From January 19th to 31st, an exhibition of new printed acquisitions is open in the reading room of the scientific and technical library of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (room 217), featuring unique scientific, artistic, and educational publications.
The exhibition opens with the first issue of the "Azure Book" series. These publications will explore Gazprom Group projects in the Northern Capital. The first volume, titled "St. Petersburg: From History to Modernity," is an interdisciplinary study of the transformation of urban space from the time of Peter the Great to the present day. Readers will be able to see rare archival illustrations, including an entry in Peter the Great's travel journal about the founding of the city on May 16, 1703. Leading historians and art historians, heads of cultural institutions in the city on the Neva, and prominent St. Petersburg residents contributed to the publication.
The album "Black and White Realities" by renowned photographer Sergei Kompaniychenko deserves special attention. It spans over fifty years of the artist's career (1970–2023) and features portraits of politicians and cultural figures, cityscapes, and unique architectural objects.
No less significant is the publication "Anthology: Historical Towns and Villages of Russia," which includes information on all known historical settlements founded before 1914 and that significantly influenced the development of our country. The book is of interest not only to students of history but also to construction professionals: the best architectural and urban planning solutions of the past can be applied in modern practice.
The exhibition also features new textbooks and teaching aids from SPbGASU instructors on multi-story building construction technologies, the design of industrial-type residential buildings from prefabricated structures, the fundamentals of urbanism, engineering graphics, and construction organization and economics.
The SPbGASU Scientific and Technical Library invites all students, faculty, and university guests to explore new publications and discover fascinating chapters in history, culture, and science.
