The Department of Architecture and Urban Planning was opened at Vologda State University in 1988, and in twenty years has acquired a reputation as one of the best in the Northwest.
Here they defend the importance of preserving the true historical heritage, rejection of pseudo-historical forgeries, they are guided by the search and reflection in architecture of modern and promising forms of development of society and its culture.
One of the priorities is to intensify ties with other educational institutions. The department cooperates with the Florentine Romualdo del Bianco Foundation, summer practices and individual lectures are conducted by teachers of the Moscow Institute of Architecture, Kazan State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, the Institute of Architecture and Arts of the Southern Federal University.
Introduce our readers to the five best works of recent years, which were selected by the teachers.
Network design
Elena Ordina, 2019
Elena Ordina researched the advantages of creating a living environment by the method of network cooperation, that is, through the interaction of architects and various specialists on a special online platform.
At the first stage of her work, Elena analyzed the existing platforms and determined effective interaction formats. The results are reflected in the article
"Networked cloud systems in the home: structures, platforms, collaborations."
The found methods were worked out on a real object: the existing RC “River Quarter” became a “laboratory”, which Elena tried to redesign using a network method, involving various specialists, as well as residents of the complex, who made their proposals regarding the arrangement of the courtyard and the design of the facades. We managed to find patterns, develop a general scenario, which was then discussed again. It turned out "Housing for people and from people."

The work has shown that network design allows you to create an extremely diverse but holistic environment of high social and architectural quality, capable of development and transformation. The method allows taking into account a wide range of the needs of the inhabitant, which creates a high value of housing for the consumer. For the design model, the corresponding construction and management models were also developed - with the division of the project into many developers, network competition among builders ("Uberization").
The work was presented at the CIB World Building Congress "Creating Smart Cities", held in Hong Kong in 2019.
House-commune of post-industrial society
Andrey Torbin, 2016
Could the potential of communal life be relevant for a modern city? If so, what is its functional, spatial and figurative expression?
On the territory adjacent to the Vologda River, Andrey designs a modern commune house inspired by the city's creative youth. The complex combines communal, rental and private housing categories, linked by a network of collective interaction.

The communal and the individual interact in a complex manner, the "belonging" and "uniqueness" of each subject are expressed not only functionally-spatially, but also metaphorically. Inspired by Moisei Ginzburg's duplexes, the author has developed a series of one- and two-level residential units - individual, family and shared apartments, in combination with a well-thought-out system of service spaces that meet the whole variety of life patterns on a “together-separately” scale. This distinguishes voluntary postindustrial communality from the ideologically based, unified models of the 1920s.
Residential complex as a 3D neighborhood
Olga Pisareva, 2016
Reconstruction of traditional low-rise buildings and their replacement with multi-storey ones destroys the existing neighborhood ties. Olga asks the question: is it possible to preserve the neighborhood in the structure of a multi-storey dwelling using a 3D format?
3D neighborhood is a social-spatial organization of a multi-storey dwelling based on a combination of horizontal and vertical neighborhood ties. The concept includes a program of interaction between children, the elderly, single, young married couples and other categories - in terms of content, structure and intensity.

The residential quarter, created on the basis of the concept, is built around functional-spatial nodes, “foci of vertical neighborhoods”: mini-commerce, coworking spaces, laundries, communal greenery, etc. The quarter is formed by four “horizontal” neighborhoods, each of which has its own vertical organization - displacements, visual connections, functional dependencies and interactions.
Abandoned railway as a reserve for a multicultural DIY community
Alexander Taslunov, 2019
The periphery of Vologda with an abandoned railway is a depressive environment where industrial buildings are mixed with semi-spontaneous development. Here live people who received small plots for living, gardening and horticulture more than half a century ago. Until now, growing fruits and vegetables for them is a necessity, not a leisure. Almost everything built and created here is the result of activities such as DIY (do it yourself - "do it yourself").
Both people and the territory are under the threat of urbanization: when official urban planning comes here, the usual way of life will come to an end. But Alexander believes that it is necessary to preserve individual and collective activities such as DIY: small vegetable gardens, greenhouses and greenhouses, family and neighborhood life, a feasible local business, infrastructure for selling grown products, habitual forms of recreation, etc.

Based on the concepts of “open construction” and “support / infill” by Nicholas Habraken, Alexander has developed five volumetric-spatial modules that combine municipal initiative and infrastructure in the form of functionally neutral shelves that can be filled in-house by households or small commercial developers.
The work was shortlisted for the International Student Competition in Architectural Design. UIA-HYP 2019 “Happy Spaces - Integrating Architecture and Landscapes”.
Social investment packages
Tatiana Zamashkina, 2015
Striving for maximum building density, investors are not interested in the social goals of design and the creation of a high quality living environment. Basically, separate design models for the “poor” and “rich” are being implemented, which leads to socio-territorial segregation.
Tatiana creates seven "social investment packages" (SIP) - modules for the development, construction implementation, operation and organization of life, each of which consists of indivisible commercial and social components.

On the basis of the developed SIPs, a project of a residential area with an attractive density for the investor, but which also takes into account the interests of all groups of the population, functional requirements and norms, has been completed. Projects have been developed for three categories of dwellings in terms of cost, a wide range of volumetric-spatial models - atrium, gallery, sectional, and interlocked.
Examples of SIPs: “community center + commercial apartments”, “subsidized services + trade”, “social housing + trade and offices”, “public greening in dwellings + commercial apartments”.
