For the second time СANactions held the International Workshop dedicated to the revitalization of Telychka area.
The results of last year workshop have gained the considerable resonance:
> attracted the public attention to the abandoned area
> revealed the potential of this area for many years ahead
> worked on the ideas which formed the basis of the Zotov&Co concept all around Telychka (107 ha)
and formed the basis for the ideas of architectural residence during the festival Gogolfest "Quiet Move"
Also considering these achievements, the team of the previous workshop worked out the vision for the area development.
This year the three teams were engaged in three directions:
> software - the social aspect
This team’s approach involves the creation of communities on the site as one of main factors for the territory preferred progress.
> hardware - environment
This team has introduced a scheme of adaptive master plan and demonstrated one of the options of the step-by-step territory development. Adaptive planning approach is the only approach which can lead to the achievement of the goals in our unstable political, economic and social conditions.
> orgware - organization
This team proposed to create a platform that promotes the development of local communities and coordinates the development of the area using the adaptive planning.
In conclusion, Telychka is neither area nor business, but it is people, it is us who should work for a common goal. Only when we gather all the driving forces around the Telychka platform, CANactions School for Urban Studies, we can succeed.

The CANactions Festival finale, closing evening and night - is a big music event, 99% complete, that combines two positions of attitude for the sound and the reaction to it.
99% complete - is almost the end, but at the same time is not.
this remaining 1 % defines the rest, It give the complete view to the form.
99% - is the hard work, rutine. 1% - is weekend, relaxation and pleasure.
the CANactions Festival finale, closing evening and night - is a big music event, 99% complete, that combines two positions of attitude for the sound and the reaction to it.
This Festival Finale is the Architeture, that is cristalized into the sound.
the first part at 20:30 - is experimental. Three artists will share the stage:
Yevgen Vashchenko, Stanislav Bobrytsky, Maxim Verner
Yevgen Vashchenko (v4w.enko) creates sound and visual compositions, which are based on user application MAX MSP;
visual instrument of coding,
that is used to create interactive visual constructions and complex interactive environments.
pseudonymous v4w.enko Yevgen performs and develops algorithmic instruments, installations, sounds, objects, visual effects and images.
Stanislav Bobrytsky represents more abstract, and less describable side of mucis flows, and the development logic of his works goes from "structural" to " acoustical".
he plays multileyered noise, solo on patchy analogue zoo.
Droning synth swarm, controlled randomness of generative rhythms - and warm tube melodies in the spirit of retro futurism.
Maxim Verner uses analogue synths and sound modificators in his creations.
His sound mightbe either serious disturbngto the unprepared to experimental music ear, or pleasant and melodic, spellbinding creation with its own dramaturgy, ups and downs
His moto in music - noise, glitch and improvisation.
the second part, at 23:00 - is techno. But not the techno as utilitarian dry rhythm, techno - as a really capacious, deep, beautiful, viscous, absorbing and making move sound, that flows from one form into another. This part is presented by three musicians,composers of contemporary electro sceen:
Georgii Babansky (Komitet), Anton Degtyaryov (Quarkmonk) and Denis Voloshin (midi8).
the important part of 99% complete is visual program from TENPOINT - poets of VJing.
Curator: Alexander Dolgiy, ЭFIR studio.

Kyiv residents are local specialists of the city’s peculiarities. They can identify the unique places emotionally close to them, where they enjoy spending time, the hidden treasures of their city, or places which generally provoke kind interactions between fellow city dwellers. These are what we call ‘positive public places’

Landscaping of the park of Partisan Glory
This Thursday we'll continue our acquaintance with the finalists of the contest of the park of Partisan Glory landscaping and we'll be introduced some more concepts visions of the future of one of the largest green areas in Kharkivskiy array.
The concept of development, presented by Parasol Studio, is based on the belief that "in creating a public area, must first pay attention neither to the modernity of the architectural solutions, nor to the originality of the entrance group, but to the opportunities, which it gives to the visitors'.
The landscape designer Antonina Piskunova believes that the environment directly affects the people's minds. That's why we should grow up and live in as comfortable conditions as it is possible. Exactly so the idea of developing the park was created: a park for yourself, a place, where it would be interesting to spend time for every visitor.
A team AIMM-GROUP found their way to the solution of the landscaping problem in architectural design and they propose to solve urgent problems by local including of the architectural objects into the system of the park.
