The results of the sketch project competition were summarized in Kostanay, which involved 3rd and 4th-year students of the Kostanay Construction College. The competition aimed to support the creative and professional potential of future specialists in the fields of architecture, construction, and design.

Participants were tasked with developing conceptual solutions for real urban spaces. This format allowed students to go beyond the academic curriculum and apply their acquired knowledge in practice by proposing ideas for urban environment development.

Projects in several areas were presented as part of the competition. One of them was the creation of an eco-quarter — a concept for improving a site at the intersection of Abay Avenue and Baimagambetov Street. Students proposed options for transforming the area into a modern public space with a square and elements of ecological improvement.

Participants also presented developments in the field of smart urbanism. The projects involved creating small architectural forms using modern technologies, as well as navigation systems for more comfortable orientation in the urban environment.

A separate area of the competition was dedicated to conceptual ideas for integrating residential complexes with social facilities and implementing environmental solutions into urban infrastructure.

The submitted works were evaluated by a jury, which included specialists in urban planning and architecture. Experts noted the high level of student preparation, the originality of ideas, and the practical orientation of the projects.
