SBA Group (PARRA brand) specializes in cabinet as well as upholstered furniture; 97%

of its products are exported, mostly to France, Germany and Scandinavian countries.

SBA Group (PARRA brand) operates five plants in Lithuania and one ("Novomebel")

in Russia and has offices in Russia and Germany. SBA Group (PARRA brand) furni-

ture is represented in a number of popular sales networks (like "Fly" and "Alinea" in

France, "Hofner", "Lutz", "Zegmuler", "Otto" and "Begros" in Germany, etc).

Success of the largest Baltic furniture manufacturing corporation is based on rich

experience - some of the factories belonging to SBA Group count their history from

the 19th century.

uct quality and choice of environment-friendly materials, but also by refined modern

design. PARRA cooperates with leading designers of Italy, France, UK, Sweden and

other countries to create innovative furniture for strong, energetic and tasteful people.

German designers Roman Schneider ("S-designteam") and Christian Blumenstein, Italian

design studio "Archirivolto Design" and its designers Marco Pocci, Claudio Dondolli

and Christin Gori have contributed to the success of SBA Group.

PARRA regularly participates in international exhibitions of Milan, Cologne,

Stockholm, Moscow, etc., offering to the public diverse furniture ranging from modern

classics to minimalism and ethno style.

FROM NOW ON, SBA GROUP - PARRA BRAND PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE

SBA Group - PARRA Brand

Natural and environment-friendly, practical and durable - such are the demands

toward high-quality furniture anywhere in the world. SBA Group (holder of PARRA brand),

the largest Baltic furniture manufacturer, can measure the level of satisfaction of its

clients not only by demand or turnover, but also by recognition on international mar-

ket, where suppliers are obliged to comply with high standards and diverse tastes.

The 12th International Architecture Exhibition was

officially opened on August 29, 2010. Biennale will

take place between August 29 and November 27,

2010.

The inauguration of the Georgian national Pavilion

with conception – ‘’Architecture without Conflicts’’ (the

non-conflict interventions in natural environments) (for

details: #35, 2010 issue of Style Magazine), organized

by the Georgian Union of Architects, took place on

August 28, 2010.

The most important fact for Georgia is that the

National Pavilion Exhibition conception was consid-

ered among the Golden Lion pretenders, for the first

time in nomination – The Best National Pavilion.

The final results were announced on the official

ceremony and the winners were awarded with the

prizes on August 29, by the thematic jury.

The International Jury of the 12th International

Architecture Exhibition composed by Beatriz

Colomina (Spain) President of the Jury, Francesco

DalCo (Italy), Joseph Grima (Italy), Arata Isozaki

(Japan), Moritz Küng (Switzerland) and Trinh T.

Minh-ha (Vietnam) has decided to confer the official

awards of the Architecture Biennale 2010 as follows:

Golden Lion for the best National Participation

to the Kingdom of Bahrain

(Artiglierie dell’Arsenale)

Bahrain Urban Research Team (Tamadher Al

Fahal; Muna Yateem; Fay Al Khalifa; Deena Ashraf;

Fatema Al-Hammadi; Mohammed Al-Qari); LAPA

(Harry Gugger; Leopold Banchini; Simon Chessex;

Russell Loveridge; Ning Liu) and Camille Zakharia

(photographer and engineer) and Mohammed Bu Ali

(producer)

Commissioner: Ministry of Culture & Information;

Place; Piet Oudolf (The Netherlands. Giardino delle

Vergini), Il Giardino delle Vergini.

The motivation of the International Jury:Given the range of vast urban developments that

Kingdom of Bahrain could have been tempted to

include in this Exhibition, the jury was impressed by

the choice, instead, of a lucid and forceful self-analy-

sis of the nation’s relationship with its rapidly changing

coastline. Here transient forms of architecture are pre-

sented as devices for reclaiming the sea as a form of

public space: an exceptionally humble yet compelling

response to People meet in architecture, the theme

proposed by Exhibition Director Kazuyo Sejima.

Golden Lion of the best project of the Exhibition

People meet in architecture

In awarding Architecture as air: study for château

la coste the Golden Lion, the jury would like to

acknowledge the unique and uncompromising vision

of its author, Junya Ishigami. The work pushes the lim-

its of materiality, visibility, tectonics, thinness, and ulti-

mately of architecture itself.

Silver Lion for a promising young participant of

the Exhibition People meet in architecture

The jury’s selection of architects OFFICE Kersten

Geers David Van Severen in collaboration with pho-

tographer Bas Princen as recipients of the Silver Lion

is a recognition of the remarkable potential of the prac-

tice and this ongoing collaboration. The jury was

struck by their ability to reconcile photographic analy-

sis and design intervention into a coherent vision, par-

ticularly given the project’s resonance with the theme

proposed by the Exhibition Director.

Special Mentions: A special mention is awarded

to Decay of a Dome by the team Wang Shu, Vito

Bertin, Lu WenYu of Amateur Architecture Studio. Of

great merit is the wisdom of the project whose struc-

ture - light, mobile and utterly simple - can be speedi-

ly constructed or returned to nothingness.

A special mention is awarded to Studio

Mumbai Architects for the immersive environment

presented in their installation – an exceptional insight

veneciis bienale

21

stili #36. 2010

into the creative context of the atelier in which their

work originates.

A special mention is awarded to landscape

architect Piet Oudolf for Il Giardino delle Vergini, his

subtle, impressionistic yet carefully orchestrated gar-

den. The jury read it as an effective transposition into

the landscape of la Biennale’s theme.

The Awards and Opening Ceremony of the 12th

International Architecture Exhibition took place on

August 28th 2010, at 4 p.m. at Giardini, also with the

conferral of the Golden Lions attributed by the Board

of la Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta

and on the proposal of the Director, Kazuyo Sejima:

Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to Rem

Koolhaas; Golden Lion in memoriam to Kazuo

Shinohara. The honourable prize, Golden Lion of

2010, for Lifetime Achievement - to Rem Kolhaas.

The official ceremony didn’t take place without

incident – with the uncertain consideration the securi-

ty officer did not admit the famous architect Norman

Foster in to the ceremony hall. In spite of tension, the

official process was very diverting.

As usual the 12th Biennale for the hole period

(from 29 August, till the November 27) is loaded by the

interesting seminars.

The Georgian Union of Architects consider that it’s

very important to help Georgian architects to partici-

pate at such arrangements. It’s one of the best ways

to introduce the new architectural directions and tech-

nologies.

To thank the architectural team members:

Besarion Tatishvili, Tamaz BeJanishvili, Kakhaber

Popkhadze, Givi Gogrichiani, Nikoloz abashidze,

Giorgi Giorgadze, Giorgi Kvitsinashvili, who did one’s

bit for the Georgian National pavilion, were admitted to

see Florence beautiful sites and several leading tech-

nology industrials, from August 30, till September 1,

without any charge. Also their names and works were

presented in Biennale catalogue.

In early Middle Ages Batumi was prominent among other

seaside townships due to its convenient position at the begin-

ning of trade routes, leading inland. In this period Batumi rep-

resented a fortress surrounded by village-type population set-

tlement, but was sometimes mentioned as a city (see the writ-

ings of Ambrogio Contarini). According to V. Batonishvili, in the

13th century Batumi was a small town with a strong citadel.

