"We can only talk about architecture after we agree that 

architecture does not mean just construction but also implies 

creation of space, social environment, a universe around us, 

because architecture exists on the verge of vision and reality." 

This conception, voiced by Aaron Betsky, director of the 

11th Venice Biennale of 2008, served as a backbone for the 

exposition. 

"Mirza Shafi Street Development - Old City Ambience and 

Emanation" - one of the project exhibited at Venice Biennale 

2008 by the Georgian architects - answers the above conception 

as follows: "we look for a comfortable architectural identity 

in old and in new. We wish to feel "at home" in the modern 

world. The driving force behind our creative activities is the 

ambience, the emanation of old city".

Redesigned 

Alexander 

Park 

Still another beautifully decorated park with fountains and 

lanterns opened in Tbilisi. Alexander Park exists since the 18th 

century. This old park remained untended for so many years that 

it required urgent rehabilitation and renovation. Rehabilitation project 

started last spring and was finished in 7 months. The 3 ha 

area was decorated with new plants; lanterns and benches were 

installed; special paths were set up for disabled people. 

Rehabilitation works in April 9 Park will be finalized in May 2009. 

What is most important, two more public gardens are being renovated 

in Tbilisi at the time being: population of Tbilisi will soon 

be able to spend their time in redesigned Dedaena and March 

9 Gardens. 

Gamgeoba of Tbilisi had announced a tender on landscape 

22 

design and public space reconstruction of April 9, Dedaena and 

March 9 Parks. The tender was won by truly original reconstruction 

projects, created by architect David Khurtsilava. 

STYLE Magazine has had an opportunity to interview architect 

David Khurtsilava on his projects. 

Landscape architecture and design attract increasing 

attention in our architectural reality. Consequently, most of 

residential houses, large apartment blocks and public spaces 

are designed and approved for construction only if they are 

accompanied with a relevant landscape design solution. Our 

country has rich experience in landscape architecture. How 

would you comment the historical tradition of landscape archi- 

tecture in Tbilisi? 

Tbilisi and its suburbs had been decorated with gardens 

since the middle ages. City plan drafted by Vakhushti Batonishvili 

in 1735 marks 11 gardens within the city and in its outskirts. 

Their majority belonged to aristocrats and members of the royal 

family. 

Most of the city and its gardens together with their constructions, 

fountains and irrigation networks were destroyed during invasion 

of Agha Mohammed Khan in 1795. 

Later on, as we can see from city plans created in the first 

decades of the 19th century, the green part of the city was restored. 

Some gardens were restored in early 19th century in Sololaki, 

Seidabad and present-day Botanical Garden areas. At a certain

distance from Tbilisi popular Ortachala and Krtsanisi Gardens were 

created. 

On what principles was creation of public gardens based? 

Due to the complex relief Tbilisi, design of gardens in the 

city was mostly based on free, landscape principles of planning 

and plant distribution. 

European traditions of landscape design were gradually introduced 

in the 1820-1830’ies. It is in this period that planting of 

public gardens started. 

When was the first European-style public garden created 

in Tbilisi? 

The first of such public gardens was created in the 1820’ies 

in Sololaki area. It was called “palace garden” and was located 

behind the Viceroy’s residence. 

Prior to developing the Alexander Park reconstruction 

project, you carefully studied the history of this public garden. 

Can you please tell us about this in a couple of words? 

Alexander Park was established in the center of new Tbilisi, 

which was a suburb back then. This suburb area developed on 

the north-western outskirts of downtown Kala district in the middle 

ages; in the first half of the 19th century it covered presentday 

Sololaki, Rustaveli Avenue and its adjoining territory spread 

out between Mtkvari and Mtatsminda. 

Alexander Park was designed in 1859 by German architect 

Otto Jacob Simonson. His project included fountains, terraces 

and other constructions. The planting process was supervised 

by German botanist and landscape architect Heinrich Carl Verner 

Scharer, who was appointed inspector of Tbilisi gardens in 1859; 

he also supervised restoration of Viceroy’s residence garden and 

took part in development of Borjomi and Tetri Tskaro Parks. In 

1861-1889 Scharer was a director of Tbilisi Botanical Garden. 

Decoration of Alexander Park area took 4 years. In 1863 

this English-style park was launched and named Alexander Park 

in honor of Emperor Alexander II. 

At different times constructions of different architectural 

value were built in Alexander Park. Did their existence 

influence your project? 

Alexander Park area contained the headquarters of Caucasian 

Agricultural Society and Pushkin Library (present-day Department 

of Monument Protection). 

In 1885, construction of “the Temple of Glory” started in the 

western part of the Park (architect Albert Zaltsman). The construction 

went on until 1893; nowadays this building houses the 

Georgian State Gallery. 

In the lower part of the Park – near the exit to Nikoladze 

Bridge, there was Alexander Nevsky Chapel, and the lower terrace 

housed the Armenian Gregorian St. Nicholas Church. 

Unfortunately, both these constructions were destroyed in the Soviet 

period. 

In 1910 construction of St. Nicholas Kashveti Church was 

finalized. The initial church was built in this place in the 6th century 

and reconstructed several times later on; finally, the present-day 

Kashveti Church was built here in 1904-1910 according 

to Leopold Bielfeld’s project. 

There also was a number of temporary constructions in 

Alexander Park; at different times, several monuments were installed 

there. 

Alexander Park changed significantly in the Soviet period. 

What were the main reasons of this transformation? 

In the middle of the 20th century the garden was divided 

into two almost equal parts by a tram route. Construction of a 

new street considerably diminished the territory of the park and 

damaged its integrity. 

In 1958 the park was increased at the expense of former 

Hygiene House and plants and trees of rare varieties were planted 

there. In the same period, a decorative pool designed by 

Z. Tsereteli was arranged in the lower part of the park. 

What was the condition of Alexander Park before rehabilitation? 

Nowadays the area of the park amounts to 4.3 ha – much 

less than it was initially. Not only the area of the garden was 

decreased, but its landscape planning structure got disrupted 

and collection of rare plants decreased significantly. Besides the 

fact that the green surface of the garden was left untreated for 

a long time, some illegal constructions were installed there. 

When will the rehabilitation works finish in the gardens 

we have listed above? 

Rehabilitation of April 9 Park is virtually finalized; as 

regards Dedaena and March 9 Gardens, their rehabilitation will 

probably last through until August 2009. The total area of these 

three gardens amounts to 5 ha. Youth sports grounds, an artificial 

alpinist wall and bookseller stalls will be set up in Dedaena 

Garden to make it a favorite resting place for children and 

teenagers. As regards the March 9 Garden, it will offer artists 

an opportunity to arrange sales and exhibitions.

