Our mission is to delicately and sensually approach the issue and create a space that epitomizes the culture and tradition of wine, while maintaining a harmony with the surrounding nature.
The genuine architectural answer to the challenge comes through the perception of the vineyards as a natural hillside park-garden. The goal of our project is to transform the vineyards into a unique landscape garden.
Therefore, we do not divide the territory into vineyards and building, but immerse the building itself in this garden of vineyards, thus creating the ultimate synergy of park-garden and building-pavilion, diving into the culture of wine on 360 degrees and finding inspiration in this world of scenic beauty

Therefore, we do not divide the territory into vineyards and building, but immerse the building itself in this garden of vineyards, thus creating the ultimate synergy of park-garden and building-pavilion, diving into the culture of wine on 360 degrees and finding inspiration in this world of scenic beauty
By immersing the building in the very center of nature, we create not just an architectural object, but an entire space that combines functionality and aesthetics. The single-storey glass pavilion, nestled in the heart of the hill, linking two points to the road, becomes not only an essential part of the garden, but also gently emphasizes the historical architecture of the existing building.
The pavilion provides a new linear route within the vineyards with a series of essential internal functions such as: reception areas, an area for the sale of local products and wines, a small restaurant with tasting room and kitchen-bar with space for storage and display of bottles and barrels, a flexible multifunctional area for cultural events, an office and conference room for the administrators.
This approach will not only enrich the tourist appeal of the place, but will also open new horizons for true wine connoisseurs. The interactivity of this space, maximized by the continuous interaction with the surrounding landscape, will be a vivid example of the union of the contemporary and the historical, giving a distinctive flavor to this astonishing place.

The Uspenskoe estate is located in Odintsovo district, along the Rublyovo-Uspenskoe highway, on the right bank of the Moskva River. In conjunction with the cultural heritage objects of the adjacent territories: estates and churches and historical territories of Zvenigorod, it forms a valuable historical and cultural environment along the banks of the Moskva River within the boundaries of Odintsovo.
«Uspenskoe» is a whole «living organism» that has a heart. It is the castle, genis loci, which through centuries has survived and built its atmosphere around itself. And if there is a heart, there must be other elements of the complete organism: the head — the place of intellectual development and science, the body — the place of filling with energy and strength, and the soul — the place of mental and cultural growth, the place of new emotions.

«Uspenskoe» is a whole «living organism», with its own heart, head, body and soul. This principle is fully revealed in the functional model of the territory:
Heart. The element that unites through layers of history, genius loci
Head. The place of intellectual development and science.
Body. The place of filling the body with energy, strength and health.
Soul. The place of spiritual and cultural growth, a place of new emotions.
This approach is primarily focused on the comprehensive development of users, maximizing their potential. Each object on the territory of Uspenskoe estate has a function of one of the constituent parts of this complex approach.

So the «head» is the building of the medical block, where the innovation center and educational cyber-club will be developed.
The «heart» of the project is the building of the historical manor, which contains the history and spirit of the place.
The «body» will be freestanding non-capital objects where people can engage in sports and spiritual practices.
All parts of the territory are connected by a single eco-trail «Soul», which symbolizes the path of each visitor. This path allows a person not only to acquire new practical skills, but also to be spiritually enriched by visiting the territory and enjoying the nature of the estate.

Moscow Golf Club is located in the Ramenki district. Around the golf club is the territory of the historical area of Troitse-Golenishchevo, and next to it Troitse-Golenishchevo oldeners of the Setun River. The Setun River Valley Nature Reserve is located to the northwest of it.
A general concept in the shaping of the forms of these buildings is the simplicity of the content, expressed in the monotony but not impersonality of the facades, as well as in the sloping roofs, which respond to the conception of mimicry to the landscape of the place.
The conceptual revitalization of the golf club includes the construction of several building blocks and the renovation of the main attractor of the area — the clubhouse. Buildings of various scales and impact on the area have been developed. Six structures and one large clubhouse revitalization project. The architecture of the clubhouse is the biggest visual spot of the golf club.
Therefore, its outline mimics the landscape. The renovation of this building is formed by removing all the existing walls and roof, leaving only the structural frame. All other buildings are shaped in their massing and architecture purely based on the function of internal infill and external content, to support the context rather than argue with it.

