‘Zhivaya Volga’ focuses on finding solutions to the pollution of the river. Moscow Poly students chose ‘Hydroponics-based Vertical Farms’ as their project. ‘Zhabky’ suggested planting aquantic trees on the banks of the river such as alder trees, willows, and water hyacinth. These plants are able to absorb harmful substances that make their way to the river from agricultural industrial objects.

According to the supervisor, Yulia Kudryavtseva, the application of such pedagogical practices makes a fine instrument for training future specialists that won`t only have to master the necessary technologies but also possess creative skills, visual and flexible thinking, intuition and be able to quickly adapt to the changing conditions.

“The Green Design is an art of creating design objects that do not disturb the balance in the environment, society and economics. When used appropriately eco-design may have a positive impact on the ‘nature-human’ system, thus creating more effective and harmonious units”, - shared the supervisor.
