Projects in the exhibition hall of the Faculty of Architecture
On 27 May, SPbGASU opened an exhibition of projects submitted to the competition “Concepts for the Spatial Development of Municipalities of the Leningrad Region 2025” in four of five nominations.
The competition is held by the Committee for Urban Development Policy of the Leningrad Region. The exhibition is organized at two sites of our university. The lower balustrade presents the concepts of the Wedding Palace in Vsevolozhsk and the museum storage facility in Staraya Ladoga. In the exhibition hall of the Faculty of Architecture, you can see the concepts of the House of Culture in the city of Telmana and the Regional Sports Training Center in the village of Roshchino.
Both experienced and novice authors compete in the anonymous competition. The winners in each nomination will receive a cash prize of 516 thousand rubles each.
"I am very glad that the Leningrad Region is exhibiting projects of such a significant competition with us. Moreover, this competition is not only for students, but also for professional architects. If a student wins, how will he implement his project at a serious level? In this case, we, teachers, experienced architects, will definitely help. In all cases, this is a very interesting experience, a very beautiful exhibition," said Ekaterina Vozniak, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, at the opening.
"For me, this is the first experience of preparing a joint exhibition at SPbGASU, my alma mater, my home university. Last week, the construction block of the Leningrad Region Government held a meeting with the university management. We agreed on joint and long-term work. The site of the architectural university can be actively used, especially since the Committee for Urban Development Policy and the Committee for Construction of the Leningrad Region separately actively interact with the faculties of SPbGASU," said First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Urban Development Policy of the Leningrad Region - Chief Architect of the Leningrad Region, Associate Professor at the SPbGASU Department of Urban Planning Sergey Lutchenko.
Sergey Ivanovich reported that the committee strives to attract young people to its competitions, and the fruits of this approach are already there: three universities reached the finals of the competition to create a concept for the modernization of the memorial and landscape complex "Road of Life" - Moscow Architectural Institute, SPbGASU and St Petersburg Mining University. On Children's Day, 1 June, a new recreation space opens in Tosno - a summer wooden parklet. The authors of the architectural concept are SPbGASU students who won the competition to create an architectural concept for a parklet for squares in cities of the Leningrad Region.
The fact that the exhibition is being held in one of the most prestigious universities among those that train architects will contribute to the popularization of the competition, says Deputy Chairman of the Leningrad Region Construction Committee Evgeny Enokaev. Evgeny Kemilevich emphasized that the committee is a regional government customer and plans to implement all winning projects. Perhaps there will be interested parties who will implement other projects in other cities.
The meeting of the competition committee (with defenses) in the nominations "Concept of the Wedding Palace in Vsevolozhsk", "Concept of the House of Culture in Telmana", "Concept of the Regional Sports Training Center in Roshchino" and "Concept of the Storage Facility in Staraya Ladoga" will be held on 3 June, 2025 in the St Petersburg House of the Architect at the address: St Petersburg, Bolshaya Morskaya St., Bldg. 52.