The project area is located in Moscow on Vereyskaya Street. The area is bounded by: from the north — Vereyskaya Plaza 3, from the east — Aminievskaya Electric Depot, from the south — the future territory of the school, from the west — urban block UB 9 — VEER.
UB9A is a complex of multi-level towers-sections with variable storeys from 6–75. This feature allows the complex to be dynamic, to have an attractive silhouette from different viewpoints and distances of perception. The facade solutions are restrained, but at the same time have a bright shade of «nickel», which emphasizes their architectonics.
Stylistics: modern architecture, characterized by its minimalism, and at the same time its expressiveness. Due to the plasticity of the facade — the opening of the volume to the upper floors, like a «fan» creates unique views from the corner windows of panoramic glazing.
Floor-to-ceiling windows vary in configuration, from straight-line windows with sliding sashes and a French balcony to corner windows with additional viewing characteristics.

One of the cultural symbols of Gyumri city is the square at the intersection of Mayakovsky and Shaumyan streets.
However, there are some restrictions — challenges — for the manifestation of the potential of this place.
The first challenge that arises here is inaccessibility. Now the site is enclosed on the perimeter by trading stalls, which exist chaotically and are unceremoniously expanding.
Also the level of waste collection management is extremely poor, so the site generates a lot of garbage.
The next problem is the lack of vegetation, which is necessary for a comfortable stay in the city.

Due to the erratic development, there is also no easy permeability of the neighborhood.
The last point is the facade line. It should not be disturbed for a holistic image of the street. The existing neighborhood development already sets the right scale and dimensions.
We mentally cleared the area and thought about what the place could become.

We mentally cleared the area and thought about what the place could become.
It is an significant point of social, cultural and domestic life. It is important to leave the semantic and social connections, but to correct the chaotic and littered location.
It is necessary to organize the erratic development and create a comfortable passage through the street for people.
The place should acquire a new life for all layers of citizens: adults with children, teenagers, pensioners, tourists. Also, the place has an established social and behavioral model and in order to attract local merchants to the new market, it is necessary to come up with an accessible and understandable system for them, making this place open and available to all.

Also, the place has an established social and behavioral model and in order to attract local merchants to the new market, it is necessary to come up with an accessible and understandable system for them, making this place open and available to all.
The story of the local market is the story of an elderly farmer who patiently grows vegetables on his land, then takes them to the market to sell, where he rents space for a small fee. We believe this farmer's narrative should continue in the new market.
Our idea is to preserve the established positive practices and eliminate the negative ones.
There is an established social and behavioral model here, which should not be broken, but only enriched, organized and modernized to meet the existing realities and needs of the present day.
The culinary school will stand in the heart of this place to be the nucleus of the history of the market and at the very center of events.
We divide the existing market into food and non-food and since the food type predominates, it becomes a market and a plaza, while the non-food is structured into a transformed shopping street.

Three levels appear. The first with a market and plaza, the second with restaurants and stores and the third with an open roof garden.
The level system evolves around the volume of the culinary school. Access to any level is via extensive ramp streets, elevators and staircases. Each level is a structure of atriums, patios and terraces. They are supported by freely spread columns and create a flexible system.
This free and light structure is filled with vegetation, in its tubs.The structure is maximally mobile and transformable — a sustainable synthesis of architecture and nature.
Visitors freely flow through to the urban level. From here it is also possible to access the culinary school. Visitors are then distributed to the rest of the levels upstairs.
Each level has its own program, and the last level has an open garden with a view of Gyumri.

The open structure allows natural ventilation and sunlight penetration into the interior of the entire structure and culinary school building. In addition to aesthetics, the living shell provides natural shading during the warmer months, creating a buffer to stabilize the temperature and humidity inside.
We are proposing to create an accessible and convenient structure on this place — a point of attraction for Gyumri.

As well as public functions including child development center with gymnastics premise, martial arts hall and a city cafe inside an existing brick building. In front of the child center is the urban hub — the meeting place and center of attraction of the district. Along the most active pedestrian and transport ways stylobate accomodates commercial functions as well as carpark for complex residents.
Project area is located in Novo-Savinsky district in Kazan.
The goal was to create a unique middle-class segment residential complex, which will reflect a dynamic pace of young people and become a new bright symbol of the district, relevant to contemporary trends and standards of life.

