The professional development program “Architects.rf”, launched in 2018 on behalf of the President, is being implemented by “DOM.RF” with the support of the Government and the Ministry of Construction of Russia. Since 2025, it has become part of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”. On April 28, the selection stage for the new stream began, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“The President has set ambitious goals for the construction industry – not just to build a lot, but to do it well, with soul, creating a comfortable and beautiful environment for people to live in. Architecture is the face of our communities, and it is important that talented, courageous specialists who are able to combine functionality, aesthetics and modern technologies work in the country. The Architects.rf program helps to form a new generation of professionals who will change the face of Russia for the better. Today, about half of the graduates of previous streams work in government agencies and subordinate organizations. Applications for the seventh stream will be accepted until May 18. 100 specialists from different regions of Russia will again become participants in the program,” said Marat Khusnullin.
Not only qualified architects and urban planners, but also sociologists, ecologists, geographers, cultural scientists, political scientists, economists, anthropologists, lawyers and specialists in the field of tourism and communications are invited to participate in the competitive selection.
“Over the past six years, the Architects.rf program has united more than 600 professionals working on the development of Russian cities – architects, urbanists, sociologists – all those who thoughtfully create a high-quality and modern urban environment for the residents of our country and future generations. By decision of the President, the deficit of specialists who are tasked with implementing strategies for the development of cities and agglomerations is being filled. Today, Architects.rf is both a platform for career growth and a springboard for realizing the ambitions of city managers, urban planners, and urbanists. Together, they are creating a new architectural culture for Russia while preserving the heritage of the past. Our educational program is an important tool for the high-quality and long-term development of territories: from dynamic megacities to small villages in the Far North,” said Vitaly Mutko, CEO of DOM.RF.
At the first stage of the competitive selection, candidates will need to fill out a questionnaire and send a professional portfolio. Successful contestants will be offered a video interview. The final stage of the selection will be a meeting of the expert commission, which will determine the composition of the seventh stream of the leadership program.
The finalists will undergo an educational program lasting approximately eight months, consisting of four full-time modules. It includes various training formats, including research trips around Russia and abroad, lectures, meetings with experts, and work in project groups. The students of the program will become part of a professional interdisciplinary community of graduates.
