In the Virtual Architecture Laboratory, we are sure that everything is extremely simple: right now, time flies with incredible speed, and the world is changing so fast that people simply do not have time to follow this rapid process ... Therefore, a person must be honest with himself, live adequate to its time - and the same should be the architecture, including the private one. This is the fundamental position of the architects who created the interior of a new apartment in one of the prestigious districts of Moscow. The authors of the project are well aware that "if a client shares our" laboratory "philosophy of life and views on modern architecture, we can easily find a common language ..." Today, the Internet metaphor expresses the volume of the modern world in volume - its lack of coverage, combinatoriality, multifunctionality. Although first of all the Internet is, of course, virtuality. The owners of the apartment showed not only the readiness to live in such an "Internet-virtual" space, but even before they turned to the Laboratory, they began to move in the right direction: they independently tried to redevelop the typical "four" in a panel house. "Surgical intervention" in the "body" of the apartment was minimal: the panel is a panel. When looking at the huge planes of mirrors, round niches and the monolithic surface of stone slabs with which the kitchen walls are faced, the question arises: where does the construction end in this interior and the decoration begins? After all, a mirror of ordinary size in a frame is perceived as a separate item, part of the decor, and a huge sheet mirror is more like an absence of a wall, a purely architectural reception ... Light whitewashed walls further emphasize the cleanliness of all lines and shapes, modern materials and exclusive technologies. Processing of mirrors, experiments with spectral lighting and flooring, in which tick is adjacent to Corian and marble, confirm that life in such an environment is capable of introducing to high technologies in ... a purely domestic, mundane reality, outside of hard drives, beyond the boundaries of computer monitors. So, the research that is carried out in the Laboratory of Virtual Architecture is confirmed by life practice.Stanislav Kulish: "The course of history changes the worldview of people, and after that the understanding of space changes. A person has a fear of remaining timeless - in an interior created with the help of the usual architectural forms tested by centuries. maybe get ahead of him ... "
