The Faculty of Architecture and Design was established in 2002. The necessity of its creation was dictated by the demand in the labour market of our region for specialists in the field of design, architecture and fashion industry, offering the latest developments in design and fashion design, architecture, industrial design, polygraphy, animation.
We are one of the leading institutions teaching architecture, design and costume design in the tradition of the professional school. The teaching system is based on a close connection between the latest technologies of the computer world, fine arts and crafts.
The main principle of the Faculty is not only to educate designers who are trained to work with modern computer and industrial equipment, but also to train specialists who are able to integrate into the modern Russian and world market of design, fashion and architectural services.
For 20 years the faculty has been creating such a structure of students’ education, which has allowed Kuban State University to become one of the best creative schools of the Southern Federal District. The faculty has the best teachers — masters whose work is recognised in official and underground circles. Combined with a strong resource base and really talented students, the result of their work is recognised and, above all, highly sought-after work in the fields of costume design and architecture.
«The main principle of the faculty lies not only in education of planners and designers trained to work with modern computer and industrial equipment, but also in providing training for specialists who are able to organically integrate into the modern Russian and global market of a wide range of design and architectural services.»
Dean of the Faculty of Management and Psychology — Olga Zimina, Candidate of Pedagogics, Associate Professor.
