At the award ceremony. With diplomas (from left to right) – SPbGASU students Alina Ziben, Bogdan Lobanov and Aurika Andreeva. In the center – Ilya Mochalov

Fourth-year student of the Faculty of Architecture, future landscape architect Bogdan Lobanov began his next academic year with a significant professional success: he became the winner of the All-Russian competition for the scholarship of Ilya Mochalov, the founder of the architectural and landscape company "Ilya Mochalov and Partners". This company, together with the company TM "ALTRAIN" and the Moscow Association of Landscape Architects (ROO MOLA), established scholarships for final-year bachelor's students. Scholarships are awarded based on the results of the competition for projects in the field of landscape architecture that reflect concern for nature, emphasize its natural beauty and are distinguished by an innovative creative approach.

"I submitted a project for the development of the territory in the cities of Murino and Bugry in the Leningrad Region to the competition. This is a significant, large area with a number of pressing issues. Working with real problems is always more interesting and useful. After studying many applied disciplines in the third year, solving design problems has become much easier. In addition, I am working on this topic as part of my final qualifying work," Bogdan said.

Ilya Mochalov noted that he was pleasantly surprised by the works of young architects, especially Bogdan's landscape study. "Bogdan Lobanov turned an abandoned field of 175 hectares into a huge park – a kind of green dystopia, reimagined as a future garden city. His other concept – a post-industrial park on the ruins of factories, where flowering herbs coexist with massive metal structures – is reminiscent of the best examples of the transformation of industrial areas in Germany. It is important that Bogdan thinks big: in his motivation letter, he said that in ten years he sees himself as a person who will influence the quality of the urban environment at the legislative level. This energy and desire to change people's lives for the better make his work especially valuable and inspiring," he believes.

Bogdan is gradually moving towards his large-scale goals and admits that his main task now is to finish this semester and prepare a “powerful diploma” by the summer. Then he plans to enroll in a master's program, most likely choosing “something at the intersection of landscape and urban planning.” The student is confident that everything will work out, since the Department of Landscape Architecture of SPbGASU is taught by both practicing architects and biologists, dendrologists, and specialists in urban landscaping. That is why the department trains specialists who will be well versed in natural and environmental processes and take them into account when designing an urban environment. Bogdan's words are confirmed by practice: students Alina Ziben and Aurika Andreeva became finalists in the competition and received the opportunity to do an internship at the company “Ilya Mochalov and Partners”.

"Last year, our students also won this competition, and this gave me confidence in my own abilities. The jury of the competition emphasized that our department of landscape architecture is the strongest in the country. This is very nice to hear, and I agree with this," noted Bogdan Lobanov.

The head of the educational program in landscape architecture, Nadezhda Kerimova, noted that a large volume of biological disciplines, such as botany, soil science, dendrology, and, at the same time, a practice-oriented approach allow us to train unique specialists who combine knowledge and skills in both architectural design and plant and environmental design.

"Thanks to our highly qualified teachers-architects, students gain experience in designing real urban objects and territories, thanks to knowledge of biological disciplines they understand how to organically "return nature to the city". I can confidently say that our university has formed a unique program for training specialists in the direction of 35.03.10 Landscape architecture, where in four years they train landscape architects who in the future will be able to make a great contribution not only to the aesthetics and comfort of the environment, but also to the health of our cities," noted Nadezhda Aliyevna.

Alexander Rudenko

Some buildings and structures in our country are in a limited-operability and even emergency condition after an explosive impact, as well as due to their high physical wear. Professor of the Department of Construction Organization of SPbGASU Alexander Rudenko proposed a new comprehensive approach to their restoration, ensuring high efficiency, safety, information content, remote assessment of the results of work at all stages of production. We talk to him about the essence and novelty of the approach.

– What exactly do you research in your scientific work?

– The topic of my research is “Organization of repair and restoration works of buildings after explosive impact based on an integrated approach using laser scanning, neural network and 4D modeling”. It is carried out within the framework of the grant of SPbGASU 20-NPR-25. The work contains an analytical review of the fundamental theoretical provisions of the physical processes of explosive impact on barriers. The existing approaches to predicting the degree of damage to buildings with the clarification of the mathematical calculation model are studied. The factors influencing the duration and quality of work on the restoration and repair of construction projects, as well as the possible nature of damage and categories of the technical condition of buildings after explosive impact are studied. An organizational and technological mechanism for the restoration and repair of construction projects is proposed.

