Housing complex in Abakan

To think Being itself explicitly requires disregarding
Being to the extent that it is only grounded
and interpreted in terms of beings and for beings
as their ground, as in all metaphysics.

Martin Heidegger

Here we can see a design of a dwelling house in Abakan. What associations can you have before see the place? Black coal, white snow, steppe wind, ancient civilization and this associative line can be added with symbolic meaning of a leakage canal for draining underground waters. Surrounding the city the drain line cleans the ground performing invisible curative ceremony of ablution.

The creative concept of the design is that two large shapes connecting form ‘galvanic pair'; and the result of the energy generated is a dynamic image of ‘soaring' bridges for connecting housing area with countryside and helping pedestrians' safety. Let north-south region be laminar wall of excavation, where each layer is imprint of time and culture, then rock of eastern-western part is sparking mica chapped and covered with patina.

The only question is how to fill emptiness of the yard. The chosen methodological approach enables to comprehend emptiness as a material form filled with and light which is constantly being refreshed running out with underground waters to the recreation area.

Goethe: It is not necessary that true is embodied in; it takes its spirit only to be in the air and in harmony for the chime to be in the air with friendliness.
