Za Architects

Zaarchitects is an architectural office founded in 2009 by two partners Dmitriy Zhuikov and Arina Agieieva. Started in Ukraine, boosted in Bauhaus, matured in Switzerland, currently based and operating in Germany. We blend achievements of different cultures, and industries. Zaarchitects is active in architecture and industrial design. In our practice, we are trying to make a step beyond today, beyond normal and yet to stay realistic. We create new experiences, new forms of existence, new social models. Among others, we developed a number of experimental projects, e.g. Mars Colonization and Revitalization of Chernobyl Zone. Projects of Zaarchitects were exhibited at MoMA; published in WIRED and National Geographic. Among other activities, we are currently collaborating with a 4th Planet Logistics, a US-Based Company whose goal is to create and test Martian habitat from naturally occurring terrestrial lava caves.
