Unfortunately, the world's conflicts are not just a problem of the past. Even today, in Europe too, many areas are facing the same problems as the victims of 1944: temporary buildings, reconstruction plans, the place of the inhabitants... How is the contemporary world coping? Ukrainian architects Balbek Bureau have come up with some answers in a country still reeling from destruction. The first is the use of digital technology to photograph, compile and supply the knowledge, data and plans needed for reconstruction. They have also taken into account the mental and physical health of residents in the design of new residential areas, including communal spaces. Their action underlines the important role of architecture and architects in recreating a dignified and comfortable home, in order to work towards the healing of a people and the recovery of a country.
