From now on, Russian architects have their own professional holiday, which will be celebrated on 7 July.

The decree on including the holiday in the calendar of Russian significant dates was signed by the head of government Mikhail Mishustin last March.

Previously, Russia celebrated only World Architecture Day, established by the International Union of Architects in 1985 and celebrated on the first Monday of October. Now we have our own holiday, which will become another reason to celebrate the achievements and successes of Russian architects.

We congratulate all current and future architects on this holiday! We wish you more inspiration, creative power and persistence to implement your projects!