Professionalism implying the level of skill 

Professionalism of architects Mamuka Chkhaidze 

and Archil Razmadze is efficiently revealed by the public 

or residential constructions they have designed, by 

architectural expressivity of their volumetric compositions, 

harmonious integrity of the whole and its constituent 

parts. Spatial-planning solution of the compositions, 

purposeful utilization of various construction mate- 

rials, texture and color effects, matching of the building 

with its surroundings – this is a guarantee to successful 

architectural solution. The architects found 

architectural image of their constructions on modern 

architectural composition and flexibility. As a result, the 

buildings with their unusual forms seamlessly merge 

with their natural setting. Motion of oblique, curved and 

diagonal surfaces on the facades integrates the buildings 

with their surroundings. 

The authors have combined two seemingly controversial 

qualities – careful approach toward the architectural 

setting and strength of expression. While 

designing a project of a residential house or a hotel 

the architect feels like a stage director having to pres

ent to spectators a chain of harmony and contrast. 

A range of innovative solutions, starting with lavish 

expanse of glazed surfaces and prominently shaped 

facades provides the designs with all the characteristic 

features of modern urban architecture, further 

highlighted by localized character of special structure, 

technical integrity of construction schemes, materials 

and artistic forms, rationality of creative solution. 

The unity of expressive forms is achieved due 

to the variety of details serving to achieve the main 

goal. Every building is integrated with its surroundings, 

while retaining every bit of its individuality. Each 

of them has independent artistic significance and special 

emotional coloring.

On May 1 Dutch company “Dutch Design Garden” 

arranged launch-of-a-season presentation in Tbilisi. 

Dutch Design Garden established itself in Georgia in 

2007. Founder of this business is prominent Dutch designer 

Martin Veltkamp. Mr. Veltkamp has been engaged 

in professional activities for 25 years already; together 

with his creative team he designs gardens all over 

the world. 

Dutch Design Garden has already realized several 

important public and private garden design projects 

in Georgia; the most notable of them is Dadiani Palace 

garden in Zugdidi. 

The largest of the company’s Georgia-based projects 

was recently approved by Tbilisi City Hall. The 

project implies construction of an entertainment complex 

in Rike area of old Tbilisi. Design of the project 

New Season 

of Dutch 

Design 

Garden 

belongs to Martin Veltkamp. 

It is noteworthy that in spite of current economic 

crisis Dutch Design Garden has made important investments 

in Georgia and plans to continue its activities in 

this direction in the future. 

Dutch Design Garden offers its clients 4000 varieties 

of decorative trees and plants and exclusive waterresistant 

garden furniture.

The company’s showroom features innumerable 

objects intended for decoration of gardens 

and verandas, starting with trampolines and ending 

with scented candles, parasols and rare plants. 

Wide choice of products can fully satisfy the 

taste of any consumer. The company imports 

goods from Spain, Belgium, USA and many other 

countries – this is one of the main reasons 

accounting for the high quality it offers to its 

clients. 

Dutch Design Garden also distributes topquality 

English Farrow And Ball paints. These 

paints, distinguished with their bright and lasting 

colors, can be efficiently applied to any kind 

of surface. 

Presentation of Dutch Design Garden was 

arranged in the company’s office and garden. 

The ceremony was attended by Mayor of Tbilisi 

and City Hall officials, Georgian businessmen 

and representatives of the Chamber of 

Commerce. At the very first step inside the presentation 

area we found ourselves in a fantastic 

world of original design and uniquely beautiful 

plants, created by Martin Veltkamp. Designer’s 

creative vision and effort interpreted formal 

beauty with singular freedom of talent and refined 

intellect. Within the integral composition combinations 

of particular details and nuances stand 

out like sculptures charged with static energy, 

and this sculptural space imposes its own rules 

upon the universe. The diversity of vantage points 

brings to the fore varying scales and incessant 

motion of the objects. 

The spaces designed by Martin Veltcamp 

are strange, infinitely strange. Garden “interior”, 

minor architectural forms, dynamics of still figures, 

natural colors… Surprising is their diversity, 

unexpected is expression of their form… 

For a brief instant, we find ourselves face 

to face with our host… 

His shrewd glance, shining with creative energy, 

hints at something, half-hides and half-reveals 

the reality, just like the beautiful art he has creates 

– the art so unusual and exquisite that 

you cannot restrain your admiration. 

In nature the metaphysical plane of beauty 

is not limited to purely aesthetic perception 

– on the contrary, it is complex and boundless, 

making it extremely difficult to transform everything 

into meaningful matter, to find ideal form 

reflecting inner spirituality. But a true artist is 

capable of winning this hard battle.

Memorial 

to the 

dead 

warriors 

On January 21-22 2009 Ministry of Culture, Monument 

Protection and Sport and Ministry of Defense of Georgia 

announced a competition on the concept of Mukhatgverdi 

Communal Grave in memoriam of the soldiers killed during 

the military conflict of August 2008. Competition terms were 

published in “24 Hours” newspaper and on the web pages of 

both ministries; the action was publicized by Georgian TV channels. 

Competition materials were retrieved by 38 architects and 

entries were submitted by 24 of them. 

Evaluation of the entries was entrusted to a commission, 

formed under decree no. 3/9 issued by Minister of Culture, 

Monument Protection and Sport on February 23 2009, and 

comprising the following members: 

Marine Chogoshvili - deputy minister of Culture, Monument 

Protection and Sports of Georgia and chairman of the jury; 

Nikoloz Abashidze - architect; David Abuladze - architect, president 

of the Union of Architects of Georgia; Nodar Amashukeli 

- architect, dean of the architectural faculty of Tbilisi State Academy 

of Art; Nikoloz Dadiani - member of Architecture, Art and 

Restoration Board of the Georgian Patriarchy; Nugzar Davlianidze 

- head of capital construction department of the Development 

Service of Tbilisi City Hall; Koba Liklikadze - military analyst 

of radio “Tavisupleba”, member of Democracy and Development 

Foundation; Irakli Zhvania - sculptor; Mamuka Kherkheulidze 

- deputy director of the administrative department of the Ministry 

of Defense of Georgia; Giorgi Khoshtaria - expert, art critic. 

On February 24 2009 competition materials were exhibited 

in Tbilisi History Museum. 

The jury arranged two working sessions to identify the 

best project. The competition was closed; the winning project, 

designed by architects Lado and Giorgi Khmaladze, was 

announced on February 25, at the exhibition arranged in Karvasla. 