The city and port of Batumi share a common history. Batumi

as an international seaport started to exist when the Romans

included it in their trade routes during the reign of Adrian III.

It was then that the name of the city originated from the word

"bathus", meaning "deep", which ancient Greek and Roman

sailors used to describe this place.

According to Xenophon and Apollonius Rhodius, Batumi

was well known in the ancient world. Present-day Batumi area

and its neighborhood used to belong to the legendary Colchis.

First mention of a township called Batumi can be found in Aristotle's

works (4th century A.D.). Ancient Colchic settlement Batumi was

located at the estuary of Korolistskali River; the city was shift-

ed to the south in the 18th-19th centuries in search of more

efficient location and deeper bay capable of holding large ships.

Myth of Argonauts, ancient Greek written sources, as well

as jewelry, pottery and metal objects amply found during archae-

ological excavations indicate that present-day Batumi area was

once populated by Colchic tribes, discoverers of iron.

The city of Batumi endured numerous wars and invasions

during its history; it was last occupied by Ottomans in the 17th

century.

On August 25 1878 Batumi, together with the whole Ajara

region, was reintegrated with Georgia. In the end of the 19th

century, this city became the site of successful trade and indus-

trial development. In 1883, railway connection was established

between Batumi, Tbilisi and Baku; in 1885, reconstruction of Batumi

port was finished, important factories and plants were built.

In the end of the 19th century, advantageous geograph-

ic location around a natural deep-water bay transformed

Batumi into a port of international importance, contributing to

distribution of Baku oil to different countries worldwide. In 1888

Batumi was officially recognized as a city; at the time being

Batumi is the administrative center of Ajara Region, one of the

most beautiful parts of Georgia.

Intensive urban development of Batumi started in the sec-

ond half of the 19th century, and this process was immedi-

ately connected with the moving of the city and the port toward

Batumi cape.

By the 1880'ies, the outline and main urban development

parameters of the city were already identified. According to the

data of the 1980'ies, Batumi contained four administrative units.

"Azaziye" (north-eastern part of the city) represented a large

trade center, containing most of administrative and public insti-

tutions. On the east, Azaziye District was bordered by

Akhmediye, abundant in narrow crooked lanes and side

streets. This district contained trade houses, Turkish bazaar,

junk shops, coffee houses, etc. The poor tended to populate

the largest district of the city - Muftiye, where the oil-process-

ing plants were located. To the south from Azaziye was locat-

ed a comparatively new, European-style Nuriye District, pop-

ulated by aristocracy and containing boys and girls grammar

schools and Marine Seminary for Young Ladies.

Historical districts of Batumi are in fact clustered around

the seaport and boulevard, with all the buildings turning their

main facades toward the sea.

Seaport was the most important economic establishment

of the city, and it is not by accident that every street in Batumi

starts from the seaside. Continuous, quarter-by-quarter devel-

opment of the streets is the main trait of architectural space

of Batumi. Another such characteristic trait is seaward orien-

tation of main facades.

From the stylistic point of view, architecture of Batumi is

as diverse as that of any other Georgian city. Facades of Batumi

houses boast an extravagant mixture of baroque, renaissance

and gothic motives, seasoned with romanticism, modernism

and constructivism. Certain districts of old Batumi (especially

the historical Azaziye area between Gogebashvili and Baratashvili

Streets) still preserve their unique turn-of-the-century style.

At the time being, the city of Batumi undergoes a large-

scale rehabilitation project. Every street and district of the city

have been studied by Cultural Heritage Foundation. Rehabilitation

of old Batumi is a three-year program, implying full renovation

of city communications and eventual revival of Batumi as a

place with unique historical and architectural identity, like

Sighnaghi. The authors of Batumi rehabilitation project are exec-

utive administrators of Cultural Heritage Foundation - architects

V. Orbeladze, V. Gogishvili, M. Bukhaidze, G. Gegelia, assist-

ed by a group of qualified specialists.

Design of construction volumes under the rehabilitation

project was developed considering the general architectural style

of the city. A special group of researchers studied architectur-

al changes, which happened to this or that building covered

by the project and decided on the expediency of its restora-

tion.

First stage of Batumi rehabilitation project, covering hous-

es around Europe Square, part of Rustaveli Street, Dumbadze

Street and Memed Abashidze Avenue, was finalized in 2009.

Together with restoration of the buildings, this stage of the proj-

ect implied renovation of underground infrastructure, traffic ways

and pedestrian zones, installation of lighting systems and land-

scaping.

Second stage of the project, implying rehabilitation of the

oldest part of Batumi (crossing of Mazniashvili, King Parnavaz

and Gamsakhurdia Streets) is currently underway. This cross-

ing was turned into a plaza, decorated by a 14-level tower

and restored historical constructions. It is also planned to reha-

bilitate the ancient Batumi port with pedestrian pier, restore all

the streets and constructions in historical districts of the city

and upgrade street lighting. Implementation of these activities

is planned in three stages; the works started in 2009 and should

be finished in 2012.

Historical architecture of Batumi is enlivened by modern

constructions, which are built in almost all the districts of the

city. Currently there are 60 active residential construction sites

in Batumi; larger part of apartments in the future houses is

already sold.

"Multifunctional complex" - this is how they call a mod-

ern complex currently under construction in the historical part

of Batumi, at the crossing of Komakhidze and Mazniashvili

Streets, in place of old bath house. Project is operated by con-

struction management company "Arci" and BasisBank. The com-

plex comprises a block of apartments, a hotel, a trade center

with shops, cafes, offices, parking lot and other facilities. The

complex will offer tourists as well as Batumi residents numer-

ous opportunities for leisure and recreation.

12-story hotel & residential complex "White Magnolia", built

by Centre Point in Khimshiashvili Street, is unable to host hol-

iday-makers this season. According to Irakli Mindeli, director

of Centre Point Ajara, actual construction process is finalized,

but at this stage most of the people owning apartments in the

complex are redesigning their property. The hotel component

of the complex is also finished, but inner design works will not

be finalized during this season.

Several high-class international hotel networks are estab-

lishing themselves in the city: Batumi Hilton is going to be the

second largest hotel on the Black Sea coast; construction of

Batumi Radisson will soon be finished; five-star Batumi

Scheraton got launched in spring 2010 (construction of this

hotel was funded by a Turk investor and is owned by a Georgian

national residing in Turkey); construction of a large Hyatt com-

plex is planned.

Reconstruction of the University of Art started in Benziye

district, at the entrance of the city (project author – Lado

Khmaladze).

In Chavchavadze Street construction of multi-functional com-

plex “Batumi Plaza” is underway (project author: Zakaria

Kurdiani, Architectural&Design Group LLC)

Multi-functional public construction with highly original

architecture, combining Socar gas station and McDonalds restau-

rant is being built by Batumi Boulevard (project author – Giorgi

Khmaladze).

In Khimshiashvili Street, Palace of Justice is built near the

French Fountain. The construction, designed by an Italian archi-

tect, will be finalized in a year.

Batumi Seaside Park is the axis of city tourist infrastruc-

ture. It runs along the central section of city beach and attracts

significant numbers of holiday-makers. Park renovation and expan-

sion works was launched by Spanish engineering design com-

pany Monolith 2005 Ltd. in 2005 – the area was equipped

with an up-to-date communication network; three new alleys

were arranged between Khimshiashvili to Kobaladze Streets.

