On the eve of the New Year, students from the Faculty of Architecture of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering took part in the IX International Competition "Create an Exhibit for the Hermitage."
The competition continues the long-standing tradition of creating handmade New Year's and Christmas decorations. This year, the competition was held under the motto "Beauty in Detail" and was dedicated to the anniversaries of three St. Petersburg architects: Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli, Domenico Trezzini, and Carlo Ivanovich Rossi.
35 of our students designed and created amazing "architectural" Christmas tree decorations using a variety of techniques!
Anastasia Kolechkova, a third-year student in the Department of Architectural Environment Design (DAS), made it to the finals and shortlisted for the competition. In her work "Azure Lace," crafted using beadwork, Anastasia depicted the bell tower of Smolny Cathedral by F.B. Rastrelli. "The famous combination of sky-blue and snow-white is a fresh, pure, yet luxurious contrast that can be used in design, which is exactly what I did in this Christmas tree ornament," the artist explained.
At the awards ceremony held on December 22 at the General Staff Building, Anastasia was presented with a diploma and a commemorative gift for second place among students from architecture and art universities in the Odnoklassniki social network nomination.
Second-year students from the Faculty of Architecture created their toys under the guidance of Svetlana Feofanova, senior lecturer in the Department of Architectural Environmental Design, as part of an assignment in the "Volumetric and Spatial Composition" course. The resulting works were very atmospheric, and all of them decorated the State Hermitage Museum's Christmas trees.
