The festival’s highest award, the Grand Prix, was given to ATRIUM for the Mayak Adaptation Centre for Deafblind Young People. The completed building is designed to prepare young people aged 18–25 for adult life. To support this, the architects created a special system of spaces with a branching network of routes and obstacles, helping the centre’s residents learn how to navigate the city.

The Sirius Educational Complex received a Gold Diploma, once again confirming the project’s ambition to become the best school in the country. It is a true “city within a city”, designed using advanced pedagogical concepts, sustainable solutions and tools for creating urban communities.

The Educational Complex in Astana received a Silver Diploma. The project has become one of the most contemporary educational platforms in Kazakhstan. The architects created a rich learning environment and connected its aesthetic language with the traditions of local culture.

The work on all these projects helped shape a specific design methodology, which can support the creation of a new quality of educational environment in schools across Russia and beyond.

The full list of winners of the competition programme is available on the website of the Moscow Union of Architects.
