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.

At the Department of Geotechnics of SPbGASU, under the scientific supervision of Honored Scientist of Russia, Corresponding Member of RAASN, Doctor of Engineering Rashid Mangushev, changes in the condition of sandy foundations when they are contaminated with oil and oil products are being studied.

The research as part of the preparation of the candidate's dissertation is carried out by postgraduate student and senior lecturer of the department Alina Kvashuk.

The aim of the work is to assess the nature and degree of change in the physical and mechanical characteristics of sandy soils when interacting with oil and oil products, which will allow us to predict changes in the condition of soils at the base of structures during man-made pollution.

As part of the study, recommendations were developed for the calculation methodology for the limit states of foundations of buildings and structures on contaminated sandy bases, taking into account changes in the physical and mechanical properties of soils. This will ensure long-term and trouble-free operation of buildings and structures of the oil complex.

The work is being carried out within the framework of a grant for the implementation of research work by research and teaching staff of SPbGASU in 2025.

Under the supervision of Alexandra Eremeeva, PhD in architecture and associate professor of the architectural design department at SPbGASU, research into the architectural features of tourist complexes in the Arctic zone of Russia has been conducted for several years. The development of the tourist potential of the Russian Far North is part of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality".

"Development of tourism in the Arctic requires special approaches. On the one hand, the region has a unique natural landscape, on the other hand, it imposes extremely tough conditions on construction: an extremely cold climate, remoteness from logistics hubs, a fragile ecosystem. In such conditions, traditional methods of constructing tourism infrastructure are often either too expensive or simply impossible. In this regard, more and more attention is being paid to modular architectural solutions," explained Alexandra Eremeeva.

She noted that modular structures make it possible to manufacture tourist facilities – residential units, pavilions, food outlets and other service facilities – in factory conditions and deliver the finished modules directly to the installation site. This significantly optimizes the process and makes it possible to build tourist facilities in a short time, since the construction period in the Arctic region is very limited due to climatic conditions. Modular facilities can be operated autonomously: they are equipped with heating, water supply, drainage, ventilation systems and often do not require a capital foundation. Modules can be adapted to various landscapes and different needs of tourists. At the same time, they do not disturb the natural environment and can be dismantled without a trace.

"From an economic point of view, modular facilities are a rational solution, especially in places where capital construction is not only expensive, but also impractical. What is important here is the speed of launch, mobility, and payback within one or two tourist seasons. In addition, modularity opens the way to typological experiments: you can change the layout inside the module, expand the complex, combine modules depending on the tasks and budget," emphasized Alexandra Eremeeva.

Postgraduate student Ilya Yunchis studied the possibilities of using modular tourist facilities in this region. He chose this topic for a reason: his architectural bureau Sai participated in the design and implementation of a tourist complex consisting of modular facilities in the village of Teriberka in the Murmansk region. The project uses compact residential modules with panoramic glazing, structural solutions with a lightweight frame and effective insulation, ventilated facades, and an emphasis on energy efficiency. It was possible to create comfortable conditions for tourists without harming the environment, which was a fundamental guideline for the authors of the project.

"Modular solutions allow architecture to be flexible, sensitive to nature, and at the same time expressive and functional. Modular objects are the future of Arctic tourism," the authors of the study are convinced.
