Aleksey Petrov talks about production

Last December, SPbGASU students won the Parklet competition to create mini-parks for cities in the Leningrad Region. The competition's organizer, the Council for Urban Development of the Leningrad Region, decided that the winners would oversee the assembly process of parklet products at the project's investor factories, the "Berkano" and "Beautiful City" enterprises.

On 24 January, our students had their first tour of the "Beautiful City" production facility and were introduced to the project's chief designers. The event was attended by students of the SPbGASU Faculty of Architecture under the guidance of Oleg Fedorov, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Architecture for Career Guidance Counceling, Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Design, and Igor Yurin, Head of the Leningrad Region Competence Center.

The participants discussed the details of the winning project implementation. Aleksey Petrov, a member of the Council for Urban Development, conducted a tour of the production facility.

"The parklet competition was planned as part of the educational process, but in the end we received real projects that deserve implementing. The investor is so inspired by the result that he took on all the costs of assembling and installing the structures. Now the students' main task is to ensure that every detail corresponds to their idea. We are planning to install the minimalist park on 1 June on the main square of Tosno," said Sergey Lutchenko, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Urban Development Policy of the Leningrad Region - Chief Architect of the Leningrad Region.
