SPbGASU ended "Architectural Seasons"

For the twelfth time, the Regional Creative Forum with international participation "Architectural Seasons" was held at the  SPbGASU Faculty of Architecture. The forum, which lasted from April 19 to 22, comprised lectures with invited architects, clauses, master classes, debates on topical issues of modern architecture, bus tours for students, a scientific conference and other events.

“We are very pleased that our graduates, who have become successful architects, met with students. The "Architectural Seasons" was opened by the outstanding modern architect Evgeny Gerasimov, a graduate of LISI. Vladimir Reppo and Andrey Kochetkov, SPbGASU graduates of different years, held a debate with students on the topic "City of the Future". It is extremely important for us that architects keep in touch with their university. We are proud of the success of our graduates, we are always glad to see them at the faculty and are grateful to them for communicating with those who are still studying. It is very important for modern students to see the prospects of their profession,” shared the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture Ekaterina Voznyak.
