village
By Victoria Gouzikovski
Village is a set of architectures that modulate the power dynamics of the gaze in public space. Situated in the commons, the community of structures generates togetherness through solitude, awareness through enclosure, and privacy in public. The architectures serve as devices to condition the perception of the subjects of the commons by creating alternative fields of visibility and perceptual vantage points.
The architectural community is the product of spatial research of the commons, performative reflexive strategies, and theoretical experimentation. The trajectory is supported by artistic installations, performance works, and archival practices that culminated in this urban design solution.

Victoria is an architect for conceptual and physical spaces with heterotopic purposes. These architectures arise from spatial research and artistic practice, borrowing techniques from other disciplines. The works stem from research that examines the conceptual and physical structures that condition the subject and use artistic practice to design architectures within a speculative realm. The works are then integrated into the public realm as functional spaces.
