Interior design

All the following projects were created during period of four last semesters at Vitebsk State University in Vitebsk, Belarus from 2011 to 2013.The design concepts were formulated using hand drawings, paper models, 3D renderings created with 3D Max and VRay. The con-struction documents included floor plans, elevations, material research and selection and furniture drawings developed on Auto-Cad and CorelDraw.They are commercial interiors with several problem solving challenges which makes them more interesting to work with for me.

The conceptual challenge for this project was to create a cafe concept with a standout interior within restricted space and low natural light. To overcome the restrictions I chose white glossy panels with decorative laser cuts in bionic style.

Two floors building of movie theatre including hall, movie room on the first floor and museum on the second floor. Ac-tually, my idea was to make a museum due to the fact that there was just empty space without any use. Interior looks very modern and would totally satisfy cus-tomers needs, also fit for people with disabilities, which is still a recuring problem for building in historical centre of the city.

Museum of soviet movie

The second floor of the movie theater renovated to house a museum dedicated to Soviet era movies with spaces for exhibits and a large foyer. The exhibit spaces incorporated design elements of the modernistic interior. The materials and colors were chosen in keeping with the modern feel.

During 2014 to 2015 I was employed as a drafter with OzSteel Inc. One of the major projects I worked on was for a new mall construction in Manhattan, NY. I was tasked with creating the drawings for the steel stairway which included the floor plans, elevation and sections drawings.

Architectural Photography

In this chapter I present my most prized architectural photos. All of the pictures was taken by me in the USA, mostly in New York during 2014-2015. Some of the pictures were published in on-line resources that specialize in architectural, minimal and mobile photography. I also won some photography compe-titions with these pictures.Through this hobby I have been trying to improve my understanding of com-position and to develop my capturing skills and photo retouching knowledge.

Academic Painting and Drawing

One of the most important and cherished parts of my time in university was art education. During which I had a lot of practice to improve my hand drawing skills, gain experience in paint-ing techniques and using different material such as watercolors, acrylics and oils. As one of the most important points for academic drawing is to understand anatomical proportions I spent many semesters in the study of plastic anatomy.
