Steel Freedom competition in Ukraine

The slogan of this competition is Feel Freedom in Architecture! There are two categories. The first one is to reconstruct a complex of buildings for a Class A office center in the historical part of Podol at the intersection of Bratskaya and Igorevskaya streets (Kiev) with an architectural monument. The second one is the creation of a concept of the public building project on the avenue Goloseevsky, 116 in Goloseevsky district, Kiev.

Trimble has supported the Steel Freedom student contest since 2015. Observing the dynamics of development, it is clear that the energy comes from the students and their desire to be better - to move forward. Trimble Solutions Russia & CIS together with the local representative in Ukraine - Arcada, follows the progress of the jubilee contest and we are ready to help all active students.

The Steel Freedom 2018 5th National Architectural Student Competition opened on 1 September and is currently rolling forward with all planned sessions.

During the meetings, more detail on how to start using Tekla Campus and how to use this tool to prepare projects will be demonstrated for participation in the Steel Freedom competition.

Those participating students who will follow criteria for selection of final works, as a design representation of the steel load-bearing structures of the frame with the help of the free Tekla Campus tool will receive prizes from Trimble.
