becomes the architectural extension of the urban spine created in the campus scale proposal. The main building rises as a rational, refined and linear mass referring to the basic concepts of the project, and balances the perception of openness created on the urban scale. The elevation of the faculty visualizes an innovative educational institution within the visual memory of the city and Istanbul’s skyline as an accentuated landmark rising from the campus documenting the daily technological and social progress of its educational processes.
BEYOND THE CLOUDS
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Jose Luis Hidalgo. Type: Competition Location: Pesaro, Italy Status: First Prize Winner, Finalist Period: July 2013 The previous shipbuilding industry in Pesaro ceased in 2012 as the economic crisis in Europe shifted industrial economic focus of the city for a touristic investment. With these new developments, the new edge of the harbor has been realized to host a touristic port and left the harbor abandoned. Although this feature gives the site a strategic value and could make it the first and preeminent interface between the city and its tourists, such investments could have catastrophic consequences rather than sustaining the income of the city. Therefore, the project focuses on the specific existing features and equipment of the site to understand how the industrial past could have opportunities for a future tourism area. Beyondtheclouds stands as an exploration of opportunities as the shifting economic circumstances invite designers to a transformed disciplinary characterized by flexibility, dynamism, immateriality, and indeterminacy in response to such emergent variegations. The project aims to create working public architecture that operates at an urban scale considering its existing potentials and connections with the city while employing an incremental soft infrastructure to test a possible future program of the site and to support such an area of “fun to escape”. RE-FORM/RE-CESSION/RE-USE Although the termination of one program leads a new one, the project aims to “experiment” the change in the first hand rather than proposing a vast investment, and therefore, it investigates/considers/forces the potentials of the existing structures, tools, spaces in the site with nomadic/ephemeral/temporal solutions which may end up being stable at the site or suggest stable structures for themselves if the use is successful. This kind of nomadic urbanites is crucial for a transforming area since they provide a framework for investigating theories of spatial practices as a means of examining problems within contemporary urban societies. COLLECTIVE FRAMEWORK/INFRASTRUCTURE The new programmatic proposal for the site also brings the issue on how to address energy supports in a complex economy of entertainment, marine and tourism that relies upon this ecology. Therefore, beyondtheclouds proposes an infrastructure that aims to seam the production systems and vibrant cultures; this infrastructure offers a shape-shifting energy generation system of airborne turbines which is capable of harvesting renewable energy of wind power. While the system allows numerous ways to engage with the energy resources of the site as its moves become a public, dynamic, reactive, interactive performance; the shifting cloud/s it creates leads to a system that can also generate a collective framework ultimately avoiding the breakdown of its public sphere. As the weather changes, the site changes; being visible from many parts of the city, this public connection establishes itself as a leading destination for the urban community and visiting tourists alike. The proposal offers transformation of an ex- industry zone into a recreational zone supported by ecologic infrastructure; these often conflicting uses of space are intentionally overlapped with the design demonstrating that the combined advantages can be greater than the sum of otherwise individual parts. Beyondtheclouds is simultaneously a public space, a dynamic energy icon and an experiment in between the negotiation of economics, ecosystems and cultural values. - Winner of "Smart Harbor People's choice award / il Bel Porto" organized by YAC. 2014 - Finalist in "Smart Harbor International Competiton" organized by YAC Young Architects Program in Pesaro, Italy. 2013

Having served as the main coal mining sites and leading the country’s the steel production since the late 19th century, the area houses the remnants of the currently decomissioned industrial heritage, in addition to its unique geological and natural reserves. Osciliating between these two rather contradictory charactheristics of Kandilli, the visitor center creates an informative and collaborative space that will not only encourage the traveler to visit and learn about these destinations with the exhibition and resting spaces but also, devises a local community center with programs ranging from excursion routes, local products market to workshop spaces.
