On February 25, 2025, as part of the Project Days at the State University of Management, a meeting was held between students and the famous architect Najmus Chowdhry, founder of the ZneraSpaceLab architectural bureau located in Dubai.
The architect spoke about the projects implemented by his bureau. Thus, in 2018, together with the Znera Space team, the Smog Project was developed – a network of filter towers for air purification in Delhi. Each tower was to be 100 meters high and generate a volume of semi-clean air that would spread over two kilometers.
Najmus Chowdhry was also involved in the creation of the concept of the Downtown Circle, a spherical megastructure that will surround the Burj Khalifa tower in the center of Dubai. The ring, 550 meters high, located on five pillars, is planned to have a circumference of three kilometers. It will house residential, public, commercial and cultural spaces.
The meeting was organized by the General Director of the architectural bureau DOITPROJECT and co-founder of the brand PATRIKI_20 Olga Shibkova and the head of the project and educational laboratory of urban development of the State University of Management Irina Milkina. Communication with the famous architect is aimed at transferring practical experience and inspiring students to create sustainable projects.
Students from GUU and MSTU-MASI who took part in the meeting asked questions about the image of the city of the future, the significance of the bureau’s work, and the necessary skills for a modern architect.
The guest advised students to develop their observation skills and always analyze what competitors are doing and form their own opinion. In the future, this will help to do something new and innovative. The architect also noted that a professional should have equal qualities such as productivity and creativity so that the idea does not remain unimplemented.
MSTU-MASI student Stepan Bosalygo asked the guest how he sees his projects in the future. Nadjmus Chowdhry replied that when developing projects, it is necessary to take into account the context of the objects that are nearby – their culture, heritage, in order to fit the object into the culture of the nation.
As a memento of his visit to the State University of Management, the architect was presented with souvenirs with the university’s symbols and a group photo was taken with all the participants.
1st year student of the State University of Management Maria Naumocheva shared her impressions of the meeting: “I was very interested in the project called “The Breeze Tower” – Wind Tower. Quite an interesting idea to introduce a vertical garden into part of the building. It was also interesting that instead of windows there is a net, thanks to which the breeze blows into the tower and cools the air.”
