emphasizes the relevance of the evolution of the concept of sustainable development, and contributes to its creative comprehension. As part of this nomination, contestants are encouraged to develop designs of environmental installations, literally or conceptually expressing the idea of transforming the model of consumer behavior (or consumption) of people, and forming their environment, taking into consideration the basic aspects of sustainable development (SD):
· Minimize the waste created from human activities, including reuse and recycling;
· Saving of natural resources, including water, etc.;
· Revitalization of facilities / environment, “a new life – a new feature”;
· Combining functions, joint use / “sharing”, exchanging;
· Conservation of resources, materials, landscape, environment;
· Consumption ecologies, behavior – use.

Eco_LAB structure of the educational program:
1. Block session “NEW REALITY”: lecture part will focus on the concept of sustainable development and the post-industrial society (NAUR). It is aimed at achieving a systemic view of the processes occurring today, involving the transition of humankind from the industrial to the post-industrial age, and global challenges that our civilization will face in the 21st century. As a possible response to these challenges, discussed in detail will be the concept of sustainable development, the process of greening of the world economy, and the impact of these trends on the fundamental restructuring of the entire construction industry.
2. Block-session “DIALOGUE WITH THE LEADERS”: a master class held by some of the leading green architects of Russia. It is aimed at deepening the individual’s understanding of how the transition to an ecological paradigm affects the architectural business. What are the risks and what are the new business opportunities that are opening up, as well as how to take maximum advantage of them during the birth of a new market. This session is conducted in the format of a master class and active dialogue with one of the Russian leaders in eco-architecture, who were the first to use the green trend as a business model, and to date have completed projects in this segment, with these cases also being presented as part of the teaching program.
3. Block session “ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION”: events of various formats for the development of specific solutions and green technologies. This session is aimed at the practical development of specific green materials and technologies available today for use in Russia. This unit is very important for architects and designers, because an indispensable foundation for the competitiveness of any modern specialist – is the knowledge of innovative materials and technologies, most of which are quite difficult to understand and grasp, and which are being developed ever more rapidly today. A detailed program of events will be posted in the public domain starting on April 20, 2016.