NOMAD PIERS
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Jose Luis Hidalgo. Type: Competition Location: Istanbul, Turkey Status: Honorable Mention Period: July 2013 Nomad Pier: Waterfront Community Centers for Migrants in Istanbul Standing on the conflux and being a global node where people, cultures and goods converge, Istanbul has become a land of intersections for several thousand years as a global ‘hinge’ city that connects civilizations and continents. From a distance, Istanbul is the immutable intersection of vast and diverse mobilities. It reaches across the East-West and the North-South axes of the world, and all their possible variants. Out of these histories of intersections comes the need to develop specific capabilities for handling and enhancing network functions; it is not simply a question of location at intersections. It seems that developing such capabilities across diverse histories and geographies is particularity a feature of Istanbul’s deep history. In time the city has developed itself from a city of passersby to a city of migration, and been able to inhabit many different cultures and create new cultures out of their synergies. On the other hand while the global economic networks and capital flows have generated many layers on the urban topography during its history, the flow of people has carried new skills, change and culture of plurality into the city. People who are migrating to Istanbul or migrating within Istanbul have articulated themselves on the constantly transforming layer of global and local intersections, and improved the ‘urbanness’ of Istanbul. All these movements and encounters have shaped the unique geopolitics and culture of Istanbul, and this culture has been continuing transforming as the water in between two continents continues the flux of actions, connects and merges changes. Although, today’s Istanbul faces migration based socio-cultural problems due to the failure of global economic networks to interconnect with the socio-geographic features of the city, Istanbul has the potential to bring up solutions in its history, sociologic formation, topography and ecology. One of the most obvious of Istanbul’s unique features is its geography. Topography is the strongest factor in Istanbul differentiating it from other global megacities. Steep hills, valleys, and the sinuous curves of the Bosporus dramatically shape the city’s urban pattern: its settlements and transport and even the ecology of the city. In Istanbul, the terrain creates the notion of orientation, almost inscribing a mental map of the city in the minds of its residents. Living in Istanbul one is constantly aware of water, a presence always in close proximity or just within view. One knows that the slopes of the valleys lead to the Bosporus or the Golden Horn. It is this presence of water straits and the city’s rising topography which makes the scene an omnipresent feature in the everyday life of Istanbul’s citizens, an urban feature accessible by the majority without any social or economic class differentiation. And it is not a single scene but a collection of scenes from numerous vistas thanks to the dynamic topography of the city. The ability to experience the city with the visual senses creates an awareness of the whole, as if the whole city were an enormous stage or collection of screens. Istanbul is not just a waterfront city; it is a city on water. Water had been always dominant in Istanbul’s life by being a defense element, a way for trade, a means of transportation, a source for industrial activities and a recreational element. Ports and piers were acting as encounter and interaction points, arrival nodes for migrants and a sign to realize being in Istanbul. The project “Nomad Pier” aims to benefit the potentials of water as an urban integration tool, welcome and embrace the immigration to Istanbul, create a network of community centers all around Istanbul waterfront to reach out as many as immigrant and multiply the number of intersections, activities, reproductions through the common object of Istanbul: water. Path Unlike the urban space proposals in western sources, in Istanbul the public space is nourished by the movement and happens on the flow rather than in a static place of accumulation. That is why the project creates a flow towards the urban integration element of the city, to the water by forming paths towards the sea. These paths are actually the extensions of the streets -the vital public spaces in Istanbul- to the sea; and by extending numerous paths onto the sea, the project aims to generate more intersection and encounters. The extensions grow as pier-like structures on the water and inhabit programs on it, and where the piers leave the land, the community center buildings are located as the gates to these platforms of share and production. Although the community centers and the piers are physically connected to each other by the walkways and roads on the shore and on the land in different parts in a more local scale, the piers are also aimed to be connected through the water in a more urban scale. Therefore, the very end of the pier acts as a floating platform that is able to visit the other piers and plug itself to those piers in order to exchange the happenings of different community centers. By doing that, the community center emerges as a space that can be used not only by the locals of the neighborhood but also by all the urbanites of Istanbul to create a platform for the integration of the migrants and the interaction between different cultures. On the other hand, the community center buildings located on these paths are designed as warehouse-like buildings that several platforms and volumes can be plugged in and out to dissolve into and build up from the programmatic landscape of the pier paths. As they are located on the rails of the paths/piers, it is possible to reproduce the building and adjust in each pier according to the user preferences with varying combinations and configurations. The mobile platforms and volumes can either be used as a part of the building or moved onto the pier; in a way the buildings act as stations for all the activities. While the building dissolves physically and programmatically to activate the pier, it also constantly changes with the feedbacks from the pier. Rather than equalizing the differences, the pier and the building reproduce themselves from the interactions and intersections of the city.

