👉 Antrosios diskusijos „Prieš akis kuriama istorija: karo padariniai Ukrainos architektūrai“ metu, savo įžvalgomis dalinsis Eglė Kliučinskaitė – architektė, Rebuild The Wonderful komandos narė.

💬 „Istorija kuriama kasdien, deja, karo situacija neleidžia rinktis, kaip ir ką keisti fizinėje erdvėje – žmonės ir miestai tampa įkaitais. Tačiau Ukrainos planuojamos iniciatyvos, susitelkimas ir platus požiūris – noras integruoti geriausias praktikas – kvietimas Europos profesionalams vystyti miestų atstatymo idėjas – rodo aiškią ir perspektyvią valstybės kryptį“, – dalijasi Eglė.

🇺🇦🇱🇹🇪🇪🇭🇺
Yesterday was a historic event, and we are proud to be part of it!

Ukraine, fighting for its freedom, is embarking on something that no other Eastern or Central European country has done in the past three decades - it is the first to systematically transform Soviet-era school buildings. For this, it has enlisted us - Rebuild the Wonderful.

Yesterday in Kyiv, three architectural teams from Lithuania, Estonia, and Hungary, together with the implementing partner Big City Lab, presented transformation projects for five typical Ukrainian schools to Ukrainian leaders and the public.

Based on these five transformation projects for typical Soviet schools, up to 134 war-affected schools can be renovated, with the potential to expand the transformation to hundreds of other schools across Ukraine. The transformation involves reimagining old, dark, single-function Soviet school spaces into open, modern, community-focused environments, guided by 12 newly developed principles for school building transformation. This approach is cheaper, faster, and more sustainable than building new schools.

We are inspired by Ukraine's vision for its future and the importance it places on education. The initiative, supported by President Володимир Зеленський Zelensky and led by Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, aims to align Ukraine's educational spaces with modern, value-based requirements, preparing for a future after victory.

According to Gilma Teodora Gylytė, founder of Rebuild the Wonderful and founding partner at Do Architects, Ukraine recognizes that transforming its education system is essential for its victory, hence the need to change not only the content but also the architecture.

The school transformation projects were created by three architectural teams under the Rebuild the Wonderful umbrella: DO ARCHITECTS from Lithuania, led by Gilma Teodora Gylytė and Vadim Babij, KavaKava from Estonia, led by Siiri Vallner, and Archikon from Hungary, led by Csaba Nagy. Adaptation of projects to Ukrainian state building norms is carried out by Ukrainian architects from architectural bureaus Oksa, Peker and partners, Kumeiko Architects.

The development of architectural transformation projects for schools is being implemented by the Ministry of Education and Science (minister Оксен Лісовий) with the support of Метінвест and Група ДТЕК, based on concepts developed by Mariupol Reborn / Маріуполь Реборн in collaboration with the executive partner Big City Lab (Victoria Titova and Max Yakover) and the Lithuanian architectural NGO Rebuild The Wonderful, at the initiative of the Vice Prime Minister-Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development - Minister of Digital Transformation Михайло Федоров.

Soviet architectural propaganda affects us daily.

The Soviet Union's occupation brought socialist ideology and a desire to equalize all people to nearly half of Europe. The years of occupation left an undeniable impact on the spatial planning of cities. Most importantly, socialist ideology was implemented in the built environment, shaping people's behavior. The Soviet Union collapsed, but its architectural propaganda remains, continuing to influence a large portion of Europe's population every day.

Rebuild the Wonderful is an initiative uniting architects, urban planners, and sociologists who aim to change the current environment that programs antihuman values. The goal of the initiative is to promote human-centric transformations of the socialist inheritance and to redesign public buildings and spaces of former socialist states, not by rejecting their existence but by creating new value for people.