Ardagani Lake, neighboring Batumi Boulevard, which was

a swamp several years ago, now turned into a modern recre-

ation center – the lake was expanded, two artificial islands, a

singing fountain and an amphitheater were arranged there.

Coastline development works continued in 2007. A Ferris

wheel was installed and a number of new restaurants were

built around Ardagani Lake.

Renovation of a fountain at the central entrance of Batumi

Seaside Park, construction of an exhibition hall and lighting of

the whole park was finished in 2008.

In 2009 a small architectural monument “Twelve

Symphonies” was installed in Batumi Park. New Boulevard was

launched, increasing the area of Seaside Park by 18 hectares.

The new Boulevard features an advanced lighting system and

attractions, decorative concrete alleys and pathways. At the

time being, total length of Batumi Boulevard reaches 8 kilo-

meters. For the future, it was decided to lengthen the Boulevard

to link up with Kvariati, so that its total length reaches 20 kilo-

meters.

Rehabilitation of Batumi May 6 Park (former Park of Student

Youth) started in 2005. This area was expanded by an artifi-

cial island, decorated with exotic plants and a singing foun-

tain. The zoo section of the park was enlarged (now it bor-

ders Turgenev Street); in 2009, new dolphinarium with advanced

water filters and other up-to-date equipment was launched here

(contractor: ATU Association, architect: Malkhaz Jeiranashvili).

Batumi Boulevard grows more and more beautiful with

each passing day. This is one of the most popular holiday

spots in the region. Very recently, two new sculptures – Gela

Tsuladze’s “Topsy-Turvy” and Jean Dupont’s “Where” – were

launched in the Boulevard.

As we learned, beautiful aquarium, designed by architec-

tural studio Henning Larsen Architects, will be opened at the

shore, near May 6 Park. The 2000 sq. m. building of unusu-

al shape, resembling four gigantic sea stones, will be clearly

visible both from the shore and the sea.

The building will become a landmark and an organic ref-

erence to all elements of the sea”, explains Design Director

and Partner at Henning Larsen Architects, Louis Becker. “It

captures the special atmosphere by the sea and thus becomes

a tribute to the power of the sea!”

Batumi Aquarium will become a modern, cultural aquari-

um offering visitors an educational, entertaining and visually

stimulating journey through the different seas. The central, mul-

tipurpose space in connection with the aquarium features a

café and retail functions and its flexible layout makes it well-

suited for presentations and workshops.

All the houses, streets and cultural monuments located

in the historical core of Batumi will be restored to their initial

look, which the present-day residents of Batumi had only seen

on old photos - paved streets, turn-of-the-century houses, styl-

ized street decoration. The project, main goal of which is preser-

vation of historical, architectural and cultural image of the city,

will be implemented with active public involvement at all stages.

Reconstruction of

Batumi University

of Art Concert HallProject author:

architect Lado Khmaladze

Creative group:

construction engineer - Demna Chiladze,

architects: Giorgi Khmaladze, Giorgi Tatiashvili

Site details before reconstruction:

footprint area - 3187 sq. m.;

construction area - 10225 sq. m.;

volume: 39000 m3

After reconstruction:

footprint area - 3310 sq. m.;

construction area - 11200 sq. m.;

volume: 40600 m3

Batumi University of Art, located at the entrance of the city, in

the so-called Benziye district, was built in 1953.

Premises of the University border on the seaside highway. The

construction represented a typical sample of Socialist realism, a sym-

biosis of cultural-educational demands and construction standards

of the 1950'ies. Functional and strictly conventional planning, com-

plying with the rigid academic curriculum, reflected in a very nega-

tive way on the inconsistent interrelation of facade and planning solu-

tion. In spite of its age, the construction did not suffer any signifi-

cant constructional deterioration, though certain sections of its base-

ment and cornices are considerably damaged.

Reconstruction of the University building was, in the first place,

a great honor and an interesting challenge, imposing significant respon-

sibility on the authors. The task was very difficult, because as a

result of reconstruction this building, primarily an educational estab-

lishment, was to retain only one of its past functions - that of a clas-

sical music center and the capacity of existing concert hall had to

be increased from 703 to 1200 seats. Naturally, considering rele-

vant construction and functional standards, such a radical interven-

tion would require full redesign, but the architect was obliged to pre-

serve historically important architectural value of the building (archi-

tectural solution and facade decoration, design of concert hall ceil-

ing and walls, magnificent central lobby with its decorative panels

and colonnades, cornices and heads of columns and wall piers in

the lobby and wings, characteristic of Socialist realism) without extend-

ing it.

The author tried to maximally preserve the Socialist realism style

of the building. However, instead of trying stylistic reanimation, he

consciously followed the course of balancing vintage and innovative

elements to achieve stylistic integrity of interior and exterior design.

New planning structure and architectural character of the whole

building was by large determined by overhaul of the concert hall

and main entrance zone.

Interpretation of the redesigned building starts with its main entrance

and lobby. This is the spot where all visible and invisible, conscious

and subconscious aesthetic and creative perception lines cross, where

you understand what the building is and why you came here.

Key detail of architectural solution - a series of artificially illu-

minated nickel-plated spires of different shapes and sizes - adds

surprising pompousness to the building. Though positioned at dif-

ferent heights at varying distances, the spires form a clear-cut visu-

al structure. The author believes that his goal - visual association

of the building with the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and

other great composers - has been achieved at least in part.

The area around the building is paved, with islands of green

herbs and trees decorating the space in front of the main entrance.

The fountain stretched along the frontal axis of the construction is

also equipped with internal illumination; back wall of the fountain is

glazed so that in the evenings one can see scintillating water jets

from the cloakroom.

Before reconstruction, the site did not have a parking lot; a

section of road was allocated for this purpose on the south-eastern

border of the site.

LandmarkA new, highly interesting multi-

purpose highrise was recently built

in 12 Amagleba (former Davitashvili)

Street, in one of the fashionable dis-

tricts of Tbilisi. Key attraction of the

project is its efficient and close link

with the environment. The con-

struction is very compact, with

major architectonic groups ingenious-

ly combined with each other.

Architecture of the building is high-

ly original and integral. Combination

of various geometric and mobile

forms ensures the flexibility of con-

struction volumes. It catches the eye

by visual lightness and graphic

precision of the silhouette. The

construction has been jointly

designed by architects Mamuka

Chkhaidze and Archil Razmadze.

Constructional lightness of large

masses is repeated by smaller ele-

ments of the building. We would like

to specially note decorative metal

compositions, dynamic forms,

wrought-iron railings and doors,

designed by Giorgi Jinoridze. Every

component is carefully positioned in

an appropriate place to stand out

with sculptural efficiency. The main

design theme is further accentuat-

ed by the glints of sunlight and

exquisitely matched colors on facade

surfaces (facade painting by Zaza

Chikadze). Lines, parallels and

dynamic curves merge into spec-

ulative patterns and silhouettes.

The architectonic melody with its

changeable rhythm is based on the

highlighting of particular notes.