MERCATECA
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Carlos Zarco Sanz, Jose Luis Hidalgo. Type: Competition Location: Reinosa, Spain Budget: 949.302,03 € Period: November 2013 Reflecting the general characteristics of Spain’s industrialization era of late 19th and early 20th century, Reinosa rooted its population growth and drastic urban transformation in the strong industrial activity located adjacent to the city. As a consequence of the industrial restructuring that took place in the 1980s, the city has witnessed significant declining population figures. Demographic change, advanced de-industrialization, the recent financial crisis, and job losses pose specific challenges for a small size city like Reinosa. Witnessing, and most importantly representing all the peaks and valleys of the past socio-economic and cultural transformations of the city, it seems that the Mercado de Abastos almost converted into a common object which reflects and announces the shifts and the changes in Reinosa to its public; therefore, it is inevitable to think that the transformation of this place might also generate a feedback to the city and trigger new socio-economic developments for the future. Connectivity is key to relate this slightly remote region of the country in a new way to the national and global economy. At this point, advanced information technology/broadband offers the chance to reduce some of the disadvantages that come with low population density and distance from cities, without becoming more urban or sacrificing quality of life. It can improve competitiveness by giving local firms direct access to customers and tying them into information about markets, suppliers, technology and government regulations while retaining the youth by introducing this more youth friendly feature as it is based on youth oriented recreation, new technology and able to provide better and variable educational facilities. Therefore, the regional government shall assist local councils to develop information, services, training activities about IT on-line marketing, e-commerce, on-line education and distant-working, and improve community spirit, leadership, and partnerships. . Avoiding the population decline: Economic diversity Aiming to maximize the social benefit of the project by introducing this action model, Mercateca has the immense potential to become a triggering pilot project in Reinosa. Such intervention would be able build a more collaborative framework and lead urban scale effect as this development would require the participation of all kinds of inhabitants of Reinosa. By including a series of diverse programs and activities the project aims to attract various age groups and people, conceive a meeting and melting point for the citizens; thus, trigger collaboration in between experience & technology, past & contemporary, and existing & potential. To inhabit this congestion of program within the boundaries of the limited budget, the project considers the potential of the previous use: Market. Markets are traditionally the most productive and dynamic places in our cities, where the exchange of news, politics and gossip takes place and where people solidify the social ties that are essential to a healthy society. Markets as public space where multiple forms of sociality are enacted, represent a significant public and social space for different groups in the locality as a site for vibrant social encounters, for social inclusion and the care of others. . Therefore, Market as a scheme has the ability to incorporate and unify many different people, as well as many different programmatic units; this scheme can tolerate changes within the years while maintaining the overall organization of its space to generate a collective framework. By mixing all these programs in a market framework, creating strong urban/exterior connections, the place can then assure its endurance (unlike the previous termination), become a generator of activity open to all citizens and trigger new socio-economic and cultural shifts in Reinosa.
DE-TOXICITY
Author: OPENACT Architecture Team: Zuhal Kol, Rodney Bell, Julia Gamolina Advisor: Neeraj Bhatia Type: Research Location: Quissamã, Brazil Period: December 2012 www.petropia.org The question no longer resides in the idealism of should we build on and around such sites as estuaries, river deltas, wetlands, tidal marshes, et cetera; rather, the question is how can we urbanize such ecologically critical territories utilizing scalar processes and strategies which opportunistically manage risks through a hybridization of industrial and ecological processes. “Detoxi-city” proposes a co-opting and coupling of hydrological flow to oil refinement and processing in order to both contain, cleanse, and reintroduce waters that have been used and affected by the industrial processes proposed for the site. Infrastructures of contamination management that initially serve the oil industry will eventually serve the hydrological flow from tidal flux, seasonal flooding, surrounding estuaries and tributaries acts. The hydrological “input” will eventually be the basis of an emergent aqua-culture industry. Hydraulic detoxification constitutes this proposal, creating housing islands, wetland and aquacultural ‘bars’, and the infrastructural conduits. These systems mutually reinforce the overall strategies of detoxification, containment, coexistence and conversion. The surrounding boundary interiorizes of the city (housing, industry, infrastructure, production, et cetera), but becomes increasingly ambiguous over time because of the hydrological processes, which shape the site. Program is organized in to bars, creating corridors perform urbanistically as connectors, where circulation cross cuts the bar’s logic and people can gather as they move through the city, differentiating “Detoxi-city” from usual company-towns by treating industrial space as public space. These flexible, programmed corridors provide the foundation for a new public space and more sustainable industry once the oil production is phased out. The wetlands serve to cleanse both toxins and biological waste for the