On September 30, the VI Rakhmanov Readings will be held at the Architect's House in St. Petersburg. The theme of the scientific and technical conference is “Architect-restorer and engineer - colleagues or rivals?”

The restoration of architectural monuments is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary art that encourages all participants in the process to expand the scope of their specialization and knowledge to the extent necessary for the monument. In the interests of the monument, the specialist must grow to the level of an architect, who combines many specialties. Vladimir Stepanovich Rakhmanov often said that when working with a monument, he felt like an architect of that time. Are we—architects, designers, and engineering communications specialists—ready to work together in a coordinated manner in the interests of the monument? This will be discussed at the Rakhmanov Readings.
