30 HEIGHTS

I propose «30 HEIGHTS»: 30 straight metal lines form an ascending architectural shape. Each line represents a year of development for the HSE Nizhny Novgorod campus; together they create a unified image of growth and collective achievement.The idea originated from the principle of Vladimir Shukhov’s hyperboloid tower, which was presented in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896. In 2026, this event will mark 130 years, and the campus will celebrate its 30th anniversary. I connect these histories through geometry, without copying the historical tower.The deep blue body, copper-bronze lines, and interchangeable engraving plate for names give the award its distinct character. The concept, object visualization, and preliminary 3D model are presented.
