Evolution of my interests

↓ Study of Centralization

Focus on systems of planning and governance under centralized structures of power — authoritarian regimes rooted in ideologies (fascism, communism), modernist absolutism and resulting cognitive dissonance and spatial distortions.

Study of centralized structures of power in architecture and urban planning. Authoritarianism, modernist absolutism and urban utopias. Practice as an architect and urban planner.

↓ Spatial Distortions & System Science

Spatial system distortions — fragmentation, dispersion, dissociation, polarization, entropy, voids. Focus on problem solving in the operational layer of spaces.

Focus on spatial distortions and cognitive dissonance. Turn to system science. Practice as an urban designer and researcher.

↓ Higher Order of Space & System Interfaces

Spatial mechanisms as projections of higher order of space residing in the systemic layers of spatial reality. Study of interfaces where informational spaces and physical spaces meet.

Study of higher order of spatial reality, informational reality and interfaces. Practice as spatial system researcher.

↓ Blockchain Technology & Decentralization

Developing expertise in new systems rooted in decentralization and distribution. Ubiquitous technology, intelligent systems, digital realm. Examination of the centralized <> decentralized spectrum of operations.

Working with advanced technology, distributed urban networks, digital twinning and synthetic realms. Practice as system architect and technology specialist.

↓ Extended Reality & Meta-Systems

Working with blockchain-based applications, spatial system concepts in Web3 sphere — synthetic environment of Extended Reality, Metaverse and virtual ecosystems. Developing system interfacing and interoperability between virtual and physical reality.

Establishing a practice as a specialist for Extended Reality ecosystems.

Experience

10+ years of experience working in spatial development (design, research, strategy). I held assistant, associate, lead and directorial positions, and cooperated on projects globally (USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, Russia, Sweden etc.).

Currently I work with tech companies, bridging spatial development with XR systems and applications.
