In the regional branch of DOSAAF Russia for Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region, projects for the development of the organization’s aerodrome territories, prepared by students of the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, were presented. The university delegation was headed by the vice-rector for youth policy.Marina Malyutinaand senior lecturer of the Department of Architectural Environment DesignAleksei Perov.
Concepts were presented to the Chairman of DOSAAF RussiaTo Alexander Gromov,To the leadership of the regional branch of the organization, as well as to the specialists of the aviation department. The authors of the projects were students of the architecture faculty of SPbGASU, who personally presented their developments and answered participants’ questions at the meeting.
Students worked on development concepts for the aerodromes “Gorelovo”, “Gorskaya” and “Sivoritsy”. The work was done in extracurricular time and included studying the infrastructure of the territories, photo documentation, analysis of the existing development, and the development of architectural and planning solutions.
Aleksey PerovIt should be noted that the project became an important practical work experience with real territories and customers for the students: “With the students, we visited all the sites, walked through the territories on foot, took a large number of photographs, and familiarized ourselves with the objects directly on site. Despite the very tight deadlines, the guys showed great independence and took a serious approach to studying the regulatory framework and developing concepts.”
The concept of the “Gorelovo” airfield was presented by a fourth-year student majoring in “Architectural Environment Design”.Karina Musina, Anna KrivenkovaиDarya Gorozhankina.
The development project of the “Gorskaya” aerodrome was preparedEvelina Kutlinskaya, Ludwig Syanozhensky, Asya KhlopovaiEkaterina Romodina(also the fourth course of this direction).
The concept of the aerodrome “Sivoritsy” was developed by a second-year student in the field of “Architecture”Vsevolod Zavyalov.
Representatives of DOSAAF Russia highly appreciated the level of student work and emphasized the importance of youth participation in the development of modern infrastructure solutions.

DOSAAF representatives invited our trainees to the aerodromes of the organization, where the kids will be able to get acquainted with the aviation infrastructure and use gift certificates: to make a parachute jump, a flight on a paraglider, or an introductory flight with a pilot.
Marina MalyutinaAt the meeting, she noted the prospects of interdisciplinary project interaction between the university and DOSAAF Russia. According to her, students from various faculties of SPbGASU can participate in such a project – architectural, construction, automotive-road, faculty of environmental engineering and urban economy, as well as economic training programs.
“Project-based learning involves combining students with different competencies. This allows not only developing concepts but also performing engineering calculations, modeling, economic evaluation, and comprehensive project elaboration,” emphasized the vice-rector for youth policy.
The parties agreed on further cooperation, in particular on the development of unmanned technologies, in sports, tourism, and military-patriotic education. In addition, representatives of DOSAAF expressed interest in continuing joint work with students of SPbGASU and proposed organizing a new competition: for the development of the concept of a sports motor racing track.
