Lecture for The Great Britain - Russia Society upon the “self-initiative” projects in Russian context today.
The current generation of young architects formulates its own aesthetics, but more importantly its own approach in initiating a project rather than getting a client. This phenomenon of self-initiated projects can be seen as an opposition towards the dominant regime of the developer’s policy on the architectural market and impossibility of young architects to withstand. This kind of architecture is raw, temporal, often vernacular. However, it is a highly important issue since it addresses the paradigm of the role of an architect as a service provider vs self-initiated projects. Unlike the general image of bottom-up projects, those examples introduce a specific architectural language and genuine agendas. This language carries the regionalism of Russian suburb and abundance of the urban context. It is reflected in small bureaus of young practitioners, self-organized movements by students and education process in MARCH, the only independent architectural school in Russia.

Architectural (De)Schooling in the Age of Quarantine
Talk upon the Architectural (De)Schooling in the Age of Quarantine with Piergianna Mazzocca, moderated by Alexander Ostrogorsky —https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3KUFUZcXQk&fbclid=IwAR3CMWLVM5JdbZ10qlj33kVtKtHMVpGLljJiG8grsVE0qS9BDe744ROzjQE

The ubiquity of mobile working stations (digital devices used for the creation and transfer of knowledge) has eroded the notion of the body in educational environments. Not only has the space for this exchange changed, but it has shifted to incorporate places unsuited for this function. These changes—which are not new to 21st century living human beings—are even more noticeable today under the urgency of stay-at-home orders addressing the current public health crisis.
From the obvious (and at times simplistic) debates addressing the possibilities and limitations of this shift and what it might mean in the context of in-person and remote pedagogies, further questioning of the forms of knowledge that both modes embrace and replicate can produce a fruitful debate. By approaching the body as a vast reservoir of signs and symbols and by envisioning the body as capable of both persuasion and defiance inside institutional settings, this conversation will address the obstacles and conditions that we have, as two young research scholars, encountered in our similar but yet distinct trajectories in academia.
