Yang Yang
I hold a Master of Science in Design in Advanced Architectural Design from the University of Pennsylvania. I am pursuing a PhD focused on carbon—and energy-reducing design, which has significantly shaped my artistic approach.My design focuses on how buildings can integrate seamlessly with their environment to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency. Morphology, geometry, and performance-based design are central to my work. I am particularly inspired by how a building's energy performance shapes its form and how the natural environment interacts with and negotiates the structure's shape. This dynamic relationship between architecture and its surroundings guides my approach as I strive to create designs that are both efficient and in harmony with nature. My design work has been featured in international magazines and books, and I have been invited to numerous conferences and exhibitions to share my ideas and present my work.

Andriy Golub

Golub Architects Company and me, as the chief architect, have several focuses: firstly, it is a residential and commercial architecture (individual houses, apartment buildings, offices, cafes, restaurants, etc.); secondly, it is urban design; the third is the design of parks and recreational areas, landscape design. Also, now our company has a number of orders in a new field for us - these are memorial complexes (memorials are devoted to the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine).
