At the awards ceremony
On February 24, the Project-Based Learning Educational Center of the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held the defense of the competition projects "Facade Solutions for Small Capital Construction Projects."
The competition was initiated by the Etalon Group of Companies. Third- and fourth-year undergraduate students and first-year master's students from the faculties of construction and architecture participated.
The goal of the competition is to identify and reward talented students and promote innovative additive manufacturing technologies using 3D printing for the production of façade panels.
The competition jury included teachers from SPbGASU and representatives of the Etalon group.
The winners and prize winners were representatives of the Faculty of Architecture:
First place – Fyodor Surov (first-year master's student in Architectural Design); second place – Yana Safonova (fourth-year student in Urban Planning); third place – Arina Kurkova and Valeria Fedorova (fourth-year students in Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Heritage).
All competition participants received welcome merchandise, and the winners received prizes announced by Etalon. Most importantly, the winning façade panels will be reproduced in production!
The competition also included a field trip to the new prefabricated structures production facility in the Gorelovo Industrial Park, opened by the Etalon Group last August. Students were able to see a Russian-made 3D printer in action, including the printing process and finished products such as facade panels and hardscape elements.
"We are pleased to note the impressive results of the competition and are delighted by the growing interest among students in additive manufacturing, the development of which we place special emphasis. We are convinced that it is crucial for the next generation of specialists to become more familiar with advanced construction technologies. Therefore, we were delighted to welcome the contestants to our technology park. Here, cutting-edge technologies are used to create innovative products that meet market needs," said Hasan Makeev, Deputy General Director of Etalontechnopark – LO.
Etalon Group is a major developer actively developing concrete 3D printing, which is relevant in the construction industry. SPbGASU expresses its gratitude to the company for its partnership and the opportunity to gain a closer understanding of additive construction.
