The search for a new image is the main task of architectural creativity. This quality of search is inherent in all the creative activities of A. Zusik, who successfully combines practical and scientific-pedagogical work. Working under the challenging conditions of real design for seismic areas, the architect finds extraordinary and even romantic images. A. Zusik's works are characterized by individuality, freshness of approach, and originality.
A. Zusik is an active participant in many republican, nationwide, and international competitions and reviews, where he has repeatedly been awarded prizes. One of his notable competition works was a project on the theme: "Housing of Tomorrow," conducted by the International Union of Architects in connection with the International Year of Youth, celebrated under the auspices of the UN in 1985 and in preparation for the World Exhibition ("Tsukuba-85" and UNESCO). As a result of the competition, the team of Kyrgyz architects (A. Zusik, S. Ryspekov, A. Zagrudny, and T. Ryspekova) was awarded the KENESKO prize. In all architectural competitions, A. I. Zusik was the head of the author team.
