Creating a model of intergalactic ship: a space workshop at the National Centre RUSSIA
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