The mission was to delicately introduce apartment complex into the environment and topography of the area and create a new modern symbol of place.
The concept was based on Kbaade (abkhaz. Гебаадеы, Gwbaadwy, adyghe. Iаткъуадж, ‘atquaj) — an ancient name of a settlement located on a site of present-day urban-type settlement Krasnaya Polyana — «glade of the central fortress». That's why the architecture resembles a system of clusters consisting of towers, walls, closed contours of fortresses.
The project area consists of 5 autonomous clusters that divide the site of different zones. Vehicular access to the area is provided from Kalinovaya street, and a newly designed road layout from the south. Public and commercial functions are located primarily on Kalinova street to provide convenient access for all citzens and residents of the apartment complex. In the southern part of the area more private fetures are located, accessible only for complex residents. Landscaping is divided into different levels of privacy: within the clusters where the lobby and apartments entrances are located — more calm and quiet areas with «inner courtyards», spaces for relaxation, meditation walks.

The buildings of the factory are self-contained, they are mesmerizing evidences of past times, when even industrial buildings sought their own monumentality and beauty. The major aspiration of us is to bring the possibility of versatile use each of the spaces of the former factory complex not affecting the history of the site and the layering these buildings has.
To breathe new life without taking away the existing genius loci.
To breathe new life without taking away the existing genius loci.
The design is aimed at maximum sustaining of the exterior with localized dismantling of superfluous layers in the interiors — preservation of the existing building — adding new elements with a wide variability for multipurpose use. Making a synergy of new and old with a very reverent relationship between them both is crucial for the design.
The honest architectural response to the problems at hand comes through the creation of a patchwork quilt. This quilt is represented as a fusion of a large overhanging structure between the buildings with its continuations as a soaring path over the stream and a way rising upstairs to the second floor of the building.

Entering the site of the former factory, one may be beckoned by a ramp to the second floor or by a multi-height structure, and going even deeper one may come across a bridge overhanging the river.
The large versatile construction is fit respectfully between two blocks of the factory, not touching the buildings themselves at all. It has its own freestanding structure and foundation. And it performs as a transparent exoskeleton assembled of plexus of wooden, metal, cable-stayed elements with the possibility of using it as:
· Amphitheatre for cinema, lectures, events;
· A place for gatherings and meetings;
· Multi-level podium for temporary
exhibitions.

In addition, that the construction between the existing buildings like all the spaces of the former factory offers wide variety of scenarios for use, its structure also makes it possible to hang billboards, information stands, posters or even to exhibit art pieces on the construction itself.
The essential principles of the interior solutions are the delicate interventions of «soft» elements into the peeled «shell» of the former factory and the integration into its existing layout. It is significant to highlight the contrast that these elements have only a temporary character, while the spirit of the place with its timeless unique layering will retain its independence for a long time to come.
One of the noticeable «soft» elements is the «box» embedded between the columns. It is a permanent display — which tells the story of local wool processing traditions through a lens of allegorical storytelling. The whole process of wool production is presented as a dance of different air masses, holograms, mesmerizing and affecting on sensory perception of the person passing through the «box».
Thus, the whole complex of the former factory buildings becomes a new vibrant cultural platform for Biella with up-to-date technologies, though leaving the spirit of the place undisturbed. It celebrates the traditions and craftsmanship of the region via a completely new format.

The mission was to delicately introduce 5-family clubhouse into the situation.
The building is portrayed as secret enclosed house within a dense urban openness. Its archetype served as an indispensable element of the practical inhabitant of similar houses of the past time, which stored and concealed all the personal affairs of the citizen — secrétair. Its structure fully describes the image of the house and its scenography gradually revealing itself to the resident and the guest.
The residental apartments on the floors are positioned so that one of the apartments opens on to Bol'shoy Kozikhinskiy pereulok, while the other opens onto the opposite side. Therefore both apartments receive the same amount of insolation indexes and open to the south in the same way, however each apartment still has its own highlight of opening to either side depending on the nature of the acquirer.
The penthouse on the top floor, on the other hand, lies on all of the cardinal directions and embrace the core of the building in the form of staircase-elevator unit. Moreover, the penthouse has its own terrace opening towards Bol'shoy Kozikhinskiy pereulok, as well as exploited roof with recreational areas and frontal greenery.
The «Bread Place» project is located in a unique corner of Krasnoselsky district, but its spirit could easily blend into the atmosphere of Basmanny District. On the historical ground where the freight yards of the railroad station used to stretch, a hub was born, receiving cargoes of grain and similar goods.
Following the principles of the amphitheater, our complex is formed of three main zones: the «front stage» along the Third Ring Road, the «parterre» and the «mezzanine».
In the area of the front stage we envision a public-business complex. It includes a unique bread food market, a local theater, which may become a continuation of the history of the Electroteater, flexible spaces for offices and co-working, a fitness complex and various retail opportunities. On the parterre and mezzanine of the complex, the tallest buildings offer business- and premium-class housing, creating a refined silhouette inspired by the natural contours of the city. At the foot of the complex is a school with unique architectural solutions and three kindergartens.

