( Presentation for http://www.awacademy.org/ )
The project is situated on the west coast of Lake Sevan. It is planned for seasonal usage (during summertime). Simple geometric forms, irregularly sorted on the Fibonacci spiral, are used in the setup. The figure of the project resembles the stones drawn to the coast with the waves. The portal node of the setup is situated in the cube, on one side of which are the administrative rooms, and on the other side- the servants’ rooms. The project includes numbers with 1-4 rooms, the doors of which open to the inner garden, and they open to the oral platforms on the outside. The numbers include 1-5 circles, that intersect with one another on different digits. The circles continue also in the water and are accompanied by the floating pavilions. The inner coast is partly covered with circular canopies, which again repeat the spiral shape. The restaurant is situated in the centre, where circular platforms open to the water, and the stage is covered with a quarter sphere, which, winding around its horizontal orbit, gives an opportunity to open it to the inner coast. A lobby opens from the left wing of the numbers to the outside coast, where billiard and tennis courts, doctor’s room and souvenirs shop are situated. The project is planned to build from white concrete, with pneumatic (balloon resembling) mould. The circular canopies are held on metal poles.
