Signing of the agreement at the Military Institute (Engineering and Technical)

The Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering is expanding its interuniversity and interdepartmental collaboration. Following a working meeting, a cooperation agreement was signed with the Military Institute (Engineering and Technical) of the Federal State Treasury Military Educational Institution of Higher Education "Military Academy of Logistics named after General of the Army A.V. Khrulyov" of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The document aims to develop educational and scientific initiatives in the fields of unmanned systems, information modeling, artificial intelligence, and joint applied research.

On behalf of SPbGASU, the signing ceremony was attended by First Vice-Rector Svetlana Golovina, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Sergei Mikhailov, Vice-Rector for Continuing Education Victoria Vinogradova, and Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Andrei Nikulin.

A key area of collaboration will be developing competencies in the field of unmanned systems management. Furthermore, the partners are interested in training specialists in modern information modeling software, participating in joint research projects, seminars, conferences, and forums, and implementing solutions using artificial intelligence technologies.

As Andrey Nikulin, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at SPbGASU, noted, the cooperation is mutually beneficial: "We are interested in developing the field of unmanned systems and their control. At the same time, our partners require support in training in information modeling and artificial intelligence. This forms the basis for sustainable and complementary collaboration."

One of the first practical steps under the agreement could be the creation of a joint training center. It is expected to operate on the premises of the partner organization, using its facilities and technical infrastructure, and SPbGASU students will be able to undergo regular training there, including training for additional military specialties.

The agreement also provides for advanced training for teaching staff, participation in the development of programs and projects for socioeconomic development, support for talented youth, and the dissemination of information on new scientific research and developments. This collaboration is free of charge and does not imply any financial obligations for the parties: each organization bears its own costs for the implementation of these activities.

Furthermore, the collaboration opens up additional opportunities for engaging students in applied projects and facilitates the partner's human resources needs. The university notes that developing collaboration in digital technologies, information modeling, and unmanned systems meets modern engineering training requirements and will contribute to the increased competitiveness of SPbGASU graduates.

Project team

Students from the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering are developing a design for the second phase of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) campus on Russky Island in Vladivostok as part of the interuniversity competitive educational program "Project Bureau." The program was organized by the public-law company "Ediny Zakaznik" (Unified Customer) on behalf of the Russian Ministry of Construction.

The student team is supervised by Alexandra Masyonene, senior lecturer at the Department of Information and Mathematical Modeling Technologies at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

Work on the project began as part of the "Project-Based Activity" elective course at the Project-Based Learning Educational Center (PBL) at SPbGASU. The first draft was presented in December 2025, after which the team began refining and improving it.

After successful defense of projects within the framework of the elective course The Center for Professional Development (OCPD) continued its collaboration with the students, providing support for their further development. The team plans to submit the project to a competition and then defend it as a comprehensive final thesis.

The project is significant in scale and complexity. The total development area is approximately 76,000 square meters. The campus includes:

Superior hotel-type dormitories for 3,000–4,000 people; a public building – a creative ideas center.

In addition, design documentation for the “PD” stage is being developed for one section of the hostel with a capacity of 300–350 rooms.

What makes this project unique is that it requires participants to possess not only architectural training but also the ability to work at the intersection of several professional disciplines. Designing a campus on a seismically hazardous site with complex terrain requires a comprehensive approach, encompassing architecture, urban planning, residential and public space planning, functional zoning, engineering design, consideration of economics and regulatory requirements, and the use of modern digital modeling tools.

For students, participation in the program becomes a full-fledged professional experience, allowing them to work on real-world problems at the national level.

As Alexandra Masionienė notes, the key value of the project lies in its practical focus:

"For students, this is an opportunity to go beyond the academic assignment and engage in a real professional process. It's important not only to propose an architectural concept but also to consider the specific features of the site, the functional structure of the campus, and environmental requirements. This is a comprehensive project that fosters responsibility for the decisions they make."

According to the professor, modern design is impossible without an interdisciplinary approach: "Today, architecture is developing in conjunction with digital modeling, analytics, and teamwork. It's important for our department to show students how information modeling technologies are becoming part of real-world practice."

Inna Sukhanova, Director of the Project-Based Learning Educational Center, also emphasized the significance of the work accomplished: "During the development phase, the team considered several architectural solutions and consulted with faculty from the Department of Architectural Design. The team included students from the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, and the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Engineering. They accomplished a great deal of work, and we eagerly await the results of this large-scale project."

Alexander Korobov, Apollinaria Letunova, Olga Leonova, and Matvey Matveyev

SPbGASU students Alexander Korobov (second-year student in the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Urban Management), Matvey Matveyev (second-year student in the Faculty of Civil Engineering), and Apollinaria Letunova (first-year student in the Faculty of Civil Engineering) won the Open International Student Internet Olympiad in the discipline "Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics" in a specialized profile (with in-depth study of the discipline).

Alexander Korobov was awarded a gold medal, while Matvey Matveyev and Apollinaria Letunova received silver medals. Olga Leonova, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics (NGiIG), prepared the students for the Olympiad.

Descriptive geometry is traditionally considered one of the most challenging subjects for students in engineering. It lays the foundation for engineering thinking. "It's not enough to simply learn an algorithm: you need to have a developed spatial imagination," noted Elena Denisova, Head of the Department of Geophysics and Geophysics, Associate Professor, and Candidate of Engineering Sciences.

The Descriptive Geometry Olympiad brought together the strongest students. Students competed in their ability to see the invisible and transfer complex three-dimensional objects onto the plane of a drawing. Participants were presented with 16 advanced problems. For three hours, students worked on tasks that went beyond the standard curriculum:

construction of intersection lines of complex surfaces, tangent planes; solution of metric and positional problems; projection drawing.

