Faith in Porechye

The students developed the urban development strategy for the Porechye-Rybnoe village in Yaroslavl Oblast. The House of Mercy named after blacksmith Lobov has been operating here since 2018 and curated by the hospice aid fund 'Vera' ('Faith'). The fund plans to carry out volunteering, educational, and cultural projects that will eventually attract more visitors to the village. The team conducted the research and designed the development concept based on four local values: architecture, gardening, house of mercy, and nature.
