05.29.2026 a public presentation of student projects dedicated to the future development of the community was held in Makarov. Students and teachers from 5 universities joined the project: Kyiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (Faculty of Architecture: Department of Information Technologies in Architecture; Architectural Design of Civil Buildings and Structures, Faculty of Engineering Systems and Ecology: Department of Water Supply and Sewerage); Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Department of Economic and Social Geography); Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy named after O.M. Beketov (BIM Unit workshop); University of Texas at Austin (USA); Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe (Detmold, Germany). The projects were developed by five teams in close cooperation between students from different universities. They covered spatial planning, urban design, architecture and engineering solutions with different levels of detail - from 2D schemes to 3D models (LOD 100–200). The project included the analysis of the transport system and the creation of a logistics hub, the renovation of residential buildings, the design of a junior school, open public spaces and a network of shelters using energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions, and the design of public transport stops.

From KNUBA, the project was curated by candidates of architecture, associate professor Oleksiy Levchenko and senior lecturer Nadiya Antonenko. Students of the Faculty of Architecture and the Specialization in Construction and Architectural Modeling, VIM Process Management, opened within the framework of the international project The Bridge, took part in the work.

The joint work of future specialists of various profiles on real projects became possible thanks to the development and implementation of VIM technologies in training at KNUBA, which are gradually becoming an integral part of modern construction projects. The design was carried out in a cloud environment (Common Data Environment (CDE)), which forms unique competencies in applicants through the experience of working together and participating in the management of virtual construction projects.

The development of architectural projects will continue in the next semester (LOD 300).
