According to the regulatory requirements in
Ukraine, one of the main demands in the design of
kindergarten is to provide such a planning structure in
which paths of different age groups of children must
not overlap. This requirement entails very tough
resolution function between rooms of different
children groups. These conditions cause excessive, in
my opinion, a closed prison-like type of inner
structure. Needless to say, the sustainable
development of children in such conditions is
impossible. Therefore, I have developed a planning
scheme whereby each group of children will be
provided with everything necessary for autonomous
existence in an enclosed structure.
Besides, access to the common areas is independent
and same for all groups. Fun and surprising featuring
in gaming zones is the presence of a kind of
"windows" to the nearby gaming area. That little
details will help to get rid of the feeling of isolation
and create informal contacts between different
children. A particular feature of the kindergarten is a
common area for all children, consisting of a medical
unit and a sport zone with a swimming pool. This
block plus facilities for administration and staff are
formed as a separate unit that completes the concept
of creating a conventionally separated clusters of
different groups of buildings in a single volume .

The basic principle in this design for me was to
provide students with comfortable living conditions
and separate the dormitory from the hustle and
bustle of the city. For this purpose, a site was chosen
on the Hlybochytskiy ravine slopes in Kiev. Site is
separated from the outer city with the historic low-
rise housing buildings and is surrounded by green
areas. Such conditions provide an ideal opportunity
for the formation of the enclosed cluster system. The
concept of the formation was developed in an
interaction of communication specics in residential
buildings.
Thus was formed a system in which students’ living
spaces were separated with public areas, which were
actually stuck to small groups of dwellings and then
formed relationships with other similar formations.
General layout on which ties were performed and
which were used to orient building facilities, are
located so as to create favorable conditions for
students needs and other factors. In general, there
was developed a system of intersectioned spaces in
which however, the chamber environments was
preserved, that guarantees good living conditions.

The objective of this project was to create a
residential unit within the previously designed
neighborhood in the city of Kiev. Taking into account a
master plan decisions taken about the specic
structure of residential development and regulatory
requirements of typological specics of the project, I
made a decision to slightly modify the idea of how the
high – rise housing building should look like.
The primary key of this project concept is construction
in length, but not in height. However, so we did not
come out with the long sausage several oors height,
I have developed a system, which sets this long blocks
in height with discontinuitie and change their
orientation. Growing up to several levels along the z -
axis, revolving around structural cores built between
these elements, formed a complex but a justied
structure. A side benet of this system proved to be a
formative ability to create additional public spaces
using horizontal roof elements that can compensate
the territory involved for erecting the building itself.

This project was designed in collaboration with
Nazar Gresko. My task was to develop an Ice Arena. I
tried to create a new unit in the context of our city-
specic project direction. One of the key reasons of
the Arena main idea (to modify the design task and
execute it as a new urban planning unit) was because
on the opposite shore of the bay Nazar had
developed his project- an Aquatic center. We decided
to combine our efforts, that resulted in a complex
design idea of rehabilitation of former industrial
areas including a former soviet “Lenin`s forge”
shipyard.
Considering that the scale of buildings was large
enough, we have decided to combine our two
projects into a single composite architecture
ensemble that gave rise to the decision to develop a
multifunctional platform over the whole bay, which
served not only as a unifying element but also as the
main compositional axis. Inside the platform we have
conceived to accommodate functional spaces of
Water and Ice centers, parking and transport line.
Operated roof platform is used as a park and a
recreation space over the bight of Dnipro river.
Compositional element that completes the platform
and balances the composition of the whole complex is
a 60 - meter high-rise hotel building.
Architectural form of the Ice center is conditioned to
the total composition, which is characterized by the
use of simple forms. Object appeares as a circle in
plan and as the hemisphere in volume. Such form
provides sufcient space to accommodate the
icerings both for runners and for hockey and stands
with a total capacity of 15 000 spectators.
Structurally volume is designed as a structure
formed by cross-hinged beams made of glued
beams with a section 1.5 m high and 0.75 m wide.
The spatial structure of the building allows to create
an interior space with no visible supports and
makes a big impression on visitors.

WORKSHOP PROJECTSUMMER 2012 SUPERVISOR PROF. VADIM ZAPLATNIKOV [email protected].

This project is the result and nal result of an
architectural workshop impressed with novel of
Taras Prohasko "UnSimple". The main objective of
this summer architecture school was analysis of
the work of the writer and further visualization of
utopian city of Juniper in the Carpathian
Mountains, on the Yablunytsya pass, created by
the author and described in his novel.
Personally, I was extremely pleased to work on this
project, after all, we were not restrained by any
rules, regulations only by our imagination. I must
note that this unique spirit of this workshop was
inuenced by a wonderful work of the famous
Ukrainian writer and the atmosphere of the
Carpathian mountains, in fact, we all were fully
immersed. The result of all these factors was my
idea to create the dream city.
This idea was embodied in the form of illustrated
panels - City Panorama. It depicted all areas of the
city, its transport network, attractions and all that, of
course, linked to one of the most picturesque piece of
the Carpathian Mountains – Pope Ivan. The process of
expression this urban fantasy was very exciting and
informative.
The aim of the second part of the workshop was to
develop an object from this imaginary city for its
further implementation in reality. There had been a
competition, and my work was selected as the best,
and therefore - it had to be erected.
The idea of an object "Stairway to Heaven" was to
create a facility that would allegorical illustrate the
spirit of the Carpathian mountains. Following this
idea I had created an object, which allowed to climb
into the sky and watch the clouds and obsorb the
winds of nature.
As a utility this object serves as a kind of viewing
platform and temporary shelter for travelers and
shepherds. Standing solitary in the midst of
mountains and taking its audience in heights, this
object will be, I hope, a local attraction and a
reection of freedom and lightness of the Ukrainian
spirit.
The nal part of the summer school was to a work on
a comic book that illustrated the main events and the
people who participated in theprogram. This work
was a revelation to me in certain, because since
childhood I had wanted to illustrate the book, and it
actually happened. This event created in me the
understanding of the cases that I would like to
dedicate my life to. Since then, inseparably for me is
studying architecture, my main passion and working
as an illustrator. The kind of activity that inspires me.

This project is one of my greatest professional
achievements and was the rst and so far only in its
scope and grandeur. The history of it is long and
thorny as it was my rst experience with such level of
responsibility. It all started with a proposal from the
design studio "Dream Design" to create sketches of
painting at the various areas of modern school in
Kiev, "NOVOPECHERSKA school" which opened its
doors to students in September 2014. I have created
a set of various skethes for school classrooms and in
fact, one was the idea of large-scale image in the
dining room. It was panorama of Kyiv. Fortunately, I
met full understanding and support from the
customers and started working.
Work process on this project lasted more than a
month and was extremely innovative for me, as it
needed accurate calculations placing elements and
vectorize them for further work on the giant 24 m long
single wallprint.
To implement the idea more than 250 unique items
were created, each was painted with hands on A3
format tracing paper. It was actually an illustrated
catalog of all the main attractions of Kiev and lots of
other items, including 50 different aircrafts created
and illustrated by Nazar Gresko.
Generally, as my professional partner Nazar brought
a lot to this project and without him it would be
probably impossible to nish the project. While I was
responsible for creating the concept and for drawing
most of the illustrated work, Nazar helped me to
create the overall composition, and developed a
method to transfer pictures, hand-made in vector
form and made the underlying basis for further work
with them.
Overall, the project was very successful and
appreciated that primarily important for its main
users - young children.