Below please find an extract from project explication: 

Almost all forms of art have comparatively difficult themes. 

In architecture and monumental art such theme is a grave, 

which requires increased degree of moderation and rejects all 

inexpediency. 

And since these young men coming from totally different 

walks of life had one destiny - to sacrifice themselves to their 

homeland in the August war - the authors decided to found 

their conception on this fact and turn Mukhatgverdi cemetery 

into one large bed of honor.

The site, sloping from west to east by 6 meters, was a 

perfect match for the project. 

The cemetery has been broken down into 4 equal parts 

by a crossing of two linear and lateral axes. One of these segments 

is already “populated”, and the other 3 are comparatively 

vacant. As noted above, the whole site is perceived as one 

integral memorial grave and the architects strove to realize this 

solution by applying homogeneous artistic means. The main - 

east - entrance to the cemetery is decorated by two right-angled 

triangles standing side by side and forming together a 12-meter 

long and 6-meter tall equilateral triangle. Facing vertical sides 

of the two triangles are carved; in unity, these carved sides 

form an ark shaped like St. Nino’s temple. This polysemantic 

image impersonates a gateway into eternity, a door leading from 

the mundane world into the heaven, a symbol invisible and 

material at the same time, like the souls of the young men 

buried in this cemetery and those of the other people, who 

devoted their lives to the well-being of our country. 

The crossing of linear and lateral axes is decorated by 

2.5 meter high concrete composition depicting a shield and a 

sword. The monument is crowned by eternal light. Area to the 

west from the linear axis, where a solitary fir-tree is growing, 

is allocated for a rest zone. 

The sloping surface of the site where the graves are located 

is paved with decorative stone slabs. The graves themselves 

are 100 cm wide and 200 cm long; their surface is lev- 

stili #32. 2009 

eled and planted with grass; the only dominant is a miniature 

model of 12 by 6 meter entrance monument at the head of 

each grave. The only difference between the main memorial 

and its miniature replicas is that in case of the latter the shape 

of St. Nino’s temple is replaced by a transparent cross (or a 

vertical slit if the deceased is not a Christian), under which 

there is a granite niche containing the soldier’s photo, memorial 

inscription and a candle socket. 

The perimeter of the cemetery is bordered by a row of cypresses. 

Symbolically, this line of tall slim trees stands to guard the 

deceased, whose remains will dissipate and feed the “guardians’” 

roots, so that in the distant future the heroes lying at the cemetery 

will be transfigured into everlasting green monuments.

Cinestar 

Cinestar at the Avenue Mall in Zagber 

(CROATIA) is the first of six multiplexes to bi 

built by the local concern Blitz-CineStar in the 

towns of Split, Zadar, Sebenik, Osijek and 

Varazdin. 

It is located on a large, third-generation 

commercial complex at the junction of the main 

thoroughfares. Its nine theaters can seat 

approximately 1800 spectators and offer stateof-the-art 

digital projection systems and ultimate 

comfort for spectators. 

The project was designed by architect 

Marco Rodda, and it integrates the possibility 

to manage several lighting ambiances with a 

particular attention to safety standards, as 

required by a building with this kind of function. 

The lighting of areas used for ticket offices, 

food services and passing ways has been 

achieved with Team fixtures whereas for offices 

and meeting rooms the architect has opted for 

the Thot modular pendant system with polycarbonate 

diffuser of low luminance optics. 

Team is a multi-source downlight for halogen 

and metal halide lamps. It is made up of 

a metal plate counterframe and a metal perimeter 

frame, both painted. The painted die-cast 

aluminum aptics are adjustable (+/-22*). It is 

fitted with the patented FLASH loking system 

for 0-30mm false ceilings, which makes installation 

operations easier and faster. 

Thot is a modular, pendant, ceiling, wall 

and recessed lighting system. It is constructed 

in extruded aluminum and uses linear T16 

fluorescent light sources. Thot is available with 

polycarbonate diffuser, extremely low luminance 

optics, Dark Light in specular aluminum 

or matt aluminum.

Ilirica 

In tiny Slovenia, things change at an astonishing speed, if you used to hand out in 

Ljubljana just ten years ago, you would very quickly forget the doom and gloom that the 

Communist regime had managed to steep all the towns of the former Yugoslavia in. 

The head office of Ilirica, one of Slovenia’s most prestigious financial investment firms, 

occupies a building with was erected on Slovenska Cesta, one of the town’s busiest thoroughfares, 

during the regime. 

Architect Marco Rodda is the author of this project too. 

The lighting of office spaces and passageways has been achieved with Thot and Sharp 

fluorescence systems, fixtures that have proved to perform particularly well thanks to the 

use of low luminance optics and polycarbonate diffusers. 

Thot is a modular, pendant ceiling , wall and recessed lighting system. It is produced 

in extruded aluminum and uses linear T16 fluorescent light sources.Thot is available with 

polycarbonate diffuser, axtremely low luminance optics, Dark Light in specular aluminum or 

matt aluminum. 

Sharp is a lighting system for fluorescent linear single and dual-lamp light sources, single 

and dual-emission, available in the wall, ceiling and pendant versions. 

The lamp body can be adjusted by 355° by means of the suitable joints. Available with 

polycarbonate diffuser, polycarbonate grid screen, Dark Light single-lamp, low luminance, 

comfort and Dark Light UGR optics.

Style in Conformance with Lifestyle 

When a public interior is designed by a professional, the result is 

sure to possess such qualities as originality, functional and aesthetic 

conformance to definite demands. Interior of Weapon-shop in Klaipeda 

(Lithuania), designed by Architect Aneta Reviakina, boasts diversity of 

forms, based on a supreme compositional principle. 

Refined taste of the author turned this public space into an integral 

and original interior featuring a diversity of decor motives, flexible

volume and color solutions and architectural rhythms. All these feats 

served to achieve just one task – creation of a comfortable, perfect, 

aesthetically unique interior space. 

Creative freedom made it possible to ensure stylistic integrity, which 

does not require further explanation and is in full conformance with the 

lifestyle of the shop.

International Furniture and Design Exhibition 

in Milan - Internazionale del Mobile 

stili #32. 2009 

On April 22-27 2009 Milan hosted the most important 

event in the sphere of furniture production and interior design 

- exhibition I Saloni Milano. Apparently, the lack of economic 

stability did not have any influence on the creative 

potential of designers and furniture manufacturers; in any 

case, international sale-exhibition was organized with its usual 

luxury and splendor. 

