Ticovschi Spatial Design

About

Pompilia Ticovschi is a spatial designer. A native of Romania, Pompilia studied Spatial Design at the University of the Arts London, at London College of Communication. She is interested in spaces everywhere. She explores public spaces, secret spaces, client spaces, any spaces she can uncover. Her mission is to create spaces more humane, more divine, more romantic, more vibrant and more alive. For her, design is about being creative in small spaces, about discovering worlds of potential in the tiniest of spaces. She likes to choose materials freely, using old or new materials. She incorporates in her designs the senses, sight, sound, taste, touch and smell, but also the senses of atmosphere like thrill, comfort, fear, awe, and wonder. She wants to think beyond mere functionality, to enhance form, quality, and beauty of spaces, while never forgetting the practical purpose and functionality that the client’s brief and the space deserve.

Blue Pavilion

The Blue Pavilion Project is a nature inspired cafe and relaxation temporary space, set at the Southbank Centre London on the riverside bank. The welcoming spaces feature materials such as polycarbonate panels, aluminum panels, cork blocks, plywood, photovoltaic cells and dichroic film and colours such as magenta, blue and green. The space is divided into a cafe area, a relaxation area, and a contemplation area. The spaces created are set up for people to disconnect and relax, enjoying a drink, reading a book. It is a shelter from sun and rain, and an oasis for relaxation.

Multilink

The Multilink Project aims to provide a design for the upcoming events in the area situated at the groundfloor of the future London College of Communication building. Inspired by the University of the Arts London brand patterns and using hues from the UAL primary and secondary colour palette, the design objective is to translate the identity of college to the public. The design proposes a flexible open space that can accomodate multiple events such as talks, confrences, theatre, exhibitions and aspire to create community and a sense of belonging.

Let's Play Upon Thames

Located at Terrace Gardens in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, in an abandoned five bay arcade on top of a platform, Let's Play Upon Thames Project is conceived of as a play, resting and storage public space.The temporary space enables children and adults to explore and challenge themselves through play. The space offers adventure and sensory experiences inspired by the four seasons. The spring room creates serenity with soft play and sensory areas while the autumn room offers resting haptic surfaces painted in thermochromic red. The winter room hosts the lockers and the Pavegen V3 tiles that connect the spaces up to the summer room. This last space gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy the bouldering walls. The power of visitors and users footsteps is harnessed to generate electricity that powers external LED lighting using Pavegen V3 tiles technology. Entertaining, inspiring and stimulating, the design gives visitors and users a joyful and optimistic feeling through a tactile space full of surprises and beauty.
