The principle of mobility of each individual piece was the basis for this technological innovation. Each sculpture created without physical fasteners is easily assembled and disassembled. This new experience brought new satisfaction. One of the statuettes done using the \"live sculpture\" technique, the Golden Madonnina, was used as the official award during Milan Design Week in 2017, a kind of Oscar for designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVasily Klyukin was born in Moscow in 1979.

In 2013, he published \u003cem\u003eDesigning Legends\u003c\/em\u003e, an album of architectural concepts that contained fifty of his visions for future buildings such as towers, office buildings, museums, and opera houses. Klyukin is recognized by many for his pronounced individuality and the unique shapes of his buildings. He strives to make each building internationally recognizable and mark it as the symbol of the city, or even the country that hosts it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, he published a sci-fi novel, \u003cem\u003eCollective Mind\u003c\/em\u003e.