2723 exhibitors (including 911 non-Italian companies) featured 

their recent achievements at I Saloni and SaloneSatellite. 

In the framework of I Saloni program, Salone Internazionale 

del Mobile hosted the following events: 

- International Furnishing Accessories’ Exhibition; 

- Exhibition of young designers SaloneSatellite, representing 

a final stage of an open competition; 

- Biennial exposition Euroluce, dedicated to the design 

of light fixtures. 

The main exhibition was accompanied by many other 

interesting actions, arranged in galleries, salons and open 

plazas around the city. The most notable of these was exhibition 

in Palazzo Reale titled “Magnificence and Project” and 

dedicated to the five-century history of Italian decorative art 

and design. The exhibition offered interesting parallels 

between the classical Italian furniture of the past centuries 

and the modern Italian design trends. 

From among the designs represented at I Saloni, we 

would like to specially mention the 10-Unit System, furniture 

consisting of L-shape modules, “the Cloud” - new sofa 

design by Tokujina Yoshioka, feminine designs by Studion 

Front, Fergana designs recalling Uzbek motives, inedible but 

pretty Sushi - Moroso Vegetal collection of universal chairs 

with organic structures; “Mine and Yours” - new designs by 

Frank Gehry and many others. 

Internazionale del Mobile exhibitions are organized by 

Cosmit company, leadership of which was recently passed 

to Carlo Guglielmi. Mr. Guglielmi attributed considerable importance 

to I Saloni as a highly efficient medium capable to 

uniting manufacturers of interior decoration articles, designers, 

architects and clients.

Public Interior 

For Season 

Design of modern public interior and the 

atmosphere created in it by professionals 

according to a thematic scenario result from 

long-term, laborious creative efforts. 

Public interior of For Season shop, created 

by Design Bureau designers Nia 

Mgaloblishvili, Ia Liparteliani and Sophie 

Shevardnadze is an integral entity comprising 

a harmonious variety of mobile elements. 

The open space is perceived in its entirety, 

though all of its components are equally 

important and original. The unique quality 

of their design, positioning, individuality 

is achieved with the help of unnoticeable 

touches. Each horizontal or vertical surface 

of the interior is a bold statement, unordinary 

decoration, design collage. Their compositional 

structure, coloring, synchronization 

with furniture and accessories evokes the 

feeling of perfection.

The Conception 

of Expressive 

Architectural 

Image 

In February 2009 renovated office of “Independent 

Cinema Service” and “Independent Cinema Project” 

was launched in Tbilisi. The project of this office 

was designed by “Cubic Studio”. 

The project was developed by studio founders: artist and 

architect Tamar Valishvili and designer Ketevan Samsonadze. 

Project is supervised by Tamar Basilia. 

Cubic Studio started to work on the project in May 2008. 

First stage activities implied planning, then came the time of 

interior and furniture design. When all the sketches and drawings 

were ready, the working team of Cubic Studio got involved 

into actual implementation of the project, including interior decoration 

and production of furniture. 

Lighting plays an important role in modern architecture. 

Also in this project this component occupies considerable place. 

It is commonly known that correctly planned lighting increases 

productivity of the personnel, and Cubic Studio focused 

its attention on this principle. 

This successful project greatly increased the demand on 

Cubic Studio’s services. 

Interior of this office is a free-flowing space with distinct 

individuality and precisely defined function. Simplicity, uninhibited 

planning and dynamism – these are the key principles 

which Cubic Studio used in its work. The conception of 

expressive architectural image, forming the foreground of the 

design, is strengthened by aesthetic associations and deep 

connotations. 

The interior consists of independent volumes bearing different 

emotional “colouring” depending on their functional 

specifics but efficiently merging into the general structure of 

the space. The importance of aesthetically valuable, refined 

forms is accentuated by the quality of their implementation. 

Cubic Studio’s distinctive style and refined taste successfully 

defined individuality of the interior and integrated it into the 

surrounding life.

Interior of conceptual design clothes shop JNBY, 

newly launched in Tbilisi, has been designed by architect 

Sandro Katsitadze and his Chinese colleagues. 

To create a positive environment, required for promotion 

of high quality brands, the designers created a 

modern interior space with clear-cut architectural graphics, 

original choice of furniture and contrasting colors. 

The style of the shop interior – industrial post-mod- 

64 

stili #32. 2009 

ernism design – is as free and uninhibited as that of 

the clothes it features. Unexpected design touches add 

lightness and comfort to the public space. Stylistic integrity 

of the interior does not subdue individuality and functionality 

of constituent parts; on the contrary, their diversity 

leaves the impression of weightlessness. All elements 

of the space contribute to the general feeling of 

freedom. A diverse palette of constructional and dec- 

orative details is applied to visually increase the interior 

and highlight originality of constantly changing clothes 

collections exhibited on the shelves and racks. 

The authors have succeeded in designing a highly 

comfortable space, standing as a proof to their refined 

taste and urban thinking.

The Oval 

American Restaurant 

6.Rkinis Rigi St. Tbilisi 

Designed by Architects Levan Salukvadze. Gela 

Iordanishvili. 

Architectural Company "Gils" 

One more restaurant is opened in Tbilisi with rich 

interior. 

The Oval-the shape of rugby ball- where the name 

of the restaurant comes from. Favorite place for rugby 

fans. There are ten huge TV-sets in here, where you 

can watch rugby and other interesting information 

about the games for 24 hours. 

There are 2 halls, one big bar . There are wood 

tables and chairs in the first hall. There is the special 

equipment for preparing American steaks. 

Soft armchairs in the second hall, dim light, photos 

of leading figures of Rugby and Football-make the 

ideal atmosphere for relaxing. The restaurant “The Oval” 

is always at your disposal. 

Oval’s Original compositions, articles and accessories 

are distributed within the space in accordance with definite 

rules, by large defining the general character of 

the atmosphere. The interior is filled with an array of 

interesting themes, and this is the key creative principle 

underlying its design. Such an approach allows for 

introduction of retro elements into the modern stylistics. 

The public activity within the interior is focused on several 

dominants, though in a non-localized manner. The 

visitors, looking at this improvised exposition of decorative 

articles, are sure to feel that the aesthetics of 

modern public interiors should be based not only on 

modern-style forms and objects, but also on the characteristic 

touches and associations with the past, indispensable 

for highlighting individuality of the space.