"Solomon"

in Sighnaghi

41

stili #36. 2010

New hotel "Solomon" (named after prominent Georgian social

educator Solomon Dodashvili) was built in Sighnaghi. Project authors

are architects V. Orbeladze, G. Abuladze, Z. Orbeladze, T. Shashiashvili

and L. Shashiashvili. The main attraction of the project is its close

connection with the environment. The exterior of the construction soft-

ly contravenes the existing architectural background and catches the

eye with visual lightness and graphical precision of its silhouette.

The contemporary hotel building boasts a restaurant with ele-

gant interior, designed by architect Dimitri Topuridze. Each fragment

of modern and traditional architectural decoration bears special sig-

nificance. The design is highly individual and specifically functional,

distanced from up-to-the-minute trendy fashion whims, but elegant in

a quiet and refined manner. Professional approach shows everywhere

- in efficiently organized space, skillfully matched colors and textures,

carefully planned lighting, stylistic solution of interior spaces, relevant

furniture, tasteful choice of accessories, sculptural decor, created by

artist Gena Ekizashvili... Flawless design, integrated by a general theme,

forms an original interior space, offering comfort and pleasure.

"Solomon" logo - an emblem precisely expressing aspirations of

the founder of "Europeanism" in Georgia, is based on the idea gen-

erated by Dimitri Topuridze.

Dimitri Topuridze also designed the marani and small wine-tast-

ing hall, located in the hotel. It is noteworthy how the highlights, cre-

atively distributed over the interior space, contribute to forming a mean-

ingful thematic environment.

also designed interiors of other VTB Bank branches), implied full range of works starting from empty hull and includ-

ing interior planning and exterior reconstruction. Construction started in spring 2008 and ended in spring 2010.

Advantageous location of the reconstructed building is an added benefit both for the employees and clients

of the bank. Unexpected architectural and design features, which one encounters every new and then in VTB

Bank headquarters, lighten up the atmosphere of this public space and make it more comfortable. In the stylistic

integrity, individuality of every section of interior or exterior stands out with surprising clarity. Unity of construction-

al and decorative details visually enlarges the space, accentuates its shape, highlights the depth and intensity of

colors, making the new bank headquarters a comfortable and impressive place.

"City" by the Sea

49

stili #36. 2010

This year, pre-construction works of multi-

functional complex was launched in Tbilisi Sea

recreation zone (official title of the project is

"Natalie City", though in Tbilisi Sea Development

Plan this it is conventionally denominated

"Sport City no. 21"). The project is funded by

Georgian businesswoman Natalie Kvantaliani

and coordinated by development company White

Development Group. Project author is archi-

tect David Tsutskiridze.

The new complex is going to include con-

structions of different purposes and is divided

into relevant zones.

Compositional dominant of the complex

is 280-meter "White Tower", which is going to

be the tallest construction in Georgia (it is sev-

eral meters taller than Mtatsminda TV tower),

visible from anywhere in Tbilisi. According to

the project, the construction will comprise 70

levels. 20 of these will house business-cen-

ters, 20 - hotel structures and 20 - penthouse-

type apartments; remaining 10 levels will be

earmarked for different public facilities.

"White Tower" will be connected with zoo

area below by cable-way (Line 1).

To one side from "White Tower" there will

be a so-called VIP zone with 32 luxury sin-

gle-family houses. We would like to specially

stress the key idea of the project: it is absolute-

ly environment-friendly - all the constructions

are going to be equipped with solar and wind

power systems.

On the other side, "White Tower" will be

bordered by a recreation zone - cinema, pavil-

ion, swimming pool and several other public

constructions.

One of the most important zones of the

complex is the "premium" zone - this area will

include 12 townhouses - two-level hotel-type

residential houses with inner courtyards, sea-

side views and rooftop swimming pools.

Residential zone is separated from the

sports zone by a passage - open space with

light glazed roofing. Considerably big area under

the passage will be earmarked for a car park-

ing lot and shops.

Significant part of complex territory will be

occupied by the sports-recreation zone with

five golf courses and swimming pools, a golf

club, a spa, fitness center, wellness salon, play-

grounds, squares, a dedicated parking lot and

other facilities.

"Sport City" area will be bordered by wind

turbines. A helicopter launch pad will be set

up at the golf club and "White Tower" rooftop.

Besides, the Sport City is going to include

an indoor sports complex, conforming to

Olympic standards and a soccer pitch with

25000-seat stands.

Cable-way (Line 2) will connect sports and

"Premium" zone with the zoo.

According to the project, the area under

development will be provided with an efficient

transport and road connection network, con-

veniently linking different zones of the com-

plex with the central thoroughfare.

Large part of "Natalie City" area will be

set in green, efficiently setting off the white con-

structions, which will grow into an impressive

and integral architectural entity in some three-

four years.

"Natalie City" comprises numerous inter-

esting themes - diversity is the main structur-

al principle of this project. This comfortable and

environment-friendly public space, equipped with

advanced communications and technologies,

is going to become one of the landmarks of

Tbilisi.

White LakeBy the next season, so-called Gldani Lake area will become

publicly available with updated infrastructure. The project is fund-

ed by Georgian businesswoman Natalie Kvantaliani and coor-

dinated by development company White Development Group.

Project author is architect David Tsutskiridze.

When this project is realized, Tbilisi will have one more

protected recreation area of absolutely new type. This place,

which served as one of city dumps the recent years, boasts

a lake three times as big as the Turtle Lake (1000x300 m),

abundant in fish and set in a breathtaking landscape. White

Lake development project is a really generous gift for Tbilisi

population.

White Lake area development started three years ago;

the lake was cleaned, access roads were upgraded, parking

lots are being arranged. The lake is located near to central

highway of Gldani District, parallel to Georgian Military Road.

Under the project, While Lake area is divided into sever-

al zones. One of them - public recreation zone - includes a

beach, a number of open cafes and bungalows, youth enter-

tainment centre and a miniature 4D cinema. Open cafes and

awnings lined along the beach boast original design and preva-

lence of white colour (every construction in the public area will

be faced with white, transparent or mirror materials and local

personnel will wear white uniforms). Several playgrounds will

be arranged for children; the area will be provided with pedes-

trian pathways and picnic spots.

Another zone of White Lake Area is reserved for fashion-

able recreational complex "White Event Hall", dedicated to large

events (presentations, shows, etc.) with up to 800 participants.

The complex will include a spectator hall with a stage, a restau-

rant, several bars, exhibition spaces, open terraces for outdoor

events and other relevant facilities. As the lake is large enough

for yachting, the second zone will also include a yacht club.

A presentation hall will be built with light glazed construc-

tions on the lake surface - this facility will function as a restau-

rant and host especially festive events. A large screen will be

mounted on a mast above the lake for broadcasting of events

going on in the White Event Hall and other interesting footage.

To make the most of the main attraction of the area -

as we said above, the lake is abundant in fish - fishing spots

stili #36. 2010

52

will be arranged at a distance from the main architectural

complex.

According to the project, the shoreline across from the

public zone will be allocated for housing development.

Residential complex will include 12 villas with homestead plots

opening on the lake. Buyers of each villa will receive a motor

boat as a gift from project representatives.

Main entrance to White Lake area is framed by two elon-

gated dynamic buildings, of which one is going to house a

30-bedroom hotel (3-4 stars), and the other - an entertainment

centre.

