Made as part of the GORODA architecture festival in 2012, this humble pavilion transforms a Soviet livestock farm into an active cultural space. The use of straw as a construction material is as much of an ecological move as it is a symbol of the immediate context.

Designed for the Archstoyanie festival—which explores the connection between the humanities and nature—this angular, black structure is nestled in the middle of a national park. The installation includes a spiral staircase that leads to a rotating artist’s studio, offering a serene space to work and contemplate the forest.
