The devastation caused by the war in Ukraine is enormous, and so is the reconstruction work ahead. When the war eventually ends, the work of rebuilding the country will begin, which is expected to have a very large climate footprint unless there is a focus on climate-friendly construction.
In this project, Architects Without Borders introduces the fully certified and bio-based building system EcoCocon to the Ukrainian market to demonstrate that environmentally friendly building methods exist and can be used in line with conventional cement-based and highly CO2 emitting building materials. In doing so, we want to show concrete ways in which Ukraine’s own visions of zero-carbon construction and rational design can be realized.
The pilot-project is realised in collaboration with local authorities and other stakeholders, including Ukrainian architects in both Ukraine and Denmark.
We also refer to this article in Politiken about the project.
The project is funded by Dreyers Fond.
