Students of the College of Architecture, Design and Reengineering No. 26 (26 KADR), together with experienced mentors, carried out work on the restoration of chapels and cathedrals in the Tver and Arkhangelsk regions. The accumulated experience and collected materials are used by future restorers, artists, architects and designers for diploma theses, scientific publications, creative projects and exhibitions. This was reported by the press service of the capital Department of Education and Science.
"For 20 years now, students from the capital's college have been going on expeditions to different regions of our country, where they study wooden architecture in practice and help preserve unique churches and chapels. The students communicate with local residents and study history, culture, everyday life, and traditions. Such experience not only forms professional skills in young specialists, but also helps them understand the value of cultural heritage and our role in preserving it. In total, over 500 students and teachers of professional disciplines took part in the expeditions," the department's press service said.
37 expedition members restored the wooden chapel of Pyotr Zhukov and Prokhor Mikhailov in the village of Nikulino in the Tver region. In the village of Kozlovo, they continued work in the church of St. Alexius of Siberia: they painted the dome ceiling and restored the iconostasis. In the village of Karelsky Gorodok, they dismantled the canvases, set up a drainage system, and installed drainage in the chapel of the holy martyr Vlasiy.
College student Anna Ronzhina painted the dome of the Church of St. Alexius of Siberia in the village of Kozlovo. This was her first experience of this kind: she mastered the basics of icon painting, met other expedition members, and felt the peculiarities of life in the field. In addition, she realized her involvement in preserving the country's cultural heritage. In the future, the girl plans to return to these places.
Another group of 16 people went to the Arkhangelsk region, where they joined volunteer work at the 17th-century St. Nicholas Church. The students interacted with local residents and studied the history of the village and its traditions.
Student Maria Eriskina said that during the expedition they helped craftsmen dismantle an old temple, which is planned to be restored later. She also noted that for her, as a future specialist in landscape gardening, it was especially valuable to learn about plants and the traditions of their use. According to her, the college teachers explained how to communicate with local residents and ask questions. Maria emphasized that even a small contribution from students is important, because it helps preserve history and culture, which are important to tell others about.
In addition to practical work, the guys collected materials for diplomas and future projects, including the creation of an audio guide to the village of Volosovo, research articles and a design project for an eco-trail to the Horse Stone shrine. Future designers and restorers made sketches and photographs for exhibitions, and also prepared a layout of a magazine with the results of their research.
"The expedition itself is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind it lies a long process of preparation and subsequent processing of the collected knowledge and materials. Throughout the year, students defend their ideas for future research and projects, learn to live in field conditions, and study the history of the region. Thanks to this, by the time they leave, everyone knows their task: someone studies wooden buildings, someone interviews local residents, and someone studies the natural environment. Once on site, the guys learn to work in a team, adopt the experience of masters and see how their actions change the space around them. And upon returning, the collected materials become part of diploma theses, scientific publications, and the basis for various projects, research, and exhibitions," said Yulia Sokolina, Director of the College of Architecture, Design, and Reengineering No. 26.
The summer expeditions were a continuation of the college's long-standing work to preserve cultural heritage. In recent years, young specialists have restored monuments in various regions of Russia, from the Far East to North Ossetia, and last year they completed the restoration of an abandoned 19th-century wooden chapel in the Tver Region, where services are now held again.