Party 

Club 

on the 

Bambis 

Rigi 

Street 

74 

This article refers to Two Side Party Club on the 

Bambis Rigi Street recently created by designer Natia 

Kariauli. In this eclectic space, diversity of functionally 

organized, highly refined and diverse design and 

utmost efficiency of forms are merged into a credibly 

integral space. Lighting, coloring, choice of accessories, 

proportions, flexible graphics – unordinary composition, 

formed by combination of these elements, is much more 

meaningful than an artificial high-tech structure would 

be in its place. 

Quiet and respectable look of the interior, where there 

are no distracting details, allocates a special function to 

every detail. The space is perceived as an entity – not 

just because of classical forms and refined color solution. 

Carefully chosen finishing materials, textures and 

warm tonalities of the furniture accentuate the imposing 

character of the atmosphere. And the main point is that 

the complex dialogue between newly-created and existing 

elements in this interior has been quite successful.

Old 

Metekhi 

Not long ago bar-restaurant Old Metekhi was opened in old 

Tbilisi, in a recently redecorated Old Metekhi Hotel. 

Authors of this project are architects Levan Salukvadze and Gela 

Iordanishvili (architectural company Gils). 

While designing the interior of Old Metekhi bar-restaurant, the 

authors skillfully adapted initial uncomfortable proportions of the space 

to the new requirements. Impression of integrity in this interior is 

achieved due to a holistic compositional and volumetric solution, 

subtle zone-to-zone décor transitions and ingenious variation of colors. 

All these expressive means successfully flavor the interior with 

unique 19th century feel. Uncomplicated and elegant style of the 

bar, fine views of old Tbilisi, spreading outside lavishly glazed windows, 

carefully selected accessories and exclusive musical background 

once again remind us the great tradition of Georgian hospitality, 

lovingly preserved by our ancestors. Old Metekhi charms us 

with the unique mixture of traditional and modern styles, which makes 

characteristic atmosphere of the place still more attractive and comfortable. 

In spite of stylistic integrity, any section of this interior retains 

its individuality. Changeability of textures and colors helps focus attention 

on particular dominant points, and varying intensity of artificial 

lighting highlights the depth of colors and forms. 

Old Metekhi lives up to its name – this bar really offers you a 

rare opportunity to return to the past and share unique Georgian 

traditions.

Panneau at 

Krombacher

New sports complex built in Gudauri according to the project 

by architect Dimitri Topuridze will soon be open to the public. 

In this article we would like to focus on the interior of Krombacher 

restaurant, functioning in the residential part of the complex. The 

place is fully synchronized with the environment due to large glazed 

windows. Architectonics of the space is refined and its perception 

is intensified by varying degrees of combination between composition 

and conventionality. You can feel the positive ecology of the 

place at the very first step. 

By adapting his professional intuition to the existing conditions 

the author succeeded in creating a characteristic environment. The 

impression of integrity in the interior is achieved due to a consistent 

compositional solution, subtle variety of decorations with skillfully 

placed highlights and colors changing from one surface to the 

other, dialogues of lines and figures and design refrains. Key component 

of the design is prevalent use of local natural materials 

(wood, stone) in decoration. 

In spite of stylistic integrity, every part of this interior retains 

stili #32. 2009 

individual features. Diversity of decoration colors and textures draws 

attention and varying intensity of lighting highlights the depth of 

form and color. 

Professionalism is always manifested in attention to detail. In 

this particular interior this can be felt everywhere – in the choice 

of textures and accessories, in the little details highlighting the author’s 

ideas, the confluence of which makes this space a harmonious 

integrity – an interesting, vast decorative panneau.

Seaside 

Twins 

Seamless integration of an architectural object with its surroundings 

is a key goal for any architect. In this particular 

case, the role of a “starting point” in the project was allocated 

to the seashore location of the site where the “Twins” were 

supposed to be built. Architect Emma Omanadze skillfully adapted 

her design to the existing conditions and maximally used 

the proximity of seashore to her advantage. 

Leading role in this Batumi-based project belongs to the 

sea, and key principle of the design is unexpectedness. The 

constituent parts of café-bar “Twins” have been positioned so 

as to organically merge with their environment. Several identical 

elongated volumes seem to float upon the waves like 

luminescent boats. Interior spaces are spread out on three 

levels with a ladder structure providing increasing level of access 

to the seascape. Café facades facing the park compositionally 

differ from the transparent “seaward” masses, adding a 

further doze of dynamics and emotion to the design. 

The complex is girdled with several originally planned open 

terraces, each independently accessible from inside and outside 

the café. The sea is so naturally merged with the buildings, 

that it is hard to find a point from which it would not be 

visible. 

Architectural masses of the café are in absolute harmony 

with their surroundings. Their reserved but elegant design 

integrates them with the landscape, at the same time satisfying 

all the functional demands relevant to a public place 

located in city center.

The modern style of a residential interior is more than just comfortable. The 

place is cozy in a special way, transforming into the reality according to its own 

artistic laws. 

The interior was designed by architect Kakha Dekanoidze. Its flexible planning, 

refined and dynamic exterior forms and original interior, filled with beautiful furniture 

and accessories, convey some unique charm. 

Design details possess special expressivity, which increases the general originality 

of design. The space feels integral in spite of being divided by visible or invisible 

barriers; general color palette of the interior is accentuated by contrasting tones 

of accessories. It is very easy to imagine how pleasant day-to-day life in this house 

would be.

Living Space 

for a Particular 

Family 

Author: Design Bureau. 

Designers: Nia Mgaloblishvili, Ia liparteliani, 

Sophio Shevardnadze 

Realization stage of interior design often yields certain 

deviations from the initial sketches. However in this particular 

case the interior created by designers Nia Mgaloblishvili, 

Ia liparteliani, Sophio Shevardnadze, is absolutely identical 

to its render version, revealing the author’s professionalism 

at its best. 

The key highlight of this residential interior is efficient development 

of design theme from zone to zone. The spaces 

with their original architectonics integrate into an utterly comfortable 

living environment. A visitor entering this apartment 

perceives its positive, pacifying atmosphere from the very first 

step and feels an urge to visit the place again and again. 

Every detail in the interior is positioned so as to stand 

out with most efficiency. Approach toward shapes, textures 

and colours clearly expresses the designer’s artistic principles 

and perfect taste. On the whole, the author’s interesting 

and original solutions aim to achieve one and only goal 

– to create a living environment, guaranteeing comfortable 

and tasteful life.

Flawless Design 

Organization of residential space, choice of colors and construction 

materials, planning of lighting systems, matching of furniture to 

interior style, selection of accessories – all of these issues should be 

solved by a designer – an expert capable of offering original ideas 

and implementing them on a professional level. Flawless design means 

creation of a harmonious interior space integrated by a general stylistic 

theme, with all the details carefully considered and the client’s 

demands and “taboos” duly taken into account. 

