The grand opening of the VII Youth Forum “Heritage”, organized by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the City of Moscow, took place on September 28 at the “Youth of Moscow” site. The opening ceremony was attended by students from the State University of Management, the Higher School of Economics, Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Moscow University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation and others. SUM was represented by 3rd and 4th year students of the “Urban Studies and City Management” program.
The forum was opened by the head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage, Alexey Yemelyanov: “This year, a record number of students are participating in the competition program of the VII Youth Forum “Heritage” — more than 300. The number of universities has also increased — from 23 in 2023 to 28 now. Over the past two years, the guys have been working on restoration and adaptation projects for Moscow estates, and now they will have to prepare a concept for including a constructivist monument — the Palace of Culture of the “Serp i Molot” plant — into the life of a modern metropolis.”
Participants were drawn and divided into interdisciplinary teams. The teams consist of specialists in architecture, restoration, urban studies, sociology, management, economics, law, design, IT and PR.
In two months, the Forum participants will have to prepare a restoration project for the Hammer and Sickle Palace of Culture by architects Ignatius Milinis and Aleksandr Vilesov. The 1930 constructivist building is located in the Tagansky District of Moscow and is a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
From October 5 to 7, a tour of the site was organized for each team, where the participants were able to become familiar with the history of the place in detail, discuss the further work plan of each specialist, and develop a concept for including the site in the life of the city.
The defense of the finished projects will take place on November 22. At the defense, the jury will evaluate the work done by the participants and select the best projects for the restoration and adaptation of the cultural heritage site.
Also, within the framework of the Forum, the organizers will hold educational events for participants: lectures, master classes, excursions to restoration workshops, workshops and job fairs.
Comments from participants:
Alexandra Nenarokomova, 3rd year student: “I have been participating in the project for the third year now, and I can say that for me this is an opportunity to demonstrate my professional skills, meet specialists in my field, and learn something new about my city.”
Anastasia Kupreeva, 3rd year student: “I am glad to take part in the Forum this year. We will have to work with a unique object and improve the existing concept.”
Vladislav Zelensky, 4th-year student: “This year, for the first time, we will be able to work with a Soviet-era monument, which is pleasing and creates additional interest in the forum. In the past two years, as part of this event, my teams and I worked on pre-revolutionary buildings, which had more design restrictions.”
