ArchMoscow 2008 ran-up the model

This is the model of future skyscraper. It is not block of flats, actualy, it is block of houses. Every one thing of this building is realy separate house, made in it's own style. One of them is poor, next one is gold, another one is in ancient style. It has enough space for wind of fresh area, gardens on each levels or cuple of trees. This idea copy traditional russian house built from logs. But in this model log construction rises to clouds.

IMM Cologne 2010 Koln exhibition

This year it was smaller and simple. Big brands surprised nothing. Most often question is, are they still alive and sound? But has not strong concepts and fresh ideas. Owners see to visitors woeful eyes and stay proud being there, sometimes presenting empty space.

_ Lago Maggiore first look of the site and first ideas

The site situated far deep in mountains, far of Lago, 700 m. above sea-level, and 500 m. above the lake. But it has nice view directly to Lago Maggiore, in this moment it is cloudy. All area built on rural tradition houses, but out of the 300 m. area around the lake possible to build exactly what you whant. Any style and any design. So, becouse of our first impressions of this site, idea of water flows goes from top of the mountain, appear. Big rock on the site allow us create something with suspended parts. In consort with Anna Sokolova.

Parthenon rebuilding overlook

I was forty when I first time seen Parthenon in live. I was surprised, it is under reconctruction. Since 1975... Big kran still stands inside the temple, marble block das't has order and stored everywhere around... In ancient time it was build in ten years, without mashins, kran, computers and historikal investigations, of course. I guess it is to slow and endless. But Parthenon is allways perfect, in spite of condition, thanks to Iktinos and Kallikrates.