Interior design project developed by architect David Khurtsilava 

for an apartment located in one of Axis high-rises is a perfect sample 

of successful design with refined style and efficient functional planning. 

Even at this early stage David Khurtsilava’s design shows all 

the comfort and elegance with which the interior will be saturated 

when it is realized.

House as 

reflection of 

spiritual world 

Illustrated article titled “Alliance of Form and Color”, 

published in the 26 th issue of Style Magazine narrated 

about a residential interior designed by architect David 

Khurtsilava. 

The family, living in this extraordinarily tasteful environment, 

decided to “flavor” it with its own fantasies 

and invited the architect to assist them in this initiative. 

Every family member contributed to the project, 

first settling into the living space created for them 

and then enriching and diversifying it with individual 

stili #32. 2009 

details, seemingly unimportant but capable of affecting 

the everyday life of their house. The architect 

directed this process so as to maximally reflect the 

character, activity and ideas of apartment dwellers in 

the design of its interior. Every article in this living 

space expresses the inner world of its inhabitants, 

adding a surprising degree of comfort to the emotional 

atmosphere of the house.

Comfort and Elegance 

Sculptural clarity and symbolism of the interior design 

we are describing in this article manifests the creative 

principles of its authors – Zurab and David Nikolaishvili 

without any need to explain and comment. Compositions 

created by the designers in this interior feature the unique 

degree of interaction between mass and space – inde- 

104 

stili #32. 2009 

pendent dynamic masses act as a source of formation 

and the whole design is compositionally subjected to 

this key feature. The authors pay crucial attention to 

the flexibility of volumes and features allowing to turn 

the living environment emotional and natural. Within the 

stylistic integrity, perfect understanding of interaction 

between the inner spaces enables to fully exploit the 

richness of compositional palette. The design of this residential 

interior, together with its indispensably comfortable 

and homely atmosphere, practically reflects the taste 

and social standing of its dwellers.

Apartment 

in Tbilisi 

The illusion of motion, distinguishing open and closed 

spaces of the apartment, makes the interior feel live 

and rhythmical. In this apartment, serenity and dynamics 

are balanced and subjected to unrestricted creative 

power. Proportions of constructional elements are uninhibited,

Owner of an apartment in one of Tbilisi residential blocks 

decided to thoroughly redecorate it in accordance with his 

aesthetic requirements. With the help of professional 

designers, dull standard flat got transformed into a comfortable 

modern apartment. 

Project authors: 

Interior reconstruction – architect Guram Koshkelia 

Interior design – architects Grant Markarov, Ilia Gavriliadi 

ed with the help of partitions, exclusive furniture – all 

of this is as much functional as elegant. Space 

expressed in terms of abstract forms provides boundless 

diversity. 

Architectural and planning solution of the interior 

had been based on two important requirements – one 

was to the interior is absolutely modern and cosmo- 

politan, while the other to retain its “local” character 

and match it to the inhabitants’ daily life style. 

Wisely selected natural construction materials, 

accessories and minor details turn the apartment into 

a memorable, comfortable and clean living environment.

Diversity 

of Interior 

Spaces 

Residential and public interiors realized 

in different districts of Tbilisi according to Aleko 

Korkotashvili’s projects offer a wide variety of 

original and clearly individual designs. In 

each particular case, volumetric compositions 

feature unusual relationship between mass and 

space, one of which acts as a source of shape 

formation and the other - provides a milieu 

in which the sculptural quality of the former 

will stand out at its best. In creating emotionally 

colored, human friendly environment the 

architect attributes paramount importance to 

diversity. Each fragment of modern or traditional 

architectural décor present in Aleko 

Korkotashvili’s interiors acquires considerable 

meaning. Elegance is embodied in refined 

nuances. Overall design solution represents 

a combination of infinitely diverse décor 

motives, volumetric or plastic solutions and 

rhythms. Each fragment is saturated with the 

spirituality of innovation, modernity, and the 

special, comfortable atmosphere of the integral 

spaces motivates us to be happy and 

share our happiness with others.

Glossy Black Ceramics 

with Decorative Flavor 

Modern Georgian ceramics takes its roots in ancient traditions, preservation, promotion 

and future development of which should be the goal of any local artist. 

In this article, we would like to tell you about the activities of Duruji Mineral Ltd. 

(general director Mr. Alexi Rozomashvili) and Georgian Artist Ltd., represented by its 

manager Ms. Manana Arabuli. 

Key driving principle of Duruji Mineral is preservation and restoration of traditional 

Georgian glossy black ceramics technique and development / promotion of modern 

artistic and construction ceramics. In cooperation with Georgian Artist Ltd., Duruji 

Mineral developed a project intended to support utilization of inert masses found in 

the bed of Duruji river, which will foster solving of environmental issues and importantly 

contribute to restoration of traditional glossy black ceramics technique. As a 

result of laboratory studies this product was found to have unique features, enabling 

production of construction materials (brick, tiles, blocks) as well as decorative articles, 

accessories and ceramic tiles. This very material was used for finishing works 

in a single-family house located in Saguramo village (project designed by architect 

Nika Gogava). 

116 

stili #32. 2009 

Manana Arabuli graduated from the ceramics department of design faculty of 

Tbilisi State Academy of Art; she is regular participant of international exhibitions and 

competitions and author of original works, stored at the Museum of Georgian Artists’ 

Union, Modern Art Center and private collections in Georgia, Brazil, Austria, Argentina, 

Italy, Spain, Germany, UK and Holland. 

Ceramics created by Manana Arabuli are original and beautiful. Synthesis of line, 

color and form helps her endow her designs with the delicate breath of spirituality, 

to share her innermost thoughts through art and make it live along with the unique 

coloring, shape and decoration, distinguishing traditional Georgian ceramics from its 

foreign counterparts. 

Let us wish Duruji Mineral and Manana arabuli success in achieving their highly 

important goals.

World Reflected in a Mirror 

You would probably find it hard to name a more indispensable 

and universal interior decoration element than 

a mirror. 

Indeed, it is impossible to imagine a house, apartment, 

office, state institution, school, hospital or a kindergarten 

without a mirror, which, alongside with its purely 

utilitarian function, plays an important role in defining the 

decorative image of the interior. 

People buy mirrors in order to be able to see themselves 

better or to enhance their living space with a stroke 

of originality and comfort – though in both cases their 

choice is motivated by a certain point of attraction, making 

a particular mirror more appealing than others. 

