About the project (provided by the applicant)
“White City Transport Hub” is a dream of traveling without transport. No transfers, no seats, no fellow passengers—only a media environment for communication and interaction with travelers. There are information boards, announcements about delays and gate changes, but instead of a noisy airport filled with thousands of people, the traveler departs for their destination from a forest clearing. While waiting for boarding, you choose your direction, and the flight attendants hand you a ticket and help you find your gate. For guests familiar with Archstoyanie, this recalls 2009, when a timetable of non-existent flights first appeared in the forest. Sixteen years later, the project once again does not aim to solve environmental or architectural problems but instead expresses hope for an alternative, non-antagonistic coexistence of nature and civilization.