city. The aquaculture bars—for both fish farming and paddy farming—lay the foundation for a new more sustainable industry while also cleaning and preparing water for reuse. The programs and their adjacencies in plan were chosen in order to maximize the cleansing of water at this ecologically critical juncture. Beyond these more pragmatic concerns, however, these programs provide the foundation for a new public space and more sustainable industry once the oil production is phased out. The wetlands serve to cleanse both toxins and biological waste for the city. The aquaculture bars—for both fish farming and paddy farming—lay the foundation for a new more sustainable industry while also cleaning and preparing water for reuse. Along with the contaminants produced industry and the biological waste produced by industry, there exists a constant need for dredging at the port to maintain water depths in the canal and port and to replenish the breakwater which will be inevitably eroded by ocean currents. Thus, the wetland bar adjacent to the interior port on the site is dedicated to the cleansing of dredge material such that it may be redeployed throughout the site for various uses. Detoxi-city proposes more productive modes of urbanization that deal with the material realities of contemporary urbanism. However, as these realities are a starting point, Detoxi-city projects the possibility for a new public, emerging productively from such private developments as oil refinery towns and fully engaging with the infrastructure which constitutes the urban realm. Far from the first generation of hard infrastructure constructed during the New Deal era, these infrastructures are responsive to ecological, environmental, economic and social variation over time. Moreover, beyond merely being sublime impositions on the landscape—the taming of nature—these new infrastructures provide a space of cultural production—a space for citizen engagement and interaction on productive terms. -Developed as part of "The Petropolis of Tomorrow" research project. -Exhibited at the Buenos Aires Architecture Biennale XIVBA 13 at The SAP Project section.
BOLSHAYA MORSKAYA STREET
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Saint-Petersburg, Russia. 2019 Competition first prize. AB CHVOYA + AM TRIA part of Bolshaya Morskaya Street, located between Nevsky Prospekt and the Arch of the General Staff Building in Saint-Petersburg, is a small yet important part of the main city ensemble and the threshold of Palace Square. We consider new design of Bolshaya Morskaya Street as an important, but relevant and respectful transformation. The project method is a minimal change in the existing situation. Existing streetlights are saved. Single-leveled paving defines different functional zones by the paving types: small granite blocks adjacent to the buildings; granite plates for the entrances to the buildings and terraces of the cafe; patterned paving in the central part of the street. It is supposed, that the space of Bolshaya Morskaya Street can be used, among other things, as the semantic entrance hall of the Hermitage Museum under the open sky. The paving pattern of the central part refers to the parquet floors of Hermitage enfilades. The beginning of the pedestrian part is marked by a small flat fountain. AB CHVOYA + AM TRI
La piazza come tela bianca
Author: SuperSpatial For the station square of Podgorica, Montenegro, the Milanese studio SuperSpatial has imagined a conceptual space, but also in a strong relationship with the city A blank canvas for public life. This is how the Milanese studio SuperSpatial describes its project for the renovation of the unpronounceable Golootočkih žrtava square in front of the Podgorica station (Montenegro). The purpose of the intervention, awarded in competition, is to restore the square's vocation as a public space, a link between the infrastructure and the city . For this reason the architects have imagined the area as a large continuous surface that lends itself to the most diverse uses. The relationship with the context takes place in two different and antithetical ways: in some points the pavement folds and covers the buildings it encounters, generating scenographic and monumental urban scenes; elsewhere it dematerialises by connecting to the neighborhood through the system of green spaces. The neutral surface is punctuated by a regular mesh, an echo of radical Italian architecture, which helps measure the extent of the completely pedestrian space. Vehicle traffic is in fact managed on the lower level, where there is also a commercial area. «The challenge is to design a space capable of giving a vision of the future for Podgorica», say Andrea Govi and Antonio La Marca, founders of the studio. «The project we have created represents the first transformation scenario». In fact, the proposal does not only concern design, but a strategy for the development and expansion of public space which sees the area gradually transform into a business district with an international vocation.
SANTECHPRIBOR FACTORY RENOVATION
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Kazan, Admiralteyskaya sloboda. 2019 Competition project. Special mention. Manufactory. Our project is an attempt of careful and attentive approach to the site. We tried to invent such a method, that can be successfully applied both for the renovation of Soviet industrial constructions and pre-industrial era buildings. We keep all the buildings on the site and fill them with new content. In Soviet buildings, we preserve the bearing structures of the buildings and various communicating spaces in between. In brick buildings of the pre-industrial period, we preserved the outer shells, turning them into containers for gardens. Functional content of the plot derives from the rich industrial history of the place and is based on the idea of creating a full-fledged light-industrial cluster with all the necessary infrastructure. The creation of such a center of production - manufactories will give necessary impulse to the development of the surrounding territories, primarily the northern part of the design site.
