The workshop participants decided to abandon the classic format of public debate and tried to express clearly their vision of urban problems in the architectural and cultural sphere. To do this, they portrayed them manually on t-shirts.
 
"T-shirt is a part of everyday wardrobe; it is something that people constantly see on each other. Therefore, it is a good way to convey our thoughts to them through creativity and non-verbal communication, thereby improving the city life," says Tatiana Adamenko, a student at the  Design of urban ecosystems master's program  of the ITMO University Urban Transformation School.
 
As it turned out, many of visualized problems were similar: for example, preserving the city's historic features while considering modern needs and urban global trends.
 
"One of the main issues today is whether modern architecture can become a reflection of the spirit and character of our time? We tried to imagine what could be in the future. It’s not only about the architecture or urbanism: popular social ideas may one day become a legacy. And what would that be? A selfie monument? "
 
T-shirts created by students will act as art objects in the Biennale, which will take place from 6 to 15 of February in the Indian city of Pune.
 
"Pune Biennale is a huge event, organized by the city administration together with the Bharati Vidyapeeth University. We, together with our Indian colleagues, will present our art objects, describe how we made them, and hold the round table. We think this may be the first steps for further interaction with the Bharati Vidyapeeth University. We would like our universities students to work on joint projects in the future," Tatiana Adamenko sums up.
