Earthquake Resistant Building “Lotus”

Russia

The system of construction of seismic-resistant houses "LOTOS" allows you to build both low-rise and multi-store residential buildings with the possibility of building 30-40 store buildings. These are not ordinary houses, but they are 20-30% cheaper than even today's most economical large-panel houses. In an earthquake-resistant version, the savings can be much greater. This is achieved through the use of more stable curved walls and a three-ray coordinate system. Concrete consumption is 0.4 -0.5 m3 per square meter. High-rise buildings have high seismic resistance at minimal cost.

The film is about the city and the citizens leaving the service workers behind. Many people tend to trash the buildings and neighborhoods they live in irresponsibly. In return, there is a big need for service workers and helpers to clean around the mess. Usually, public spaces and most of the buildings are cleaned regularly. It makes the sight seem beautiful and ensures general cleanliness, however, the workers go through really big challenges and bear the load of the hard labor. The worst part is about the payment they get and the public attitude towards the cleaning people and the film addresses these struggles.

A Resistance That Inspired a Nation

In Search of Accidental Ecosystem

I walked along the road around the apartment, reflecting on the process of asking again how the city would have become our haven. In an apartment complex built in the 1970s, trees placed between unintended apartment street intervals create a middle park. The video shows people and animals resting together in the scene where trees placed in the path, not in a public park, create a park landscape. The tree had a buffering effect that absorbed the concept of an artificial building called an apartment as if rubbing it into nature.