The relevance and scientific and practical significance of the study are determined by the fact that a significant number of buildings in the Bryansk, Belgorod, Kursk, Rostov, Volgograd, Saratov regions and in new regions of Russia have been damaged by external explosive impact. In addition, capital construction projects on the balance sheet have a high degree of physical depreciation. Thus, according to Rosstat data for 2023, the depreciation of at least 257.4 million square meters of administrative, industrial and residential buildings exceeded 66 percent.

The organization of restoration and repair of buildings in these conditions requires a different – comprehensive approach that ensures high efficiency, information content, safety, remote access to the assessment of results at all stages of work and multi-channel access to results. This can be implemented on the basis of the stages of both the "planning-control" complex and a set of tools – laser scanning, neural network and 3D modeling, which to date has not been sufficiently studied and developed.

The research work identifies, groups and ranks the most significant factors affecting the duration and quality of restoration and repair. A regression analysis was performed and a mathematical model of the impact of factors on the efficiency of construction and installation works (C&I) was developed. Using neural network modeling tools, an algorithm for planning the production of C&I using the methods of critical works (CW), continuous use of resources (CURS) and continuous development of work fronts (CDW). Based on the above, proposals were developed for planning and monitoring the implementation of C&I using a set of laser scanning tools, neural network and 4D modeling.

– Is this precisely what makes your research novel?

– Based on the results of the research work, provisions of scientific and practical significance have been developed: firstly, the design and mathematical model for predictive assessment of the degree of damage and technical condition of a building has been adjusted taking into account the parameters of explosive impact; secondly, a regression and analytical model has been developed for taking into account the impact of significant factors on the duration and quality of restoration and repair; thirdly, an organizational and technological model for restoration and repair of construction projects has been developed based on the following tools: laser scanning, 4D and neural network modeling; fourthly, an aggregated "object-node" method for restoration and repair of construction projects has been developed based on optimal design and organizational and technological solutions with the calculation for each proposed solution of such basic spatial-technological and resource parameters as the number of work fronts and sections, flow capacity, production rate, labor intensity, labor costs, consumption of building materials, estimated cost of work; fifthly, a software and information complex for calendar planning and dynamic adjustment of repairs to construction projects has been developed in the integrated PyCharm environment of the Python programming language, which makes it possible to determine the duration of work using the methods of R&D, MKR, NOFR, as well as their organizational and technological reliability.

Thus, a comprehensive approach is proposed that allows interactive implementation of planning and control processes as a single system with the ability to dynamically adjust construction and monitoring work during their implementation. All of the above is the essence of the novelty of the study.

– In what main directions can the expected results of your research be used?

– In science, the obtained dependencies allow predicting the consequences of explosive impact and possible categories of technical condition of buildings depending on the expected power and type of shock-explosive impact on the building. The proposed aggregated approach, information and organizational-technological models of restoration and repair will allow modeling all production parameters and the nature of their dependencies. In real construction, the application of the research results will significantly increase the efficiency of planning and monitoring of construction and installation works using the methods of R&D, MKR, NOFR taking into account the risks during their implementation. In the educational process, the obtained results are appropriate to use in the study of disciplines considering the technical inspection of capital construction projects, technical operation of buildings and structures, organization, planning and management in the process of repair and restoration works.

Irina Nuryeva and Sergei Gaiduk

On the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism, SPbGASU students met with retired Federal Security Service Colonel Sergei Gaiduk. The event was organized by the Youth Policy Department of our university.

Sergei Gaiduk has dedicated 35 years to serving his country, 17 of which were in counter-terrorism units. He currently heads the comprehensive security department at the Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design and manages the coordination center for issues of developing an active civic position among young people, preventing interethnic and interfaith conflicts, countering the ideology of terrorism, and preventing extremism.

The speaker reminded the students that the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism was established in memory of the events in Beslan in 2004, when 334 people died as a result of the school seizure, including 186 children. Sergei Vladimirovich cited statistics: in 2024, 1,191 terrorist attacks were registered, 4,170 people were injured, 1,370 died. In 2025, 172 terrorist attacks were prevented.

The audience learned details about the most high-profile terrorist attacks in Russia, watched a video about the heroes who gave their lives for the children of Beslan, and had the opportunity to ask questions.

"I really liked the lecture. It was obvious that the presenter had a deep knowledge of the topic. It is necessary to talk about such events," said Anastasia Germanova, a first-year student at the Automobile and Road Engineering Faculty.

