Instructors from the FA-SAD Architecture and Design Studio, Inna and Valery Salikhov, will tell guests of the National Centre RUSSIA how to work with spatial elements, analyze examples from architecture, and teach them how to create structures that float on water. The masterclass "Floating Structure" will take place on March 22 at 12:00 and 14:00 as part of the educational program of the exposition "The Birth of Scale."

"We will work with wooden skewers and glue, study spatial engineering structures that are familiar to all professional builders. The participants will create their own element from sticks (skewers). Then, we will connect them into a vertical composition that will also float. This is necessary not only for the special effect but also to allow it to be rotated and observe how it moves. The result will be the so-called 'floating' or 'buoyant' structure, about one and a half meters tall," explained Valery Salikhov, architect at the ANO DPO "FA-SAD Architecture and Design Studio."

Participation in the workshop is free, but prior registration on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA — russia.ru — is required. The number of seats is limited.

"The Birth of Scale" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA presents implemented architectural projects, as well as ideas that remain only as concepts. These are unique models of buildings, drawings, and layouts that were stored in museums and private collections.

Partners of the exposition "The Birth of Scale" include DOM.RF, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, Gazprom, the State Research Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Shchusev, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Architectural Charitable Foundation named after Yakov Chernikhov, and the School of Design of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