We are sure that White Lake area will soon become a

popular recreation spot for Tbilisi residents.

Residence by

SB ArchitectsThis urban infill site in San Francisco presented a unique

opportunity to create a new, free-standing home, while main-

taining the site’s existing structure as a separate residential unit.

The site originally housed a single structure – a one-story, one-

bedroom home over a two-car garage, constructed in 1931

and totaling only 550 square feet of living space. Since the

original structure was built at the rear of the 2,000-square-foot

corner lot, and zoning allowed for two units on the site, a new

home could be built at the front of the lot, capitalizing upon

views and a more prominent street address.

The goal for this project was to seize the unique zoning

opportunity to build a new home on this desirable, but never-

developed, corner site in a dense San Francisco neighborhood.

The design concept was driven by the micro-features of the

site and the desire to create a contemporary design expres-

sion that was rooted in Northern California architectural and

sustainable ideals. The basic envelope was shaped in large

part by the neighborhood planning code, which dictated ele-

ments such as bay windows, notched side yards and inset

entries to create movement and shadow along the streetscape.

While the design is rooted in the local vernacular and code

within this traditional San Francisco neighborhood, the inter-

pretation is distinctly clean and modern.

The naturally sloping site inspired the idea of a focal stair

core wrapped by private areas and topped by a dramatic sky-

light, bathing the interiors in natural light and forming a direct

link between through the private spaces on the entry level and

the upper-level public spaces. The central stair core also cre-

ates a strong vertical wall on the exterior, resulting in a com-

position quite different than the typical horizontal layering of liv-

ing spaces. The corner location and internal organization of

space created an exterior expression that broke free of hori-

zontal restraints to create a blend of horizontal and vertical

lines, punctuated by a strong cantilevered roof.

Locating the main living spaces on the top floor afforded

dramatic views of the San Francisco skyline and garnered abun-

dant natural light, significantly decreasing electricity use.

Windows on all aspects of the building, unusual in this urban

setting, provide an abundance of natural light in the interior

spaces. Making use of extensive experience in hospitality design,

the design team created a resort-based living experience with-

in this 1,750-square-foot custom home, with open, flowing spaces,

clean, high-end finishes and rich woods. A rainscreen system

supports Ipe banding on the exterior façade, while walnut floor-

ing and cabinets combine with cedar cladding on interior ceil-

ings and exterior soffits to bring warmth to the interiors.

Designed with a careful eye toward sustainability, this home

is Tier Two Energy Star certified, making it over 35% more

efficient than California Title 24 requirements. A 95% efficient

gas boiler supplies domestic hot water and hydronic heating,

and a 2.5-kilowatt photovotaic system with net metering pro-

vides solar energy, while energy star appliances and water effi-

cient plumbing fixtures throughout ensure an efficient use of

resources.PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRUCE DAMONTE

Expo 2010

Georgia Pavilion

- ShanghaiEXPO 2010 was officially opened on 1 May, in Shanghai,

China. The exhibition is one of the largest events in the

world. It is held in different countries every five years and

lasts for 6 months. Theme of the EXPO 2010 is “Better

City, Better Life” and signifies Shanghai's new status in the

21st Century as the "next great world city". It is a world

expo in the tradition of international fairs and expositions.

More than 190 countries and more than 50 internation-

al organizations have registered to participate in the Shanghai

World Expo, the largest ever.

Moreover, every Expo also attracts hundreds of thou-

sands of visitors to its abundant performances and special-

ly-designed buildings in addition to the exhibitions.

Georgia was presented among the nations participat-

63

stili #36. 2010

ing in the Expo 2010. Georgian exhibition was held in

European merged pavilion. In this case, China republic has

greatly helped us with 60% budget funding for the devel-

oping countries. As a result, Georgian stand was very inter-

esting and attracted a lot of visitors.

Georgia is represented on 324 sq. metre stand.

Organizer of country’s participation in EXPO 2010 is the

Department of Tourism and Resorts of Georgia, Ministry of

Economic Development. Works on Georgian stand design

lasted several months. It represents country’s tourism poten-

tial, historical-cultural heritage, diversity of nature. The proj-

ect author is an architect Giorgi Khmaladze.

The dominant element in the composition is the huge

grape-vine, as the symbol of Georgia, accompanied with

Georgian alphabet. Pavilion’s four corners are divided

according to four seasons, with the slogan – ‘’VIEW FROM

MY WINDOW ‘’. In this section Gudauri and our winter resorts

represent season winter. Summer is represented by help

of our seaside sites.

We can also see capital city Tbilisi in one of the cor-

ners, more exactly the Shardeni Street.

Georgian stand is located in European pavilion. Azerbaijan,

Bulgaria, Armenia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and

European Union are also presented in the same pavilion.

Within the expo bounds, the Georgian national pavilion

day is considered to be October 28.

On June 21 Liberty Bank publicly opened its headquarters, reconstruction of

which continued for several months.

Architectural project was designed by architectural studio Dmark (www.dmark.ge)

and realized by company "Georgian Style".

Modern interior of new Liberty Bank headquarters is not just comfortable - it

charms with a special, uniquely expressive atmosphere. Flexible planning, dynam-

ic shapes, refined furniture and accessories segmenting the place into different

zones, make the whole interior even more impressive and meaningful.

The design features original highlights, defining individual character of the inte-

rior. Unobtrusive harmony of red-and-white background color palette is animated

by bright details.

Important role in interior design was attributed to Coriani and Montelli prod-

ucts. These materials were liberally used to decorate cash offices, working desks

and the lobby on ground and first floors.

First Project

Successfully

Realized Office of Archil Prangishvili, rector of Tbilisi Technical

University, was recently renovated by young designers Eka

Balavadze and Natalie Manjgaladze.

Considering its purpose, interior of the office, comprising a

lobby, a study and a conference hall, had to be highly present-

able though featuring a positive atmosphere. One of the com-

plex tasks the young designers had to solve was renovation of

writing desk, which had stood in the rector's office since found-

ing of the University. The designers found an original solution:

by combining existing architectural details with clear-cut design

stokes, original furniture and color contrasts, they created free-

flowing modern interior space.

Unexpected design touches add lightness and comfort to

this public space. The unity of constructional and decorative details

visually increases the interior and by large determines unusual

nature of changeable perspectives, depth and intensity of col-

ors. Design of this interior is the natural manifestation of refined

taste and intellectual potential.

RomanceRestaurant "Piano", recently opened

in Tabidze Street, quickly became a pop-

ular and fashionable spot. Its interior is

designed by Designbureau Group

(designers Nia Mgaloblishvili, Sophie

Shevardnadze and Ia Liparteliani). The

authors focused their efforts on com-

bining interior colors, creating "literary"

decor of the walls and matching effi-

cient furniture in order to create an espe-

cially comfortable space. Most interest-

ing are original and highly practical light

fixtures, serving both as decorations and

zone markers. Still another design high-

light is a multi-legged bar stand.

Restaurant "Piano", with its roman-

tic atmosphere, is the best place for

leisure and entertainment.

The unity of styleThe authors of Mirzaani Restaurant's interior (in Uznadze

street, in Tbilisi) are designer Natia Kariauli and architect Giorgi

khizanishvili. Spatial solution of this public interior is integral,

flexible and massive; use of original architectural details and

restrained color accents manifests the refined taste of the authors

and highlights the specific function of the establishment.