"I was interested in this topic myself, watched documentaries. I believe that history teaches us and helps us not to repeat mistakes in the future," shared Ekaterina Zabelina, a first-year student at the Faculty of Architecture.

Irina Nuriyeva, head of the youth policy department, emphasized that the department she heads is open to new ideas and proposals. "Tell us what interesting people you would like to meet and in what format. We are ready to hold such meetings," Irina Valeryevna told the students.

The Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering has summed up the final results of the 2025 admissions campaign. The university has not only recruited another class, but also confirmed its status as one of the key centers of attraction for future engineers, designers and architects of the North-West.

This year, the university opened its doors to 4,708 talented applicants. This figure speaks of the trust of applicants and their parents in the quality of education at SPbGASU.

The competition for budget places was especially intense, as always. 1930 people were able to successfully pass the competitive selection and become budget students. These are the most motivated and strong applicants, which guarantees a high level of future graduation.

Full-time education traditionally remains the most popular. 2,765 people are enrolled in it, and almost every second of them (1,237 students) will study at the expense of state funds.

The part-time and correspondence forms showed stable demand, bringing together 896 students. This format is ideal for those who combine education with work in their field, which is especially valuable in the construction and design industries.

The university is growing not only in breadth but also in depth, actively training highly qualified specialists and scientific personnel.

The Master's program accepted 955 people, and the vast majority (796 people) chose full-time education. It is important that 80 percent of full-time Master's students (637 people) will study on a budget, which indicates the priority of research training for the state.

The postgraduate program has been expanded by 92 new researchers. More than half of them (56 people) will work on their dissertations at the expense of budgetary funds.

The 2025 admission campaign has become another confident step forward for SPbGASU. The university not only maintains, but also increases its educational scale, offering high-quality programs for students with different educational trajectories – from a classic bachelor's degree to fundamental postgraduate studies.

Adapters are always ready to help

On August 30, the University held a Freshman Day: our new students gathered to hear good wishes and get the necessary information. They were given student cards.

Deans, deputy deans, and employees of the university's structural divisions addressed the first-year students. Outstanding graduates and representatives of partner companies were guests of the celebration.

Vladimir Sharmanov, Head of the Product and Methodology Department of the Innovation Directorate of Etalon Group, congratulated first-year students of the construction faculty on the beginning of a new stage in their lives. “Today, construction is a synthesis of innovations, digital technologies and sustainable development. You will not just erect buildings – you will be able to design smart cities, implement TIM technologies, use eco-friendly materials and change the world for the better. Within the walls of the university, you will not only receive fundamental knowledge, but also modern educational approaches with the study of robotics, the use of VR simulators and other digital technologies. Believe in yourself, do not be afraid to experiment and remember: your ideas will definitely become reality. We wish you bright projects, bold decisions and confidence in your abilities! Forward to new heights!” he said.

Oleg Fyodorov, Deputy Dean for Career Guidance, spoke to first-year students of the Faculty of Architecture about building a career: “I want you to know from the very first days: your teachers, department heads, dean’s office staff, and university management care about your future. The university and the Faculty of Architecture carry out systematic career guidance work so that you become as successful, as in-demand, and as professional as possible. The work is carried out in three main areas. The first is summer industrial practice, which begins after the fourth year. Students of the Faculty of Architecture of SPbGASU get summer practice in the best architectural studios not only in St. Petersburg, but throughout Russia. The dean’s office also receives requests from Moscow to recommend students for practical training with the prospect of employment. If students from other cities have plans to create in their small homeland, they will definitely be helped.

The second area of career guidance work is competitions. The faculty supports students' desire to participate in architectural and design competitions. This can become a significant component of the portfolio, which should be formed from the very first years of study.

The third area is assistance in employment. Despite the fact that the educational process is very intensive, some manage to start professional creative work already in their senior years. For the rest, after graduation, we are always ready to help with recommendations and selection of vacancies, we even have a separate division – the Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career."

The topical issue of scholarships was raised by Daria Boytsova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design: “SPbGASU has a whole system of scholarship and material support for students. Now first-year students who study on a budgetary basis will be assigned a state academic scholarship. It will be paid after successful completion of the midterm assessment. There is also an opportunity to receive an increased state academic scholarship – it is assigned to students of the budgetary form of education for achievements in academic, scientific, research, social, cultural, creative and sports activities. Certain categories of citizens can receive a state social scholarship in the usual and increased amount. In addition, there are personal scholarships of the Government of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation and others.

In September, the application process for the “First-Year Grant” competition will begin. First-year full-time students of all bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs who are receiving higher education for the first time can participate in it.”

