THE TALES OF<br />
THREE PLACES<br />
Everything you do shows your hand.<br />
Everything is a self-portrait.<br />
Everything is a diary.<br />
— Chuck Palahniuk, "Diary"<br />
This portfolio aims to tell about three different places<br />
with their own unique qualities. Being located far from each<br />
other, they differ in sizes, typologies and functions. Each place:<br />
a city, a park and a countryside (dacha) is important for me and<br />
each contains two projects of mine, which either complement<br />
each other or act in contra.<br />
I tend to believe that every single architectural project, conceptual,<br />
educational or the one under construction, tells a story<br />
about its designer. It is technically his self-portrait, projected<br />
onto the landscape.<br />
These projects of mine are never to be realized, which is<br />
why they are only tales. Tales of how once in my life I saw these<br />
sites in my head. And the portfolio, which collects all these tales<br />
that are parts of myself, is therefore me.<br />
