Urals Academy of Architecture (Ural State Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture; Russian: Уральская государственная архитектурно-художественная академия, often abbreviated USAAA or in Russian УрГАХА) is situated in Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation.[1] It was founded in 1947 as a department of architecture at the Ural State Technical University. Later, in 1967, it was reorganized and became a branch of the Moscow Institute of Architecture which later became an independent school of architecture originally named Sverdlovsk Institute of Architecture.
It is one of the most prestigious schools of design and architecture in Russia. The Academy has twenty chairs, six departments and two institutes (Institute of Visual Arts and Institute of Urbanism). Since 1992 the Academy publishes a science journal Archiecton: izvestiya vuzov ("Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education").[2]