The authors’ conceptual credo is revealed in simple and

imposing forms, austere décor, combination of freedom with

formality. Their efforts have brought to the fore the concept of

expressive architectural form.

In this case, aesthetics is so well subjected to pragma-

tism that one would have difficulty attributing primary impor-

tance to any of them.

The authors have adapted traditions to modern mentali-

ty, at the same time following the aesthetic cannons of clas-

sical style and making the design relevant to the system. Each

detail has been carefully considered in development of this

interior.

Special feature of this project is that the space is divid-

ed into several functional groups without disrupting the integri-

ty of décor, so that every part of interior looks equally impos-

ing. Creative freedom made it possible to retain the unity of

style, fully corresponding to the “lifestyle” of the building.

DiverseDesign

This article refers to “Babilo” restaurant, recently created by architect Marika Kurtishvili.

In this space, diversity of functionally organized, highly refined and diverse design and

utmost efficiency of forms are merged into a credibly integral space. Lighting, coloring,

choice of accessories, proportions, flexible graphics – unordinary composition, formed by

combination of these elements, is much more meaningful than an artificial high-tech struc-

ture would be in its place.

Quiet and respectable look of the interior, where there are no distracting details, allo-

cates a special function to every detail. The space is perceived as an entity – not just

because of classical forms and refined color solution. Carefully chosen finishing materials,

textures and warm tonalities of the furniture accentuate the imposing character of the atmos-

phere. And the main point is that the complex dialogue between newly-created and exist-

ing elements in this interior has been quite successful.

DIESELin Tbilisi

The interior of "Diesel" showroom, located in Vaja-

Pshavela Avenue, Tbilisi, is designed by Nia Mgaloblishvili,

Sophie Shevardnadze and Ia Liparteliani (Designbureau

Group).

Showroom interior design matches the character of

the brand and turns the place into an island of alterna-

tive reality. The design is a background to "Diesel" prod-

ucts. Two-tier walls, prevailing blue color, simple construc-

tion solutions and stressed functionality flatter the fash-

ionable collection of denim, displayed in the showroom.

Ergonomic conception of a modern salon is not so much

developed by application of efficient design tools, but rather

based on the experiences of happy consumers. Every

detail in this interior design, starting with light fixtures and

ending with fitting-rooms, is intended for connoisseurs, under-

standing the value of leisurely and comfortable choice.

BrandCreativity

Kids' clothes boutique "Vingino" was recently

opened in Kazbegi Avenue, Tbilisi.

Interior of the shop was created by young

designers Nia Mgaloblishvili, Sophie Shevardnadze

and Ia Liparteliani (Designbureau Group).

"Vignino" interior is a result of professionally

creative approach. The shop rather reminds of a

playground, protected by a wooden fence and con-

taining cubical stands, featuring especially interest-

ing goods. Interior space, filled with light and air,

is visually expanded by a huge mirror screen and

decorated with exquisite furniture. Unconventional

display of goods inside large frames, attached to

the walls, turns every article of clothing into a fun

drawing, turning the process of shopping into a

very easy and pleasurable pastime.

Showroom

Guess

Recently, presentation of showroom Guess took

place in Chavchavadze ave., Tbilisi.

The showroom interior is a free-flowing space with

distinct individuality and a precisely defined function.

Simplicity, uninhibited planning and dynamism. The con-

ception of expressive architectural image, forming the

foreground of the design, is strengthened by aesthet-

ic associations and deep connotations.

The interior consists of independent volumes bear-

ing different emotional charges depending on their func-

tional specifics but efficiently merging into the general

structure of the space. The importance of aesthetical-

ly valuable, refined forms is accentuated by the qual-

ity of their implementation. Highly professional and taste-

ful design style gave successful finishing touches to

the interior of Guess and integrated it into the sur-

rounding life.NINO LAGHIDZE

Design Collage

of InteriorCreation of Residential interior design with a themat-

ic atmosphere and distinctive individuality is a complex, metic-

ulous task, requiring a great deal of professionalism.

Residetial space of duplex-apartment designed by archi-

tect Merab Gujabidze, represents an integral, live organism,

consisting of harmoniously matched mobile units. The open

space is perceived as a unity, nonetheless consisting of self-

important and original elements, integrated by a carefully

considered and unobtrusive structure of minor details. Each

horizontal or vertical surface of the interior is an unordinary

decoration, a part of design collage. Their compositional struc-

ture, tonality, matching with furniture and accessories evoke

the feeling of perfection.

History of two

apartmentDESIGNER ILIA ZAKARAIA

This residential interiors (in "Digmis Masivi"

and in Rcheulishvilis street in Tbilisi) was

designed by the architect-designer of Cube

Studio (Architectural Design Group) Ilia Zakaraia.

Realization stage of interiors design often

yields certain deviations from the initial sketch-

es. However in this particular case the interi-

ors created by architect, is absolutely identical

to its render version, revealing the author’s best

taste.

The beauty of this designs exceeds aes-

thetic perception, developing on different planes

and breathing a life of its own. Diversity of this

beautiful, well-organized space and top quality

of its refined forms are merged into a credible

organism. Lighting, colors, accessories, propor-

tions, mobile graphics - their integrity naturally

forms unordinary spaces devoid of excess

sophistication.

In the peaceful and respectable environ-

ment every element gains special importance.

The light space interrupted by visible and imag-

inary barriers is perceived as an entity not only

due to dominance of classic forms and refined

colors, but also because of precisely matched

finishing materials, fine textures, warm tonali-

ties and furniture. Textures and colors of finish-

ing materials, the apparent aestheticism of the

décor serve to highlight the originality of exte-

rior and interiors design, as well as profession-

alism of its author.

House owners, giving pref-

erence to this or that particular

design style, actually choose an

atmosphere, in which they will exist

for a certain amount of time and

which will have its influence on

their lives.

The author of this interior (

Apartment in Vaja-Pshavela ave.

in Tbilisi) is designer Natia Kariauli.

Considering the taste and expec-

tations of the house owner, they

created a refined modern interi-

or space with clear architectural

graphics, original furniture and

skillful color contrasts.

Unexpected design touches

add lightness to the residential

space and increase the efficien-

cy of its planning. In the stylistic

integrity, individuality and function-

al specificity of each room stand

out. All elements of the space

serve to highlight the feeling of

freedom, visually increase the

space, accentuate its form, define

the depth and intensity of colors.

Creating this interior, author

endowed it with comfort and orig-

inality, which would not look nat-

ural in any other place. In other

words, the design represents an

incarnation of the inhabitants’

taste and social position.

yields certain deviations from the initial sketch-

es. However in this particular case the inte-

rior created by architect Aleko Korkotashvili,

is absolutely identical to its render version,

revealing the author’s professionalism at its

best.

The key highlight of this residential inte-

rior is efficient development of design theme

from zone to zone. The spaces with their

original architectonics integrate into an utter-

ly comfortable living environment. A visitor

entering this apartment perceives its posi-

tive, pacifying atmosphere from the very first

step and feels an urge to visit the place

again and again.

Every detail in the interior is positioned

so as to stand out with most efficiency.

