Fyodor Perov, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design at SPbGASU and PhD in Architecture, has received a diploma from the Union of Moscow Architects and a diploma from the Interregional Public Organization for the Promotion of Architectural Education (MOOSAO) following a competition for scientific and educational literature in the field of architecture, design, and art.
The publication was released by the university in a limited edition and immediately generated great interest among the professional community. According to experts, it is one of the most comprehensive and systematic works devoted to urban planning, architecture, and engineering solutions in the Arctic.
One of the monograph's authors, Fyodor Perov, an associate professor in the Department of Architectural Design at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU) and a PhD in architecture, notes that the awards received are a well-deserved recognition of many years of scientific work and the importance of northern topics for the university.
"Diplomas are nice, but the most important thing about the book is the knowledge preserved. We've collected a vast body of research that could have been lost. This is the legacy of several generations of architects, engineers, geotechnicians, students, and faculty at SPbGASU," Fyodor Viktorovich emphasized.
The monograph was co-authored by Professor Rashid Mangushev, Professor Alexander Chernykh, Associate Professor Nikolai Rukobratsky, Associate Professor Viktor Pukhkal, Head of Department Anton Gaido, Professor Alexander Pushkarev, Associate Professor Alexandra Eremeeva, and other university specialists.
The monograph's uniqueness lies in its combination of Soviet research materials accumulated decades ago with the results of modern field expeditions and design work by SPbGASU. The book reflects the continuity of knowledge and experience across generations of architects, engineers, and researchers, creating a comprehensive understanding of the exploration and development of northern territories.
The publication brings together: • materials from Soviet scientific schools on northern construction and urban planning; • personal experience of researchers from LenzNIIEP and scientists from SPbGASU; • results of student and teacher expeditions to Salekhard, Vorkuta, Naryan-Mar, Arkhangelsk region, etc.; • modern projects of bachelor's and master's students; • analytical materials on the problems of northern cities, housing renovation, climate design and infrastructure development.
Key developments include a concept for the controlled "smart compression" of Vorkuta, next-generation residential projects, research into northern identity, and models for comfortable urban environments in extreme climates.
"This isn't just a book—it's a distillation of experience. The solutions collected here are already being applied and can serve as the basis for modern projects in the Arctic," notes Fyodor Perov.
The monograph was published by SPbGASU in high-quality printing. The print run is limited and not available for sale. Copies have been distributed to specialists, organizations, and universities involved in Arctic development. Interest in the publication has been so high that, according to the authors, there is already a waiting list for copies for research and project work.
The awards only highlight the significance of the university's long-standing work. Research continues: SPbGASU teams are currently conducting major projects to develop the Arkhangelsk North, restore Pomor settlements, preserve cultural heritage, and improve the urban environment and engineering infrastructure of the northern territories.