Surrounded by the mountainous terrain in the depths of the Chinese province of Rushan the Rural Arts Museum will create an atmosphere of communion with the genuine of folk arts and local nature.
Local myths tell us about the landscape as the act of love between goddesses and our aspirations were to save this love as it has always been and the new volume of architecture drowns between the winding hills. That is why a precisely responsive task was to fit into the surroundings and to lead a conversation in the language of contemporary architecture, respecting the history of the site without denying the context.

That is why a precisely responsive task was to fit into the surroundings and to lead a conversation in the language of contemporary architecture, respecting the history of the site without denying the context.
The main entrance is emphasized with a narrow passageway, penetrating the volume of the building and mysteriously inviting a visitor to come in. The foyer overlooks the inner garden and the amphitheatre, leading downwards to the library, workshops and cafe. Narrow skylights add seclusion to subterranean spaces.
The leitmotif of the internal space — its fluidity — offers self-contained scenarios for exploring and experiencing the museum.
The itinerary embodies the museum itself: movement, discovery, stage and theatrical possibilities. The routes of exposure gather strength by incorporating nature. After all getting to know the museum is getting to know the authentic landscape of this province All the museum spaces recreate different shades of the local environment: gardens, sand dunes, hills, bulky green areas. It gives such an organic quality to them. It is also crucial that going deeper into the exposition is understood as an ascent, a repetition of the landscape. The ramps encircling the galleries create inclusivity of all the spaces flowing into each other.
Continuous paths and flexibility of exhibition spaces, its’ versatility and closed-loop ramps in the volume of the museum allow, depending on the aims of expositions, to realize series of autonomous exhibitions without violating the idea of continuity.

Continuous paths and flexibility of exhibition spaces, its’ versatility and closed-loop ramps in the volume of the museum allow, depending on the aims of expositions, to realize series of autonomous exhibitions without violating the idea of continuity.
Just observing only one part of the gallery or the entire exposition visitors will never find themselves in a dead-end space and there will be no need for them to go back through the gallery halls intentionally - the space itself will lead the visitor along new paths both to the beginning of the next exposition, with which they are only to get acquainted, and to the main foyer after the end of the visiting.
The performance hall is a special significant part of the museum and it is a place where visitors will be able to spectate the phantasmagoria of dancing. The amphitheatre for the audience is flanked by narrow galleries leading to the backstage, where another performance hall awaits the visitors - more mysterious, behind-the-scenes, concealed.
The motif of the Yangko procession through the villages is reflected in the configuration of the museum. The building is adapted for a performance procession «from a village on the way to another one». From the galleries on two levels overlooking the intimate inner garden, the spectators will be able to watch the procession arising from the darkness of the backstage, flowing into the exterior of the long courtyard and disappearing into the underground gloom.
The administrative block is the only vertical dominant of the structure. It is a separated volume united with the museum by levels below the ground. Therefore they will directly connect the block with the underground storage and with all levels of exhibition and performance halls.

The materiality of the architecture refers to the genuineness, uniqueness and authenticity of stone, earth, grass and rough origins of nature.
The building is designed using rammed clay with local eco-concrete structural elements. The climatic conditions and the fact that the building is predominantly buried underground make it possible not to insulate it and not to add finishings, making the building as environmentally friendly and energy efficient as possible.

The apartment complex is located in close proximity to the Dilijan Nature Reserve, in suburbs of the city of Dilijan, Armenia. It is surrounded by mountainous landscape, and every window opening offers an impressive view towards the national park.
The complex is located on a hill, at an altitude of about 1700 meters above the sea level, among dense woods, in a secluded serenity, far away from the urban bustle and dynamic life. The complex itself is barely visible among the woods, it is delicately embedded in the natural context.