Mirrors created by artist Aka Goiashvili leave an indelible 

impression with their diversity and ability to transform 

the surrounding world. 

Aka Goiashvili started her creative activities in 1994. 

Until then, in 1985-1989 she studied at the department 

of creative decoration of I. Nikoladze Art School and in 

1989-1994 – continued her studies at the department of 

monumental-decorative art of Tbilisi State Academy of Art. 

Objects created by Aka are impressive and original. 

Reflective surfaces of mirrors present colors and themes 

in an unexpected manner. The themes themselves are 

unexpected, turning reflections into dark myths or imaginary 

shapes. Artist’s beautiful creative conceptions exceed 

aesthetic limits and enter a new plane of complexity and 

inner spirituality. 

Works of art based on such approach add originality 

to any space and serve as dominant points in creation 

of harmonious and integral interiors. 

Aka Goiashvili’s unique and refined mirror designs make 

the surrounding world still more diverse and colorful.

Illusory Game of Form and Color 

16-year-old Nini Chanturia is a student of Georgian- 

French Saint-Exupery College. She has been infatuated 

with art since childhood; at different times she engaged 

in wool art and silk painting and took part in different 

youth art exhibitions. It is already several years now that 

Nini switched her attention on porcelain ornaments and 

cloisonné enamel. She wishes to become an architect 

and gets ready to enter the architectural faculty of the 

Georgian Technical University. 

Refined beauty of Nini Chanturia’s art shows her highly flexible 

and polyphonic manner, diverse and dramatic creative palette. 

Every look at the objects, created by the young artist reveals 

new, unexpected details, engulfing the viewer into the poetic world 

expressed with youthful sincerity. Nini’s ideas, feelings and creative 

spirit merge in the incessant, stubborn search of beauty. 

The artist’s boundless fantasy turns each of her cloisonné enamels 

and colorful silk paintings original and unique. Flexibility, softness 

and fluidity make the rhythm of changeable forms everlasting. 

Ideas are realized in the illusory game of texture, color and 

form. Illusion is art, and art is what Nini does by trying to achieve 

perfection with her illusory games.

Cappadocia 

This year I finally gratified my old dream and visited the 

mystical land of Cappadocia. 

The impressions from this trip were so huge, so overwhelming, 

that it took me a considerable amount of time to analyze 

what I saw there. Surely there is no point in squeezing historically 

verified data about Cappadocia into a magazine article. On 

the other hand, photos and scanty information I personally obtained 

from various sources will give you a purely emotional description 

of the Land of Noble Steeds (this is how “Cappadocia” translates 

from ancient Hittite) or, if you prefer, the Land of Moon 

Landscapes. 

Meskheti always used to be a pillar of Christianity; this region 

has made an important contribution to our religion on the whole 

by giving birth to saints and holy fathers like St. George, St. Nino, 

Basil the Great, his brother Grigol the Great and many others; 

by maintaining traditions and offering hope of salvation and spiritual 

strength to the whole Georgia and other Christian countries. 

Shortly after Meskheti was integrated in the Georgian Tao- 

Klarjeti Kingdom, Grigol Khandzteli lived and worked here. 

Georgian Christianity flourished in this region; 14 dioceses established 

in Meskheti belonged to the congregation of the Patriarch 

of Georgia; many Meskh monks went to stay in Iveri and Petritsoni 

Monasteries at the Holy Mount of Athos. 

Reign of Christianity in Meskheti was ended by 16th-century 

Ottoman invasion. Turk invaders kept disrupting local culture 

and ecclesiastic life for three centuries (16th-18th CC). From 14 

Meskhetian dioceses only one survived by 1764, when its bishop 

Giorgi broke away from Georgian Church and joined the west- 

ern Christianity in order to avoid severe persecution. 

In 843 Cappadocia became the major center of sacral art. 

Its dry and infertile hills proved ideal refuge for early Christians 

persecuted by Arabs and other enemies for their religious beliefs. 

In soft volcanic rocks Christians carved more than 40 villages 

and towns. These rock settlements represented efficiently disguised, 

well organized, secure and independent residential complexes, 

capable of housing up to 30000 persons. Nowadays this 

area is no longer populated, though central Turkey still retains 

monuments of Cappadocia culture – churches and cave cities –

and all of these are accessible to tourists. 

Hundreds of cave churches are scattered in Goreme 

Canyon, the center of monastic life founded by St. Basil the Great 

in the 4th century A.D. Mural paintings of these churches, rediscovered 

in the 20th century, feature a surprising diversity of themes 

and styles. Apparently, the majority of these churches are dated 

back to 11th and 12th centuries. Overall, 105 temples were built 

(or, rather, cut in rock) in this area before the 15th century, but 

only 15 of them survived today. 

Georgian Cappadocia – this is how we can call the area 

where village Solomon-Kala, more commonly known as Solomonis, 

is located. Ispir – a province in Choroki Gorge – historically and 

geographically belonged to Georgia. 

Solomonis is guarded by quaint golden rocks, piercing the 

sky. The village and neighboring cave complex sit in a beautiful 

valley at 15 km’s distance from Bana Cathedral. 

Cave complex is rather hard to access, but when you ascend 

these hills you are rewarded with breathtaking vistas. 

The architectural complex is a smaller replica of Vardzia. 

The church and the cells are carved deep in the rock. Founders 

of the monastery, which was presumably built in the 15th century 

with the support of Kvarkvare the 2nd, Great Atabeg of 

Samtskhe, selected a truly perfect place for seclusion and spiritual 

comfort. 

Initially the church was all covered in mural paintings, but 

unfortunately the frescos got smoked by fire lit indoors, and the 

surviving sections of the painted walls were damaged by inscriptions. 

In spite of the soot, bright-colored patches still can be seen 

on the walls; if you look well, you can even read ancient Georgian 

writing on them. 

Architectural complexes like Solomonis cave monastery are 

very rare. Who knows how many Georgians labored here to create 

this surprising beauty? Time did not favor this place either, 

though the founders of the monastery still achieved their goal by 

creating a place that lasted through centuries. 

The part of Cappadocia best studied by scientists and 

researchers is the underground city of Derinkuyu. The settlement 

was distributed on multiple levels and included schools, canteens, 

churches, kitchens, apartments, wine cellars, water reservoirs, stalls, 

dungeons, storerooms, etc. Air ventilation shafts are still functioning, 

and tunnels and halls still have good lighting. In case of danger, 

local population used to block the exits with huge boulders. 

