Virtual Quarter

The idea aims to create an off and online visualization zone with a help of media technologies of the future. The project integrates historical background of the quarter into a modern perspective, making it an interactive platform for light installations, shadow theater, 3D modeling, computer-based games (such as e.g. adaptations of Sims). The project encourages active involvement of local creative and hi-tech industries and makes it possible to attract young people, tourists and business (ads, selling goods at festivals and in the stylized shops, services etc).  

Four elements

The project explores the idea of four elements (fire, earth, water and air) and a great potential of the area to be a rich greenery historical space. The team presented their vision as a place to get in touch with the elements of nature and to live with them in harmony. It is a place with great air, water, land and the fire of blacksmiths (traditional arts and crafts).

Time machine

The idea behind Time Machine is to create a theme park with opportunities to dive into 5 historical modules: Stone Age, Traditional Village, Old Town, USSR and Future. All sections are interactive museum platforms that encourage active participation and cover all age groups. This project also creates a brand, a so-called Mythical Motherland. This team had a creative idea for their presentation, they used talking heads of other participants (photos) to communicate key features of the concept.

Creative labs

This team visualized the quarter as an energy center for creative industries with a wide range of cultural activities, laboratories and opportunities for creative entrepreneurship.                                    

Kaleydoscope

The idea is to make a year-round schedule of many small and large scale cultural events creating a rich overall pattern.

Martin cares passionately about the quality of both the buildings and the public realm and infrastructure of cities, towns and rural areas.  This stems from a knowledge that engineering can be much more than a means of achieving functional aims. His early work in major civil engineering taught him that far from trying to control the forces of nature, engineering is better aimed at working with nature.