SEVKABEL PORT
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Saint-Petersburg, Kozhevennaya liniya 40. 2019 This is a big coastal development project for the historic Sevkabel factory (Siemens & Halske), situated on Vasilyevsky Island. Dealing with an existing environment, we focused our efforts on the renovation and adaptation of existing buildings, as well as on the preservation of the industrial genius loci. This approach allowed us to emphasize the existing features of the site, including some of the industrial artefacts. We chose black raw metal and plain wood as basic materials, and all design solutions are as simple as possible and use industrial materials and aesthetics. The functional infill of the buildings is truly diverse, all of the residents were carefully selected by the project team in such a way, that all of them are involved in the renovation process. The Sevkabel PORT project is a process and represents the development perspective of the entire coastal industrial zone of this area. Former industrial site turns into a multifunctional cluster for everyone, and a place where the city meets the sea.
HOUSE FOR TWO ARTISTS
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Roschino, Leningradskaya oblast'. 2018 Grand prix 2018 ADD Awards This is a house for the family of two artists in Roschino, sixty kilometres from Saint-Petersburg. The house is located on the edge of a settlement, just by the forest. The plot is a bit sloped, it is completely covered with conifer trees and has two anthills on it. The position and dimensions of the building are predefined by the environment. A long narrow volume of the house is placed in such a way that it preserves all the flora and fauna of the site. The house is 30 by 5.5 metres in size. It consists of a studio and a residential part separated by a transit porch. The residential part consists of an entrance area, a kitchen-living-dining area, two bedrooms for children and guests and a master bedroom. Sleeping places in small rooms are located on the mezzanine. Above the master bedroom, in an only protrusion, there is a space for yogic meditation. Following the plot's slope, the floor level rises from the workshop to the bedrooms, while the roof level is set constant. The roof slopes to the south, so as to provide northern exposure to mezzanines in the bedrooms and the studio. Exterior of the house is faced with carbonized wooden planks.
WOODEN OFFICE
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Saint-Petersburg, Olgino. 2018 The client's wish was to move their rather big company, which had been occupying several offices in the downtown, into a single building in one of the city's green outskirts. The narrow flat site has its southern short side for a street frontage, and is clearly visible from a railway line behind the street and a busy motorway behind the railway. The necessary offsets and height restrictions form the three-storeyed oblong volume of the building. Twelve rigid frames of engineered wood (12 by 12 metres each) compose its structural skeleton. The long lateral walls are clad with brick. The frontal facade is entirely glazed and in the evening it resembles a large showcase, which attracts an immediate attention to the building in the street panorama. The 3,6 metres spacing of structural frames allows a flexible approach to layout. The southernmost unit is left empty to form a loggia. All MEP ducts and pipes are part of the interior. All partitions are of glass except for small technical and service rooms.
PALACES OF CULTURE
Author: Architectural bureau CHVOYA Moscow region, Russia. 2018 Competition project Competition project for renovation of Palaces of culture of the Moscow region. Grid - the main idea of style. Pegboard - embodiment of the basic idea of design. Our proposal is a change in the functioning of Palaces of culture. Single-function auditorium becomes a universal space - inner square or a city living room. The central position of the hall in the building becomes an advantage of the planning scheme. All functions, clubs, classes and classrooms are accessible from the hall, which has become a "mixing chamber" of visitors and a meeting place for everyone. AB CHVOYA + Katya Zubkova + Alexey Onatsko

The Animbigo Lake Villa, Lake Nipigon Canada
Author: Ez Sbini The Animbigo Lake Villa, Lake Nipigon Canada. The concept of the project is inspired by the historical farming terraces of Italy, I wanted to keep the whole natural surroundings untouched while introducing foreign plants variations which will be planted on the villa's terraces and roof. The front facades will be completely glass with full visibility to the astonishing Nipigon lake and will achieve the desired goal of sustainability by reducing energy consumption and maximizing sunlight exposure. For the interior I kept the backside completely merged with the environment, However, I decided to keep the front facade with minimal architectural contrast to reduce the manmade structure effect on the surrounding environment. The design as whole is a concept idea assisted by ai and post production tools to render the shown results.
