Third-year students from the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute, pursuing their studies in Information Design and Graphic Design, won first, second, and third place in the All-Russian ArtVision competition, held in Nizhny Novgorod. The competition showcased the best student design, research, and creative work, which was presented to a broad professional audience, including experts in the fields of art and design.
ArtVision aims to stimulate innovative activity and support promising scientific, educational, and creative projects that contribute to the development of education, science, and culture.
The laureates of the competition were Ekaterina Pavlova, Ilana Smirnova, Ekaterina Toshcheva, Anna Vinogradskaya, Varvara Fedoseeva, Maria Vodoleeva, Elizaveta Gromova, Elina Davletshina and Ksenia Zabolotnaya. The work was carried out under the guidance of Maria Illarionova, senior lecturer at the Higher School of Art and Culture of the ISI.
At the competition, students developed corporate identity designs for cultural heritage sites—the Lvova Dacha and the Kannegiser Dacha. Both buildings are significant examples of wooden architecture, reflecting the artistic and historical characteristics of their era and contributing to the city's cultural heritage.
The projects included the comprehensive development of a visual identity: analyzing the historical context and architectural features of buildings, developing an identity concept, creating logos, color schemes, and graphic designs, as well as examples of their application in wayfinding, printing, and the digital environment. Students placed particular emphasis on finding a balance between preserving historical heritage and a contemporary visual language relevant for promoting cultural sites to a wider audience.
The victory of the students from the Higher School of Design and Architecture confirms the high level of their professional training and ability to tackle challenges that require an analytical approach, cultural responsibility, and contemporary design thinking, noted Maria Illarionova.
