The "POST-POSTPOST" workshop was held as part of the educational program of the exposition "The Birth of Scale" at the National Centre RUSSIA. During this session, participants designed sketches of an intergalactic transport model. All of them were shaped like spheres, as this is the most optimal and recognizable shape in the Universe.

The session was conducted by the instructors from the School of Future Architecture "SETKA," architect Yegor Orlov and artist Irina Golovanova.

Under their guidance, the participants developed concepts and sketches of space objects, studied the basics of functional and aesthetic design, and applied innovative approaches considering future technologies and the laws of physics.

"The ship is not just a means of transportation, but an intergalactic home equipped with the most modern technologies. It is capable of collecting light and energy from space, growing plants, and even managing household robots. Today we created its model. In the beginning, the participants came up with the technology for its transformation because, when faced with the dangerous vastness of space, such a dwelling must be capable of taking care of itself," explained Yegor Orlov.

The workshop program was designed for children aged 6 and older, and their parents were welcome to join as well. At the end, they all together held a parade of architectural planets.

"We combined our ships and developed a construction game. The game field included not only the spacecraft but also the main characters, as well as emergency situations that needed to be responded to," said Yegor Orlov.

Lyudmila Safikanova and her son Erik have visited the National Centre RUSSIA before.

"We have already attended a drawing masterclass. Today, my son created a ship that transforms into a camper van, has an infinite battery, and can teleport from one planet to another," shared Lyudmila Safikanova.

Participation in the workshops is free. The schedule for upcoming sessions and registration are available on the website russia.ru.

The exposition "The Birth of Scale" at the National Centre RUSSIA showcases completed architectural projects as well as ideas that remain only as concepts. The exposition consists of both the National Centre RUSSIA's own objects and those provided by museums and private collectors across the country.

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 Yakov Chernikhov Charitable Architectural Foundation, and the HSE School of Design.
