CASE-IN and Metropolis: great prospects for future builders, architects and designers

The Metropolis company and the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship announce the start of registration of participants for the direction "Architecture, design, construction and housing and communal services". Students of Russia's leading specialized universities will once again be able to master valuable professional competencies by solving interesting multi-level tasks. The authors of the best solutions will have the opportunity to complete an internship and join the team of a leading architectural and construction design company in Russia.

For the third year in a row, Metropolis has been a key partner of the championship and is developing the architectural and construction design direction. Talented students participating in the competition are working on a real-world case involving the development of a concept for objects of various functional purposes.

Since 2024, the direction has been supported by the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation, including it in the Action Plan (roadmap) to increase the prestige and demand for professions related to architecture and construction, as well as accelerated involvement of students in production processes.

Metropolis is a modern company that develops high-tech jobs, offers decent pay and is interested in training highly qualified personnel. The company identifies talented students who may become part of the team in the future even at the study stage.

In 2025, the qualifying stages will be held at universities in 17 Russian cities.: These are Astrakhan, Voronezh, Izhevsk, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Penza, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, St. Petersburg, Saratov, Sevastopol, Tomsk, Khabarovsk, Chelyabinsk.

Having joined teams, the participants will develop a project of a hotel and tourist complex with an area of 13.59 hectares in the coastal zone of the river. The contestants' project will include a comprehensive concept for the construction of a new 4-star hotel main building with 80 rooms and the development of an album of design solutions.

Working on the assignment will help future designers develop professional and "soft" skills, prepare for working conditions in a real design organization, and establish themselves in front of the largest employer in the field of architectural and construction design.

Metropolis specialists will act as consultants to the teams in the process of working on the project and will evaluate them as experts of the jury. The authors of the best solutions will have the opportunity to defend their work in the final of the CASE-IN championship, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025.

The finalists will talk about innovative projects to the industry community, will be able to establish professional contacts with participants of various leagues of the championship and will receive feedback from professionals on further refinement and implementation of their solutions.

The champions and prize-winners of the Architecture, Design, Construction and Housing and Communal Services direction are waiting for an invitation to an internship at the Metropolis company, where they will be able to prove themselves. Students who have proven themselves during the internship will be able to become part of a large professional team at Metropolis.   

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are Reliable Change Foundation, Non-profit partnership "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders", LLC "AstraLogica" and The presidential platform "Russia — the land of opportunities". The championship is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.
