Ukrainian-French charity organization helping rebuild Ukrainian cities and communities affected by the war.Founded in 2022 by French architect Martin Duplantier in response to Russian aggression and the urgent need for recovery efforts. Our team is based in Ukraine, in Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa, and led by its director Andrii Shtendera.
CONTEXT first. Architecture is a cultural medium, even more in war time.
PARTNERSHIPS with local stakeholders and communities : for and with Ukrainians.
TEMPORALITIES : Long term Solutions vs. Temporary Waste. We want to reconnect short term emergencies with long term needs.
Local and Natural RESOURCES as a long term leverage.
INNOVATION is the key to critical situations.
INCLUSIVITY : Social Impact, addressing different audiences.
ADVOCACY : trying to make Ukraine a better place requires a renewed legal framework, but also international partners, and good practices.
EDUCATION : teaching is part of our mission. Sharing our experience and organizing events and workshops among a broader audience participates in making architecture a common issue.
