Oleg Shapiro and Dmitry Likin founded Wowhaus in 2007 with prior experience in other businesses. The studio’s mission is to mix together the non-obvious in the field of architecture. The partners’ personal mantra is “to create an agenda”. 1. We don’t believe in “non-interference” and feel that an active stand brings more practical results. Together with our like-minded MOSCOW // KEYNOTE SPEAKERS // KEYNOTE MOSCOW friends, we initiated Strelka, conceived both as a school for thought and as a space for collaboration between experts, authorities, and citizens. Nothing like this existed in Russia before. 2. We created an alternative architectural practice - a team of social and urban researchers whose goal is to identify gaps within Strelka Institute Stanislavsky Electrotheatre the urban tissue and create project proposals for the government. The most striking result of this tactic is the Krymskaya embankment. 3. We put emphasis on restoration and reconstruction, the architectural works usually done by licensed offices and construction companies. Our response to their typical pseudo-historical recreation is the practical application of the Venetian Charter principles and the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre is a great example of this. 4. We believe that the power of architecture can regulate social disagreements. We organized pop-up cinemas in empty corners of parks, created a city beach in place of a landfill, set up a city farm in an abandoned part of VDNKh. Our next step is to create “points of attraction” in disadvantaged neighborhoods where teenagers and young people can spend their time. 5. A year ago we launched our very own training program, where we try to convey our vision of architecture to young professionals. We discuss the essential mission of architecture, include them in our main work and involve them in all interesting activities. Krymskaya Embankment Olive Beach
