📝🏢⚡How to turn the sketch into a 3-D model: the results of the SPbGASU international online summer school on Urban Sketching

We are glad to share with you the results of our summer school on Urban Sketching🙌💥

At the official closing of the international summer school the participants were awarded university certificates. In addition, students and teachers shared their impressions of the design and sketching experience gained.

The SPbGASU professor Andrey Vaytens coordinating the project part of the summer school highly evaluated the created design projects. ‘Ksenia and Tatiana are one of the best students of our Faculty of Architecture, Department of Urban Planning, and I am glad that participating in our summer school was beneficial for them. Giulia Gamba worked at the unfamiliar territory of St Petersburg, but during a very short period of time she managed to learn the location landscape and architectural features and suggest fresh creative ideas’, he said.

“I would like to thank the organizers and curators of the program for the past two weeks,” said Guilia Gamba. - I enriched my cultural baggage and was able to get acquainted with a new approach to work on a project, different from the one adopted in Italy. And, of course, I was fascinated by St Petersburg and dream of seeing it with my own eyes one day “.

After the final project presentation several objects were selected for the further development of three-dimensional models that will be printed on 3D printers at the Center for Mechanical Testing of Building Structures at SPbGASU Test Center. Soon we will show the first implementation step - laser cutting🤩📐

🌠🏢The last but not the least🤗

Today was the final day of our summer school “Urban Planning: Architectural Design from Sketch to 3-D Model"🔆 We are delighted to share with you the students’ final presentations with the summer school sketches portfolio and design projects on renovation of the public spaces 🌐

🙋‍♀ Giulia Gamba from University of Beregamo (Italy) developed the project on the former mill located in the “grey belt” of the city on the corner of the Obvodny Canal Embankment and Obykhovskoy Oborony Avenue. She suggested to use this territory for allocating commercial and residential buildings of different price
categories, the open-air recreation areas and green zones🌾, the hotel and museum of bread (which is explained by the location historical identity). The student worked out the scenario of the transport traffic and pedestrian flow on the territory🚗🚶‍♀

🙋‍♀🙋‍♀The SPbGASU students Tatiana Grishina and Ksenia Telenkova worked on the renovation development concept of the Gutuyev Island. The students analyzed the benefits and drawbacks of the spot, identified its potential and present the design solution incorporating a school, residential buildings, coworking spaces, a media library, a cafe, administrative buildings, a cultural center, a swimming pool 🏊‍♀, a gym and a research institute. All of these ideas are also oriented to saving the place spirit: the old buildings, including the campus of Admiral Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping, the natural landscape and the port lighthouse⛵.

💬 The SPbGASU professor Andrey Vaytens coordinating the project part of the summer school highly evaluated the created design projects. ‘Ksenia and Tatiana are one of the best students of our Faculty of Architecture, Department of Urban Planning, and I am glad that participating in our summer school was beneficial for them. Giulia Gamba worked at the unfamiliar territory of St Petersburg, but during a very short period of time she managed to learn the location landscape and architectural features and suggest fresh creative ideas’, he said.

On Saturday the 3-D Models of the selected students’ project will be presented and then printed in the 3-D Laboratory at SPbGASU🤩🏛🏛🏛

🌈🌈🌈A very inspiring lecture by Timothy Gray, Professor of Architecture at Ball State University (USA), in the scope of our Urban Sketching summer school

Timothy Gray is an architect, educator and environmental advocate with extensive expertise in sustainable design.

In addition to his teaching Timothy has an active practice, Gray Architecture, which was established in 1995 and has completed a broad range projects both in Indianapolis and beyond, including the recently renovated Hotel Broad Ripple.

📝📝📝Prof. Gray not only presented the sketching works in different styles and techniques by his students during the lecture, but also raised a very interesting topic of transformation of the digital age. When conventional handmade sketches compete with the new digital formats.

The second part of the lecture was devoted to “Creative Renovation”, where T. Gray demonstrated beautiful renovation works by such architects as Walter Pichler, the Austrian artist exploring the relationship between the object and space, and David Ireland, the American sculptor, conceptual artist and Minimalist architect, who embraced archeological approach and revealed the time layers while creating his famous site-specific installation art pieces at his former residence at 500 Capp Street.

At the end of T. Gray’s lecture, it was sweet to remember the visit of his students’ group to SPbGASU in summer 2018 where Russian and American students had a joint creative workshop and made their sketches walking along the architectural objects of St Petersburg.

💥Looking forward to welcoming Prof. Gray next year offline during the next edition of our Urban Sketching summer school 2022!