The site is distinguished by a steep terrain, sharply descending from the peak of the mountain slope. Such environment requires a precise and tactful approach for working with the terrain, either it appeals to the region’s historical past and its local context. Armenia is widely known for its mountain settlements with large complexes on steep mountainsides.
During our work the team researched traditional fortresses, monasteries and residential structures, figuring out the local morphotypes and identical artifacts of the region. Some of these evidences built up the basis for further concept.

The complex represents the series of apartments buildings consisting of 5 wings with variable hights, from 3–6 levels located on the terrace principle on the active landscape.
Like monolithic monastic walls the architecture suddenly emerges from the mountain slopes, following the natural landscape. Massing follows the aspirations for delicacy and strictness of clear forms and lines — the volumes slenderly and stepwise climb up the hillside. Large panoramic glazing adds lightness and ethereality to the silhouette, creating the effect of immersive presence and dissolution into the landscape. The galleried apartment blocks are oriented towards the natural reserve with loggias.
The clear façade lines are supported by the light texture of local burnt wood used as finishes.

In addition to the intention of creating intimacy and sense of unity with nature, the program of the complex offers to its residents a variety of public spaces in the lobbies on the every first floors of the buildings, as well as the spa center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools with a terrace overlooking the natural reserve.
Project area is located in Lubimovka village in Sevastopol. On the west side it's divided into two parts by natural moat, which sometimes is filled with water, ahd also serves as a firewater storage tank. On the east side the area is empty and sandy, and on the west side is covered with medium growth trees and shrubs.
The architecture resembles a molten rocky reefs that were sharpened by time and seawater. Landscape structure consists of artificial hills, hiding carpark for residents of the complex as well as enlivening the spaces between the buildings and gardens, allowing to create a barrier-free environment.
The complex consists of 6 buildings with different configurations, 5 of which are semi-quarterly and central one is sectional. All buildings are middle-rised, from 10 levels with a reduction of hight to 5 levels. The whole high-rise apartment complex composition is decreasing from the south-western corner adjacent to the Kachin highway to the junction of the promenade and Lubimovka beach.
The first levels of all buildings have a «skirt» roof from the second level, which makes them look recessed and welcoming to enter. These levels are mostly residental except for the large «stain», in three buildings from the west, where under the buildings and hidden in landscape the carpark for residents of the complex is located.
Project area is located near the Yalta city in Sanatornoe village on the active landscape. The situation consists of two separated from one another sites. One of these sites suspended on the hill between privat cotteges, and the other adjoins to waterfront of Black sea.
The concept of the complex represents an adjucent of the mass of economic model to existing landscape of the area. During the design process, maximum attention to caring attitude towards the area and the surrounding houses was paid.
The apartment complex project, cottages and hotel is proposed to be located on two adjucent areas suspended on the Black sea coast. On the northen area villas with their own cars entrances on the active landscape are grouped. Away from them apartment buildings with hotel are located, and on the southen site of waterfront the vip-apartments village with their own terraces and parking lots.
Project area is located at the intersection between Khaleva street and Pavlyukhina street on the south part of Kazan. The shape of the site is trapezoidal. The goal of the project was to fit an office building with a usable area of 6 000 m2.
The project is a fusion of forms from a triangular stylobate and a truncated rectangle on the stylobate. The stylobate includes cafe and lobby, which face the sqare towards Pavlyukhina street and an enclosed lwo-level car park with access from Khaleva street. On the stylabate a twelve storeys hight truncated rectangle building with office spaces on eleven levels and a bar on the top (twelfth) level is standing.
Total height peak of the building is 52.8 meters, the percentage of territory development is 54% and total number of parking lots is 106. All technical and economical values within within acceptable limits for the office function and existing situation.
The former agro-industrial area provided a unique opportunity to introduce mid-rise development complex into the «body» of Toliatti. Flanked on all four sides by tall, dense greenery, the project area creates unprecendented opportunity for localized histoty scenario of new interaction with
the city.
the city.
The main element of urban planning of the area is the park, which connects and breaks the area at the same time. Connects — by «seeping» branches to drive-in and walk-through entrances to the area, and breaks — pattern of the site into three mutually equal blocks, which can develop separated from the rest of the area.
The project area can be accessed through four equal roads. Moreover, central park with bicycle and pedestrian paths by its «branches» adjoins to each entrance and gives the opportunity to comfortable reach the entry to any public area or building. The development of the territory is primarily mid-rise. All buildings are beveled starting with fifth level for sun permeability, sky visibitity and distance from facade fronts. It gives an opportunity to blur visual frontality of perception and humanise the environment through multi-directional bevels and inconsistened architectonics with the same architectural principles in all buildings.

