Now, when entering the SPbGASU Faculty of Architecture, everyone can see the symbol of the coming year - the dragon. The author, team leader and model maker is Associate Professor at the Department of Architectural Environment Design Konstantin Kolodin. For several years now, he and his students have been trying to surprise everyone and do something unusual: the year before, the symbol of the year was established for the first time - the tiger, in the past - transforming hares, this year - a dragon.

• Konstantin Ivanovich said that everything was built with a heavy dose of enthusiasm: those interested came in their free time and worked as during a master class. He showed, made, and the whole team watched, repeated and made after him.

“Our dragon, as expected, is green. But while it was flying to us, it was covered with frost due to the cold and powdered with snow. It became white, like chalk or like my summer hat. The point of our action is to give smiles and warmth to everyone who watched us and who is now looking at the dragon. Let everyone remember themselves as children next to a huge Christmas tree, as big as our dragon!” – Konstantin Ivanovich shared.