Approach toward shapes, textures and

colours clearly expresses the designer’s artis-

tic principles and perfect taste. On the

whole, the author’s interesting and original

solutions aim to achieve one and only goal

– to create a living environment, guaran-

teeing comfortable and tasteful life to one

particular family.

Modernism in general: how ideology of build-

ings in Georgia changed along with their function-

al changes; modernism in particular: value of

Giorgi Chakhava's utopist construction in the con-

text of modern architecture - these issues were

covered by Laura Palmer Foundation, Other Space

Foundation and GeoAIR project "Frozen Moments:

Architecture Speaks Back", organized on July 22-

25 in the former Ministry of Highways of Georgian

Soviet Socialist Republic. Public discussions, per-

formances and concerts arranged under the proj-

ect during these three days were centered around

two main topics: utopist thinking in architecture and

modernism.

Artists, academicians, architects, curators,

economists and Tbilisi residents gathered in the

former office of Ministry of Highways of Georgian

Soviet Socialist Republic and future headquarters

of the Bank of Georgia to attend Joanna Varsha's

project, which was realized with participation of

Caucasia interacts in frozen moments.

Destruction of communist regime resulted in train

stoppages, cableway cars hanging motionless over

Tbilisi, real property left over from unrealized future

plans had to shelter refugees. Soviet architectural

heritage showed the potential for multiple use, cre-

ative management, sustainable and self-organized

policy rather early, and these traits are still visible

in present-day cultural discourse.

Former office of Ministry of Highways of

Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic is one of the

most unusual constructions in the world. This spec-

imen of "utopie realizable" is a fruit of reality in

which Communist future can be combined with

organic, multi-layer palimpsest architecture and

amateurishly planned environment. This construc-

tion was built by the Minister of Highways, archi-

tect Giorgi Chakhava in 1975 in cooperation with

architect Zurab Jalagania.

According to Nini Palavandishvili, organizer and

curator of project "Frozen Moments: Architecture

Speaks Back", constructions of this type are very

few not only in Georgia and former USSR republics,

but in other parts of the world as well. "This build-

ing is mentioned alongside with Centre Pompidou,

Neue Nationalgalerie, built in Berlin by Mies van

der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer's Brazilian masterpieces

- and we do not know that!"

In Georgia this building is attributed to late

modernism. In the 1970'ies construction process

was suspended by a decree, unexpectedly issued

by Moscow authorities, but Nini Palavandishvili says

that the architect somehow managed to protect

his project and finalize it: "Giorgi Chakhava's idea

was an absolute utopia - this building did not match

Georgian and Soviet architectural background in

any way. Local and central media did not even

stili #36. 2010

Frozen Moments: Architecture Speaks Back

consider it worth mentioning. The public did not

realize how interesting and innovative the archi-

tect's thinking was. Chakhava's main idea was

integration with nature; he wished to apply the

ideas suggested to architecture by natural con-

ditions, this is why he designed a terraced con-

struction, consisting of transverse segments,

occupying minimal amount of space on the

ground and horizontally expanding in the air.

Considering this, Chakhava's way of thinking was

highly futuristic and, in a way, utopist - how far

can one go this way, how tall such a construc-

tion can be?"

The three-day event, attended by Caucasian

and world artists, architects, curators, academi-

cians and the general public, included highly diverse

and interesting research and fun sessions, focused

on this heterothematic location. The program

comprised discussions, master classes, artists' and

architects' interventions, concerts, excursions and

rooftop evening parties.

Special excursions were organized for artists,

musicians, researchers, critics and architects, tak-

ing part in the project: they visited several non-

functioning, "frozen" constructions around Tbilisi

and a dump in Gldani - the place where city dump

was transferred in 1970'ies from the site current-

ly occupied by Ministry of Highways office.

Former Ministry office was not just the host,

but also the principal actor of the project. It acted

as a text under consideration, which has a poten-

tial of generating and developing new texts on its

own. Artists and researchers based their perform-

ances and reports on the history, location and nat-

ural environment of Giorgi Chakhava's work.

The starting point was the poetry of frozen

images, the usual potential of past and future mean-

ings: added benefits of modernist heritage, the

city moving and promenading, intermezzo con-

cepts, "Back to the Future" course and a lot more.

According to Nino Palavandishvili, "GeoAIR

does not focus exclusively on housing museums

and galleries in institutional constructions. We would

like to revive more constructions, to move out-

doors and animate public spaces." However, the

idea of organizing the exhibition in the former

Ministry office belongs to Polish curator Joanna

Varsha, who arranged "Project Bethlehem" -

series of exhibitions and performances in histor-

ical districts of Tbilisi - last year. On this occa-

sion, the Polish party contributed to the project

both from organizational and financial point of view.

For three days in July, the fantastic former

Ministry of Highways office transformed into hor-

izontal cooperation diagram, in which one single

action was capable of changing the whole proj-

ect. This was the only opportunity to open the

building to the public before its overhaul as Bank

of Georgia headquarters.

At the time being, former Ministry of

Georgia. After the end of repair works, this

building will house headquarters of the bank.

This construction, designed by Giorgi

Chakhava, has been attributed the status of

architectural monument.

Institute of Architecture

- July Chronicle

On July 8 2010 exhibition hall "Universe" launched exhibition of works by Czech and

Georgian students, reflecting the progress of a project, implemented under a cooperation pro-

gram, established by architectural faculties of Tbilisi and Prague Technical Universities. The

exhibition is funded by a Czech grant program, involving master classes delivered by famous

Czech architect Jan Bochan in Georgia and Prague Technical Universities.

During the last semester, Georgian and Czech students worked on urban development

problems of Prague and Tbilisi.

A group of 5 students and two professors paid a special visit Tbilisi under this program

in July and exhibited their works together with Georgian students. In September, 5 best Georgian

student architects will pay an exchange visit to the Czech Republic and present their works in

Prague School of Architecture.

On July 9, the second day of student exhibition, Faculty of Architecture, Urbanistics and

Design of Georgian Technical University hosted scientific conference "Major Issues of Tbilisi

Architecture and Urban Development", organized under supervision of professor Gocha

Mikiashvili, the dean of Faculty of Architecture, Urbanistics and Design of Georgian Technical

University.

The conference aimed at raising awareness on the current challenges of Tbilisi architec-

ture and urban developments, involving the public and governmental structures into profession-

al discussion of possible solutions to these problems, sharing the experience gained and the-

oretical and practical results achieved by architects and creative groups within this sphere, fos-

tering creation of new links and partnerships, supporting professional development of younger

generation.

The Most Important Concern -

Purpose of MankindOn June 8 2010 artist Tengiz Sepiashvili launched his personal exhibition in exhibition center ExpoGeorgia. The exhi-

bition featured artist's new infatuation: large mobile iron constructions.

Tengiz Sepiashvili exhibited his first works in the 1970'ies. His art - harmonious mixture of surrealism, pop art and sym-

bolism - quickly became popular with Georgian public. Thirty years later, Tengiz Sepiashvili came to the fore once again in

his usual original and interesting manner. As he says, he now goes through the stage when his emotions and everyday

experiences can no longer be squeezed into flat two-dimensional existence and they are ready to be transposed into space

and movement. The kinetic objects he exhibited in ExpoGeorgia express his present-day feelings in the best way. One look

is enough to understand that the artist's biggest concern is purpose of mankind. Crucifixion, confession, transfiguration, time

and space, man and woman - these issues were expressed in a synthesis of cardboard, mirror, iron and plastic. The series

of exhibition works was created in just 5 months - the author found this brief period of time sufficient to express his life

experience and the emotions deposited in his soul.

