HOUSING by RE:Ukraine

OVERVIEW:

RE:Ukraine Housing is a temporary housing system for internally displaced persons designed to help them adapt, socialise and reintegrate

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Team have analyzed world practice in developing, constructing, and maintaining such settlements. As a result, they developed a system of values to ensure temporary but dignified living for Ukrainians and now are working on the pilot project implementation for 15 families in Bucha district.

Using the pilot example, team will get hands-on feedback: will monitor how residents interact with the space and process their feedback to optimise future RE: Ukraine Housing settlements. The pilot will also help test various materials and technologies and find the best option in terms of time, labor costs, and energy efficiency.

ADDITIONAL INFO: Although this project was developed as a response to russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, team believes it can benefit other countries, too, such as for the temporary resettlement of victims of natural disasters. Fellow architects from different countries could help RE:Ukraine Housing go global and adapt the project's planning solution in compliance with local building standards and regulations.