The jury assessed not only the accuracy of the final result (the work was completed in the graphics program Kompas-3D), but also the elegance of the chosen solution method.

Congratulations to the winners and runners-up! These students have proven that engineering graphics and descriptive geometry are disciplines that only the most persistent and talented can master.

The second final round was hosted by St. Petersburg State University. The open international student internet olympiads are organized by the Research Institute for Monitoring the Quality of Education. In the 2025–2026 season, internet olympiads are held in 19 disciplines in the humanities and natural sciences. A total of 43,350 students from 130 educational institutions in the Russian Federation and CIS countries participated. 4,809 students from 124 universities and university branches in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan were invited to participate in the second round.

Finalists of the competition

From March 5th to 7th, the 5th International Competition "Tourism Code of My Country, City, Town, or District – PRO-Tourism" was held in Moscow. This project aims to create and develop new tourist routes and promote and develop the tourism industry in Russia. Students from SPbGASU participated in the competition for the first time.

This year, the competition received over 1,000 applications from 86 regions. The competition was held in two stages. The in-person semi-final round featured 450 selected entries from 74 federal regions.

SPbGASU was represented by students from the Urban Planning Department, Maria Kuznetsova, Gleb Ivanov, and Anastasia Leontyeva, under the guidance of Mikhail Vilensky, PhD in Architecture and Associate Professor of the Urban Planning Department. Their work was presented in the "Scientific and Industrial Tourism" category.

The project defenses took place at the Moscow University of Humanities and Technology – Moscow Institute of Architecture and Civil Engineering (MGTU-MASI). The contestants presented their projects to a panel of experts, including tourism and hospitality industry specialists. Maria Kuznetsova presented her project "Sosnovo: Where the Myths of the Kalevala Become Reality" at the in-person stage.

Our students' work proposes a new settlement model based on a tourism and recreational framework. This idea encourages peripheral areas to develop not only for recreation but also for tourism. The concept can be replicated in other communities with similar potential.

Following the competition, the SPbGASU student project was among the winners and awarded a second-degree diploma.

The competition program was packed with not only professional events but also cultural activities: participants were given a tour of MSTU-MASI, visited the Kremlin, the Izmailovo Estate, and the Rossiya National Center. The awards ceremony took place at Gostiny Dvor.

Kiy Island

As part of the real-world project work that SPbGASU students undertake during their studies, projects are being developed for various parts of Russia. For example, work began in February on a commission from the administration of the Onega Municipal District in the Arkhangelsk Region.

As part of the large-scale initiative "Concept for the Reconstruction of the Historic Center and the Development of Tourist Infrastructure in the City of Onega," a new architectural expedition was held for first-year master's students in the Department of Architectural Design, led by Associate Professor Alexandra Eremeeva. According to Alexandra, "the research topic is highly relevant, addressing the key challenges of contemporary urban development policy—the search for effective mechanisms for the revival of small historical settlements in northern Russia."

The expedition was organized at the request of the Onega city administration as part of the university's "Project-Based Learning" program, which initially gave it a practice-oriented focus. Significant support for the project came from Mikhail Aleksandrovich Mamoshin, a native of Onega, a graduate of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, an academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, the Russian Academy of Architects and Construction Sciences, and the International Academy of Architecture in Moscow, and an Honored Architect of Russia.

Preparations for the expedition began in mid-2025 and included not only theoretical research but also productive business contacts. With the assistance of Mikhail Mamoshin, a working meeting was held in St. Petersburg with Vera Ponomareva, head of the Onega Municipal District of the Arkhangelsk Region, which allowed for the alignment of academic goals with the municipality's real-world needs. As a result, the students arrived on site with preliminary design concepts, rather than blank slates.

As Alexandra Eremeeva notes, "We are combining the development of the historic center and tourism in the Onega District. The town of Onega has deep roots in Pomor culture, and our goal is to use this heritage to improve the quality of life for residents and develop the district's tourism appeal. The two-year project will conclude with the defense of theses in June 2027, and the current expedition is a crucial step in gathering feedback from the local community, whose opinions are crucial for future work."

The expedition's program was very comprehensive. The district administration prepared a long itinerary that allowed for a deep appreciation of the local character. A key part of the expedition was the in-kind survey of the design sites. The cultural program included visits to the Onega Historical and Memorial Museum, Kiy Island, and the village of Vorzogory, home to a unique wooden architectural complex. These impressions and the collected materials will form the basis for further work.

Expedition participants: Master's students Valeria Trepykhalina, Angelina Savitskaya, Arina Tikhonova, Alexander Grekov, Sofya Galkina, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Alexandra Eremeeva, Head of the Onega District Vera Ponomareva, Master's student Svetlana Bryukhanova, employees of Mikhail Mamoshin's workshop Evgeniya Saenko and Alexey Matveenko (postgraduate student at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering)

The expedition included Alexey Matveenko, a graduate student in the Department of Architectural Design, whose research focuses on the architectural features of cultural centers. This provided the trip with additional research depth.

"The project's practical significance for the town of Onega is undeniable. The results of the two-year project will be shared with the administration for potential practical use. Furthermore, a series of scientific publications and presentations at relevant conferences are planned. Thus, the Onega-2050 project serves as a shining example of the successful symbiosis of education, science, and the real-world goals set by the municipality, confirming that student design can be an effective tool for the socioeconomic development of small towns," notes Alexandra Eremeeva.