Floors between different levels of the city were pierced with small 

holes enabling level-to-level communication. Nowadays the tourists 

can access 8 levels of the complex, of which the lowest is located 

54 meters deep underground. However, the scientists believe 

that they have only researched about 15% of the city area and 

that it had several more underground levels, which still retain 

their mysteries for the future generations. 

Looking at this land, squeezed between tall mountains, you 

cannot help thinking that the world spread out in front of your 

eyes is totally different from your everyday life – the past stands 

out with special poignancy, the story of St. George resounds from 

the wall paintings, the hills narrate how St. Nino started to praise 

the Lord… 

And you suddenly lose contact with reality.

The painter 

speaking color 

There are painters who “speak color” and express their 

magic philosophy in color… 

Expression, the mystery of red, calm rhythm and a flash 

of a line – eternity! 

Color noise – walls painted bright, pale silhouettes showing 

through, beauty – wish to understand! 

…And the portraits? A world apart…

Silence Is Consent – Laboratory Chapter IX 

On May 20 2009 Georgian National Museum – 

Tbilisi History Museum presented exhibition project 

“Silence Is Consent – Laboratory Chapter IX” by artist 

Kote Jincharadze. 

Organizer: Georgian National Museum – Tbilisi 

History Museum 

Supervisor: Nino Zaalishvili 

Project “Silence Is Consent – Laboratory Chapter 

IX” started in 1996 as a series of actions-performances 

aiming at establishing two-way communication 

between humans and fishes. During these 13 years 

author of the project – Kote Jincharadze – had been 

organizing such actions at the banks and shores of 

rivers, lakes and seas in different countries all over the 

world. Human-to-fish contact was first established in 

St. Petersburg, when an interactive being – Kote 

Jincharadze – arranged action titled “Silence is Consent” 

in cooperation with inter-passive beings – fish inhabiting 

Fontanka River. 

The principle of communication applied by the artist 

is as follows: from a pre-selected point on the shore 

texts of documents, specially prepared for fishes, are 

lowered into water (the documents are enclosed in hermetically 

closed glass cases with attached micro-

phones, recording the fish’s answers). 

According to the theory of probability, 

the fish read documents underwater 

and their reaction is recorded 

on magnetic tapes; later on these 

tapes are analyzed and discussed 

by the dominant party. 

In the 13th year of project implementation 

this activity evolved to a 

new stage – Kote Jincharadze established 

an international scientificresearch 

laboratory where the materials 

collected during the previous 

years’ actions are researched. 

Research activities in the lab are 

maintained by chief scientific officer 

of the institute, honorable member 

of Chicago Royal Academy, master 

of relationships with underworld 

inhabitants Ms. N. Z. Dvali. 

The exhibition presented in 

Karvasla reflected the progress and 

results of this important research. 

Exhibition viewers could see 

samples of various modern art techniques, 

such as installation, photography, 

video art, collage, mixed 

media and painting.

PHOTO BY ALEQSANDRE MEFARISHVILI

Paris in 

Vernissage 

& TBILISI 

Annette Revyakina was born in 

Moscow. Having completed her public 

school and art college studies in the capital 

of Russia, Annette moved to Vilnius, 

Lithuania, where she studied at the architectural 

faculty of Lithuanian Art Academy 

in 1989-1995. Since 1992 Annette maintains 

architectural practice, creating 

unordinary and memorable, highly professional 

and tasteful designs. In the previous 

issues of our magazine we told 

you about several projects designed by 

Annette Revyakina: hotel Europa-Royal 

in Druskininkai, interiors of Lithuanian 

State Arms Foundation shops in Vilnius 

and Klaipeda, interior of an apartment 

in Vilnius. Hope we will have more opportunities 

to make you familiar with the 

foreign architect’s works. 

This time we would like to show 

you glimpses of the world as seen by 

Annette through a camera lens. This 

world is heterogeneous, but frank and 

open in expressing the photographer’s 

feelings and viewpoints. 

In the end of May 2009, Vernissage 

Gallery (managed by art critic Zaira 

Berelidze) launched a personal exhibition 

of Annette Revyakina’s photos. 

The exposition consisted of Paris landscapes 

– views of Notre Dame de Paris 

and vistas opening from this temple. 

The photos hung on the walls narrated 

a wide variety of different stories, 

all of which revealed considerable analytical 

skills and lyricism of the author. 

Due to her deep perception of reality, 

Annette has a very sound understanding 

of spiritual dialectics of the universe. 

Her creative style is reserved but poetic; 

each of her works radiates some special 

charm, reflecting the author’s taste 

and creative thinking and evoking totally 

different feelings. Aesthetic integrity, 

melody and rhythm of purposefully positioned 

photos, gives birth to unique aesthetics, 

opening the gates of eternity 

before the ephemeral. The same can 

be said about the photos of Tbilisi, taken 

by Annette Revyakina – each of them 

shows how beautiful the city in which 

we live is.

32nd Assembly- 

Seminar of Architect 

Skiers SKIA-2009 

On February 24-28 2009 Bakuriani hosted 32nd Assembly- 

Seminar of Architect Skiers. The assembly targeted current architectural 

and urban development problems caused by world economic 

crisis and attempted to involve the public, including governmental 

officials and intelligentzia into discussion of such issues 

and promote the social role of architects in their solving. 

The seminar was dedicated to the memory of Alik Japaridze, 

the first president of the Georgian Club of Architect Skiers: it was 

largely due to this cheerful, ingenious and creative personality 

that SKIA Club got established in 1977. 

The traditional assembly of architects was followed by an 

alpine skiing competition in giant slalom for different age groups, 

which gathered 49 participants. 

As always, the assembly of skier architects went on in an 

uninhibited atmosphere of sports and creativity, good will and mutual 

respect.

Art is more than infatuation 

Very recently Hobby Gallery launched personal exhibition of Guliko Tsulukidze’s paintings. 

Though Guliko is actually an architect, her paintings enjoyed equal admiration on the part of 

her colleague architects and artists, who visited the exhibition. 

Paintings and drawings, created by Guliko Tsulukidze, tell a story of rich inner world and 

spiritual strength, of harmony with the surrounding world and individual principles helping to 

analyze and understand it, of original technique and changeable but clear compositional structure. 

Key features of Guliko Tsulukidze’s art are dynamics, rhythm, original architectonical logics 

and unusual application of color. Art is more than infatuation for an architect – art serves 

as a guide in the labyrinth of creative quest and we can only wish Guliko Tsulukidze success 

in passing this labyrinth.
