YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS. At the international MEDS (Meeting of Design Students) workshop hosted in Gyumri, over ten projects were created for the city of arts and crafts. The 13th in history workshop brought together 150 architecture and design professionals from 28 countries to work on diverse projects encompassing modest architectural structures, urban installations, and other creative pursuits.

The PROFAL GROUP, a leading manufacturer of aluminum doors, windows, and glass constructions in Armenia, supported the “Reflection of Infinity” project by Alberto Collet and Daniele Meloni as part of its social responsibility programs. Specialists from Armenia, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Russia, Ireland, Egypt, India, and Turkey have united their efforts to create this piece of art.

Alberto Collet, making his first visit to Armenia, yet well-acquainted with our nation through his Armenian friends, said, "MEDS presents a unique platform for collaboration, wherein professionals from various cultures and perspectives get a chance to exchange ideas and work on the same project. The project that we successfully implemented is a landmark covered with a reflective surface that frames nature by creating an amazing masterpiece.”

"Reflection of Infinity '' was installed in the area adjacent to the Mother Armenia monument in Gyumri, which, according to the project's author, will capture the attention and arouse the curiosity of anyone be it citizens or visitors of Gyumri.

Edgar Avetisyan, the Chief Executive Officer of PROFAL GROUP, underscored the company's ongoing commitment to supporting such initiatives that foster international collaborations. “We firmly believe that design is the language that speaks to our emotions and connects people across cultures and boundaries. And we are delighted to support one of the projects carried out by young and talented professionals worldwide. And what is the most important, PROFAL consistently seizes every occasion to make substantive contributions to the community development of Armenia”, said Edgar Avetisyan.

The MEDS Gyumri workshop spanned from August 6-20, during which the contributors of the "Reflection of Infinity" project were hosted by PROFAL. Edgar Avetisyan welcomed the guests, providing insight into the company's trajectory, its achievements, and its ambitious forthcoming ventures. The participants toured the company's facilities encompassing aluminum, glass, and furniture workshops, thereby gaining insight into the entire production workflow. The guests also visited the O₂ Gardens, PROFAL's new project of landscape design, which was a profoundly impressive experience.