The park unites the buildings of working clusters into single landscape systems with micro- and macro-patio and its own street system.
The project area becomes the urban pedectrian green frame and satiates public areas of the city with a new point of attraction. On the territory also intimate buildings (2–4 levels) are located, which shape a unique urban public environment with a series of courtyards and small pedestrian alleyways.

Buildings present themselves glass volumes shaped with natural motifs resembling a river boulder. At the bottom is green stylobate with all necessary additional features for workspaces with meditation patios, coworking space with multifunctional hall. This level connects all 20 designed buildings and the basement of the existing building.
Facade of existing building is delicately «cleansed» from excess textures, colors and geometry and it comes down to mono-materiality, so the building becomes a sculpture, site monument and historical artifact.
Project area is located in Konakovsky district of Tver' region in Aleksino village.
The site for the construction consists of two parts, adjucent to south side of the road. On the north, east and west sides, the situation shares the border with neighbouring individual houses.

The general structure of the buildings is unified with a single roof and forms one structurally connected palazzo. Its life takes place in the intersection of functions in the inner patio of the house. The house in its shape divides the area into three interconnected spaces: the sidings, intimate courtyard and uniting everything around itself — inner patio.
The building is an individual privat house consisting of two wings, open summer terrace and inner patio. House is predominantly one-storey with local formation two-storey construction of guest rooms above the bathhouse.

The Moscow government architectural award ceremony was held in Schusev state museum of architecture in inner courtyard. The goal was to design a space for exhibit of 30 architectural projects in 5 different nominations. It was also necessary to take into account that only one month was allotted for idea development, design and implementation.
The final construction, on which a veil shell is put on, represents city «rooms» with exposition stands, thus continiuing the museum structure inside its courtyard space, thus becoming a part of it.
The easily constructed pavilion represents a prefabricated structure of 6 standard units, each of which is made of metal frame and mesh. On this mesh tablets with nominated projects and introductory information and a press-wall are placed, thus shaping 5 themed «rooms», each dedicated to a certain nomination or information about the award.

Architectural competition for the construction of residential housing concept in the settlement of Solovetsky.
The settlement of Solovki is famous for its harsh, but therefore beautiful nature and landscape. The atmosphere of russian village life has been preserved there, so the area evokes associations with bylinas and tales illustrated by Bilibin, Nesterov and other masters. That’s why the visuals of the project are inspired by the sentiments of russian north and rustic asceticism and the monochrome nature of the images gives an atmosphere of coldness but solidarity in front of the harshness of the place.
Rectangular-shaped residential sections of various sizes with a four-pitched roof, without overhangs. Clean floor level of residential sections +150 mm from the ground level, without porches, high basements, etc. which allows for a low height, up to 10 meters from ground level.
Variability and dimensional diversity are achieved by arranging the apartments
in such a way that different building sizes are obtained. The houses in the residential block formation system form a unique morphotype with individual courtyard areas with a garden and household outbuildings
for each apartment, which flank the residential blocks to increase the level of involvement and responsibility to the environment. All three residential blocks are linked by a multi-scenic pedestrian promenade.

Archiectural bureau .ket designed a super-contact pink installation named Arch-therapy for the annual international architecture and design exhibition — ArchMoscow, which takes place in historical building of Gostiny dvor.
The installation is an antithesis and a protest to the blockage and the crisis of the professional community within the framework of this exhibition event. We took as a basis the desire of any exhibition visitor to find an oasis among the string of words and images that captured every meter of this building.
There's too much noise, stress and snobbery. You should lay back and calm down. Playful and whimsical idea is designed to bring people closer, raise the mood, tune to positive experience and give nice photos for Instagram.
The stand is made of 529 soft pink 2-meters long foam rubber tubes and a solid, also made of foam rubber pink pillow. This whole structure is held by light-weight metallic frame. Each foam tube is attached to this frame by a clamp.
The installation became the most visited place in exhibition among all ages, social and other groups of visitors, and «the best public space» in ArchMoscow 2021 as well.
