On November 11, KazGASA hosted the opening ceremony of a design competition for the development of a design concept for Specialized Classroom No. 501. The competition is organized in collaboration with GSLeader and the Tikkurila brand in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the School of Design.

The initiative aims to foster students’ creative potential, enhance their professional skills, and contribute to the development of a modern educational environment.

During the event, participants were introduced to the competition’s main objectives, requirements, and opportunities. A lecture entitled “Tikkurila: Paint Innovations and the Development of Professional Environments” was also held, providing insights into modern finishing materials, innovative solutions, and their application in the field of design.

The competition offers students an opportunity to bring their ideas to life through practical projects, showcase their creative vision and professional competencies, and contribute to the renewal of the Academy’s educational spaces.

Initiatives of this kind bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical experience, supporting the professional development of future designers. Collaboration with industry representatives also allows students to explore contemporary design trends and put their ideas into practice.
