Years in design. Identities, websites, visual systems. A reasonably respectable sequence of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-turn wp-block-paragraph\">On paper, it looks like a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-turn wp-block-paragraph\">The director\u2019s cut is less tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most projects don\u2019t arrive as clear problems with a neat little brief attached. They arrive with something slightly off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A company that looks like its competitors. A website that says all the right things and somehow says nothing. A good idea trapped in a form that clearly wasn\u2019t built for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These things happen. Sometimes for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the part I\u2019m interested in: figuring out what a project actually needs to become unmistakably itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not just better dressed. Although, occasionally, that helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-mini wp-block-paragraph\">Right. Where was I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-beat wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, yes. Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I work with identities, websites, and visual systems. The visible part is the result. The more interesting part is figuring out what needs to happen before the result becomes obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tend to think in scenes. A change of perspective can do more than another layer of polish. And sometimes the most useful thing you can do for an idea is stop trying to make it behave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-beat wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest is easier to show than to explain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity bdb-divider\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bdb-section bdb-what is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"what-i-actually-do\" class=\"wp-block-heading bdb-title bdb-heading-secondary\">What I actually do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bdb-prose is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sometimes look at a project and wonder how it ended up looking the way it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because someone made a terrible mistake. Quite the opposite. Usually, a lot of reasonable decisions have been made along the way. Each one made sense at the time. Then one day you put everything together and discover that the result has very little to do with the thing you were trying to make in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-beat wp-block-paragraph\">The original brief rarely includes a checkbox for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find these situations more interesting than the ones where the answer seems obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is usually a moment when the conversation changes. We stop talking about the logo, the homepage, or whether something should be bigger or smaller. We start looking at the project itself, at what it has become and what it might have been trying to say all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the change is quite radical. Sometimes it turns out that most of the work is already there, just buried under a few decisions that nobody has thought to question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like that moment when things begin to fall into place, although they don\u2019t always fall into place in the way anyone expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I have a certain suspicion of solutions that arrive too quickly. Especially the beautiful ones. They can be very convincing, right up until you ask them to do something.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"work\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull bdb-project-slot has-base-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-1 has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b62d75b5 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;background-color:#700700;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-aa73e2c3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:25%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-accent-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.5vh;font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><strong>SELECTED<\/strong><br><strong>WORK \/ 03<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right has-accent-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\" id=\"ervandashat\" style=\"font-size:4vh;font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Ervandashat<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:3vh\"><strong>Conceptual Vision for a Future Territory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.9vh\">Commissioned as an early vision for a large-scale development in Armenia, Ervandashat imagines a year-round territory combining living, agriculture, tourism, culture, entertainment and adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.9vh\">BDB developed the programmes, architectural concepts and visual atmosphere for a family of unusual, transformable structures integrated with the landscape.

id=\"a-question-of-order\" class=\"wp-block-heading bdb-title bdb-heading-secondary\">A question of order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bdb-prose is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve seen perfectly good ideas disappear inside perfectly good design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing was particularly wrong. The typography was beautiful, the colors worked, everyone had approved the layout. All the ingredients were there, including a few that nobody remembered ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet, somehow, the important thing had gone missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s remarkable how much effort can go into making something look right before anyone asks whether it\u2019s saying the right thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suppose that\u2019s why I\u2019ve always been more interested in the relationships between things than in the things themselves. What deserves attention, what should remain in the background, and what happens when you give a minor detail the leading role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, this way of working acquired a more deliberate structure. I call it the <strong>Form &amp; Structure Method<\/strong>, or FSM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It begins with <strong>Structure<\/strong> \u2014 understanding what we\u2019re dealing with, how the pieces relate to one another, and which of them actually matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then comes <strong>Form<\/strong>, where those relationships become something we can see and experience. This is where design gets interesting, and occasionally rather difficult, because a beautiful composition can be remarkably persuasive even when it\u2019s telling the wrong story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there\u2019s <strong>Alignment<\/strong>. The part where we return to our original intentions and find out whether the result has remained faithful to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it has. Sometimes the design has developed ideas of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t necessarily object to that. But I\u2019d rather know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-formula wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Structure \u2192 Form \u2192 Alignment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three steps. They look reassuringly simple written down like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bdb-beat wp-block-paragraph\">Which is nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The projects themselves are rarely so considerate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-f905c2f\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-f905c2f\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-46c9709\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-46c9709\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:7%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-accent-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.5vh\"><strong>SELECTED<\/strong><br><strong>WORK \/ 03<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"greeninvestbrand-identity-creative-direction\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:8vh;font-style:normal;font-weight:300\"><strong>GreenInvest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"greeninvestbrand-identity-creative-direction\"><strong>Brand Identity \/ Creative Direction<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-922b0e16 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:6%;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:32%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-d761670\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-d761670\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bdb.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GI_lolgo_full-300x254.png\" data-src=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"18%\" height=\"1015\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:2vh\"><br>From agricultural perception<br>to a managed investment system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-accent-1-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9615cdb1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-2);margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-left-style:dashed;border-left-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h3 id=\"perception-shift\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:2.8vh;font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Perception shift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.8vh\"><strong>From nature and agriculture to the architecture of a managed asset.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-left-style:dashed;border-left-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h3 id=\"context\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:2.8vh;font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Context<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:1.8vh\">GreenInvest works with agricultural land, but the project is not a farm brand.

Others are starting something new and would rather not spend the next five years explaining what it is. Occasionally, someone arrives with a website that has been redesigned twice and is now, rather impressively, worse than the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also projects that don\u2019t fit comfortably into any of the usual categories. An exhibition, a temporary environment, a public experience, or an idea that needs to exist somewhere beyond a presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rather like those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of the assignment rarely tells you much about the amount of thinking involved.
