The destruction of the built environment in Ukraine is enormous, and so will the coming reconstruction be. When the war eventually stops, the reconstruction of Ukrainian towns and cities begins. But if the usual construction methods are applied, it will also lead to a very big climate-impact through large Co2-emissions.
In this project, Architects Without Borders introduces the fully certified, bio-based construction system EcoCocon to the Ukrainian market, to show that environmentally friendly construction methods can be used on par with conventional cement-based and highly Co2-emitting materials. And to showcase ways to realise Ukraine’s own visions for a zero-carbon construction sector.
The pilot-project is realised in collaboration with local authorities and other stakeholders, including Ukrainian architects in both Ukraine and Denmark.
The project is funded by Dreyers Fond.
