Ukraine’s urban areas have faced unprecedented challenges, and there’s a pressing need for reconstruction that is not only swift but also sustainable. Our mission is to integrate eco-friendly, durable, and energy-efficient building practices into the rebuilding process, utilizing our innovative straw panel technology.
The Launch of the Initiative at Architectural Practice
2023, Kyiv, Ukraine
Scope Definition: Establish clear objectives, focusing on sustainable construction in Ukrainian municipalities using eco-technology and biomaterials. Stakeholder Identification: Engage key stakeholders including municipalities, government entities, experts, sponsors, and companies.
Project Breakdown: Organize the initiative into three main areas: industrial parks with eco-housing, rehabilitation centers, and educational/cultural facilities. Resource Allocation: Strategically allocate resources for each urban hackathon, covering technical tasks, expert involvement, and materials. Municipality Selection: Select municipalities based on applications and feasibility for each thematic hackathon.
Technical Task Preparation: Work closely with municipalities to finalize project details, including site selection and specific requirements. Participant Engagement: Recruit and involve multidisciplinary teams for the urban hackathons. Urban Hackathons: Facilitate hackathons for each theme, featuring expert guidance, public discussions, and the development of comprehensive project solutions.
Quality Assurance: Ensure adherence to green building standards and sustainable construction practices. Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential project risks.
Solution Selection: Jury evaluates and selects the best solutions from the hackathons for implementation. Documentation: Compile project documents including designs, plans, and stakeholder feedback. Evaluation: Assess the effectiveness of the hackathons in achieving the project goals.
Project Kick-off: Begin the construction or reconstruction of municipal projects as per the chosen solutions. Supervision and Coordination: Oversee construction activities, ensuring eco-sustainable objectives are met within set timelines. Stakeholder Engagement: Maintain continuous interaction with municipalities, sponsors, and local communities.
Impact Assessment: Evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the projects. Lessons Learned: Document insights and improvements for future projects. Dissemination: Share success stories and knowledge to promote eco-sustainable construction practices.
Scaling Up: Plan for extending the initiative to additional municipalities based on the success of pilot projects.
Replication Model: Develop a model for replicating similar projects in other regions of Ukraine and potentially in other countries.
