status:                                        competition "STREET OF TOMORROW" (made                                                           together with Lisa dvorshchenko)

ORGANIZER:                                 nonarchitecture

The aim of the competition was to talk about the street of the future. We discussed the past and future of the city, architecture and technology. During this time, military events took place between Russia and Ukraine. Migration of the Ukrainians, destroyed buildings, houses, cities – all this makes us continue our reflections about the uncertainty of tomorrow; switch our attention to the street of the future.

Our vision of the street develops in a scenario of the consequences of destructive actions that completely changed the face of the city. Some parts of buildings and structures block the transit of transport and it’s still unsafe to move around in an open, unprotected area. Therefore, the usual street, with all the infrastructure, has moved to the line passing through the buildings. The street dives into the basement, passes through the ground floor, soars up to the first floor, leaving aside all dangerous areas; descends again, going through the underpass and rapidly continues to lay a safe route, uniting buildings and people. In a city where nothing seems safe anymore, the most important part remains – people, who are able to build a new city, saving ruins and memory of the past.
