Metropolis: the ArhInj workshop was created by the winners of the CASE-IN championship

The Metropolis Company continues to contribute contribute to the sustainable development of the industry and set trends in the field of corporate social responsibility. A striking example was the architectural and engineering workshop "ArhInj", which took place from July 19 to 29, 2025 in the Tver region on the territory of the Volga recreation center of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

The workshop was created by a group of students from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and MGSU. The creators and participants of the project are winners and active participants of the International Engineering CASE—IN Championship, of which Metropolis is a strategic partner.

The workshop, implemented as part of the Summer School project, brought together 56 participants from 9 cities. Among the participants were students of architectural, engineering and construction fields, young professionals and high school students interested in architecture and urban studies.

The design track was focused on developing engineering intuition. The participants developed bridge structures, calculated models, printed models on a 3D printer, tested them for destruction and analyzed the results, achieving the best ratio of mass and strength.

The architectural track offered the creation of art object layouts reflecting the identity of the chosen city. The participants conveyed cultural and spatial features through form, material and image.

The school department was focused on high school students who were developing a conceptual layout for the transformation of the urban environment. The project was addressed to the administration of the city of Dubna.

This year, the ARCHINJ educational program has become three times more extensive, the number of lectures and the team of lecturers have significantly increased. Leading industry experts joined the event. Metropolis has become a strategic partner of the workshop, and its employees have been conducting lectures and workshops for the second year in a row.

Initiatives like Archinge are part of a well—thought-out strategy to attract young talent. By supporting educational projects, Metropolis helps bridge the gap between academic education and the real demands of business and creates opportunities for the development of future industry leaders.