Exhibition of Tengiz Sepiashvili's works ended on June 12.

Vaho Muskheli Vaho Muskheli grew up in Tbilisi, capitol of the Republic of Georgia.

He had ten years of formal art education at the Art College of Jacob Nicoladze

(the renowned sculptor and pupil of Rodin) and subsequently at the pres-

tigious Georgian State Academy of Fine Arts. He devoted four years teach-

ing painting at the Tbilisi Children's Art School before being appointed Art

Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1990 Vaho came to the United

States as an invited artist for the Goodwill Games to represent Eastern European art. Since then he has

had numerous solo exhibitions in Seattle, where he teaches master classes and paints full time. Vaho's

paintings are held in private collections in the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Republic of

Georgia.

This summer Vaho Muskheli visited Georgia and introduced his new works to the public. Starting

with June 29 2010, exhibition of his works was arranged in Baia Gallery, and on September 15 2010,

his personal exhibition launched in Vernissage Gallery.

Vaho Muskheli offers a distinctive selection of work ranging from richly imagined landscapes, por-

traits, figurative and representational images to male figure studies.

- "Every feeling has a motion"- This expresses Vaho's belief that the inner world of the human being

can be illuminated through the figure with its infinite capacity for expression. Through painting he searched

for the gestures and symbols that convey the subtle world of human feeling in a way that can be uni-

versally appreciated. Inspired by his own life experiences, he creates luminous canvases that evoke

strong visual and emotional responses in the viewer that the eye wants to visit again and again.

- "Every motion of the body is a short word in a long sentence. The landscapes in my paintings,

the mysterious horizons, the divine light from the sky, the narrow roads cut through the mountains, some

leading to the edge of the cliff while others fade to the depths of eternity - these complete the sentence."

Vaho paints exclusively in oil on canvases of small to monumental format. Over the years he has

developed methods and mediums that enable him to express his ideas with swiftness and accuracy

while allowing complete freedom of imagination during the painting process.

- "Michelangelo taught me how to draw, Rembrandt showed me color and Bruegel taught me how

to think."

While he may make dozens of drawings in preparation for a painting, once the foundations have

been laid he gives the imagination free rein in a dynamic conversation with the evolving canvas. Images.

In 2000, with blessing of His Holiness

and Beatitude Ilia II, Catholicos Patriarch

of Georgia, St. Nino Cloister in Foka, high-

land Ajara, began to work on revival of

ancient cloisonné enamel techniques and

founded Fokan workshop, directed by

David Kakabadze Jr.

Initially, the workshop was only

engaged in production of churchware.

History of Fokan Workshops

117

stili #36. 2010

In 2003, Foka Monastery launched

ceramics and china painting workshops

(directed respectively by Nino Gelekva and

Shorena Kopadze). A mosaic workshop

was established in 2006; with time, Fokan

Workshops were extended to Tbilisi.

During the recent years, numerous

exhibition of articles manufactured in

Fokan Workshops were arranged in Tbilisi;

in 2007 and 2008 Fokan Workshops sent

their expositions to Italy, France and

Sweden.

In 2010, Fokan Workshops started to

produce jewelry with active involvement

of David Chkheidze; at the time being, the

Workshops maintain activities three major

spheres: enamel, mosaic and ceramics,

and their products are intended both for

ecclesiastic and secular use.

By now, the articles made in Fokan

Workshops are distributed in almost all the

churches and monasteries of Georgia

and enjoy a great deal of popularity in for-

eign ecclesiastic centers, like Mount Athos

and Vatican, Jerusalem, Greek, Bulgarian,

Serbian, Russian and Romanian

Patriarchies.

Philosophy: preservation of rich

Georgian artistic traditions and their devel-

opment, innovation, continuous dialogue

between the past and the modern time,

reaching of the eternal through beauty.

Trade mark: white lily.

Lily is the ancient symbol of purity,

peace, resurrection and royalty. Several

lilies set on one stem designate virginity,

resurrection and immortality; in Christianity,

the lily symbolizes the Trinity and three

virtues: faith, hope and tolerance. For Fokan

Workshops, this symbol perfectly describes

their mission: to revive, preserve, devel-

op and enrich ancient traditions of enam-

el, jewelry and ceramics.TAMAR MIRIANASHVILI

... While I am painting, there are moments

when my hand suddenly starts to move by

itself, without "asking my permission." And

after it finally returns back under my conscious

control, it surprisingly seems like the painting

is mostly completed... Such mysterious

episodes do not last long (otherwise, it would

be insanity), but this is what I actually define

as "Happiness."

Some of his oils appear like ancient frescos,

but feel absolutely contemporary. Some, on first

glance, "abstracts" surprisingly turn into totally

realistic Nudes.

... Paintings are, in fact, living creatures: they

breathe, think and talk, (although, in some

inexplicable international tongue). That's why

I suppose the artists should better keep

silence, letting the art to speak instead.

To note, his canvases seem to be alive

indeed...

Soso Nadiradze's paintings are stored in

private collections across the Europe. The

artist exhibited his works in Italy, Germany,

Turkey and in North America.

Innocent and pureforms and symbols

“Material is not the reality; material has to be searched in us…”

Marc Chagall (1887-1985)

According to Walter Benjamen, everything that leads to progress is defendable…

Many modern artists are inspired by the innovative technologies. The artist that I am

going to present here has tried to add artistic value to the rigid mechanic world with

the organic character.

After having worked with canvas and oil paints for 30 years, Nana Tsikaridze,

Georgian artist, found herself interested in computers. Once, having realized how much

effort and money is spent on filling interiors with artwork, which is not artistically valu-

able, she thought of a cheaper and faster way of producing artwork that would have

artistic spirit in it. With little knowledge of Photoshop software she tried to come up

with electronic expressions of her inner world.

Nana Tsikaridze’s prints are exclusively used to decorate interiors of residential

houses, restaurants and some other public places, because their vibrant colors and

“mild” content are highly suitable for interior spaces. Material value plays a consider-

able role as well: many people appear willing to decorate their interiors with efficient,

but inexpensive artwork. The artist’s dream is to see her works - “innocent and pure

forms and symbols” - on industrially produced items such as crockery, stationery, etc.

Nana's technique is very simple. The process starts with inspiration; firstly, she

tries to come up with a definitive image, after the main composition is finalized, she

continues playing with colors, forms and shapes using Photoshop filters. The artist

amply uses curving lines in her works, contours are very crucial elements that create

the form and generate the composition. Her works are two-dimensional, therefore a

lot of attention is given to inventing of fantastic textures and daring application of col-

ors. There is no geometric precision in the forms she uses, though at the same time

you can feel a sense of symmetry. Her compositions are very intense, pulsating with

movement, chaos and energy of life.

Nana’s favorite artist in Marc Chagall; she says that the spirit of Chagall’s work

is very close to her way of perceiving and interpreting the art. The quote of Chagall:

"If a symbol be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result

I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be inter-

preted according to taste.” really reflects the nature of her work.