Darya Vladimirovna invited first-year students to participate in grant events and other federal projects, trips, exchange programs with foreign countries; informed about the work of the psychological support service for students and trainings of the Center for Psychological Support for Students, which help to cope with everyday problems.

Anastasia Fedakova, acting chairperson of the student council and winner of the grant competition "Rosmolodezh. Grants", spoke about what SPbGASU students live by. Anastasia is sure that SPbGASU is the best place to study. Student council projects will help you find friends, learn something new, and discover your talents. The main thing is to remember to maintain a balance between your studies and hobbies.

Congratulations to our first-year students on the start of their student life!

Participants of the summer school

On August 19, the summer school of the Adapters project opened at the Educational Center for Project-Based Learning at SPbGASU. Over the course of ten days, its participants will exchange experiences, learn about the best practices for adapting first-year students, and consider innovative approaches and work formats.

The Adapters project is an initiative of the SPbGASU student council aimed at helping first-year full-time students adapt to the educational and social environment. Adapters accompany new students during the first months of study, introduce them to the university and the city, and involve them in student activities. You can learn more about the project in its VKontakte group.

The goal of the summer school, organized with the support of the Youth Policy Department of SPbGASU, is to form a community of active, creative and responsive mentors who know how to establish trusting relationships and take into account the needs of first-year students. The results of the classes will be plans for the adaptation of first-year students within the thematic areas “I am proud”, “Moral ideals”, “

Marina Malyutina, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy at SPbGASU, gave a welcoming speech at the opening of the summer school. She called on the participants to remember the importance of their mission and focused on the activities of the new Educational Center for Project-Based Learning, where students can apply the knowledge they have gained at the university to solving real practical problems, generate and implement their ideas.

The opening ceremony summed up the results of the video competition dedicated to the movement of adapters. The first place and prizes were awarded to the team of the Automobile and Road Faculty.

The business program of the summer school of adapters includes a quest around the university, familiarization with the activities of structural divisions, online training on the platforms of the Rosmolodezh Academy and the Shum educational center, and other events.

Adapters of our university held an "Honest Conversation" with Ivan Khlamov, Head of the Youth Policy Department of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, an expert of Rosmolodezh.Granty. The speaker told about the activities of adapters in his university. For first-year students of SPbPU, they are the entry point into the youth policy system, because an adapter is the first person with whom a first-year student comes into personal contact. Ivan Khlamov is sure that young people are the driver of the country's development in the future, and what values, guidelines, and hobbies the student path will take depends largely on adapters.

The interactive lecture "Ecosystem of youth policy. How not to miss opportunities" by Victoria Motorenko, director of youth spaces "PROSTO", turned out to be educational. These spaces are a project of the Government of St. Petersburg, implemented by the Committee on youth policy and interaction with public organizations. "PROSTO" has two components – infrastructure (a network of free youth coworking spaces) and intellectual (events of various formats). Events for young entrepreneurs are held here – from small lectures to full-fledged educational tracks. They are also always ready to comprehensively support socially significant initiatives.

Victoria Motorenko called on the audience to actively participate in grant competitions and events of youth spaces, and also announced the signing of a cooperation agreement between PROSTO and SPbGASU. According to Victoria, our creative and responsible students will be able to join in the creation of spaces that are a symbol of St. Petersburg in the youth environment.

The final event will be a trip to the State Budgetary Institution of the Leningrad Region "Multifunctional Center "Youth", established by the Committee on Youth Policy of the Leningrad Region in the village of Koshkino.

Every year on August 22, the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation is celebrated. The holiday was established in 1994 by presidential decree.

The history of the tricolor is closely intertwined with the history of our country. It was first raised on the military ship "Orel" in 1668. Since 1705, by decree of Peter I, the tricolor banner was used on merchant ships.

During the reign of Alexander II, Russia had two flags: black-yellow-white was hung on government buildings, and white-blue-red – on holidays on private buildings. In 1883, Emperor Alexander III ordered that buildings be decorated exclusively with white-blue-red flags. In 1896, a special meeting at the Ministry of Justice determined that the flag of the empire should be considered white-blue-red.

In 1917, the Provisional Government retained this flag. In 1918, it was replaced by a red cloth.

In the modern history of Russia, the tricolor flag was first raised in Moscow on August 22, 1991, over the building of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR.

The flag of the Russian Federation is one of the most important state symbols. It unites all citizens of Russia, causing pride and reminding of the continuity of traditions.
