COMPETITION ORGANISERS

Buildner, in collaboration with the Norman Foster Foundation, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), ARUP, and the Kharkiv City Council, has launched an architecture competition in Kharkiv, Ukraine. This competition addresses the urgent need for reconstruction in the city, which is located near the Russian border and has been significantly impacted by the ongoing conflict.

Participants have the chance to see their designs realized, with winning projects being developed into detailed construction plans in collaboration with local teams. This initiative not only aims to repair but also to improve living conditions, offering a unique opportunity to positively impact Kharkiv’s future resilience and quality of life.
