Attention to all students and architects of Ukraine - the Building Back Better workshop is back! In January 2025, a two-week international workshop will start, bringing together students from all over Ukraine and Europe to work together in parallel with international experts in design studios in Lviv and Warsaw. This year's workshop will focus on Odesa and will bring together a powerful international community to develop proposals that will be featured as part of an exhibition in Kyiv and the French Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2025! This workshop is a pilot version of the new KhSA Master's program and your opportunity to test drive the program. In addition, if you are planning to enroll in the MA, participation in the workshop will give you a 15% discount on tuition. The first workshop already took place last winter, where 30 participants in Lviv and 30 participants in Warsaw worked on researching the city of Dnipro at 4 scales: river, city, district, and home. The workshop ended with an exhibition that later traveled to Kyiv. Participation in the workshop is free thanks to our supporters.

The Kharkiv School of Architecture is joining the testing of recommendations for the holistic renovation of Soviet mass housing developed by Lithuanian partners as part of the international project U-RE-HERIT. This semester, as part of the elective course “Neighborhood Theory and Its (Un)Death,” students will study a selected residential neighborhood and reflect on the validity of the proposed recommendations for its renovation, and in the spring semester, 4th year students will develop experimental projects of multi-family housing integrated into the structure of existing neighborhoods, testing the developed recommendations in practice. This initiative is part of the broader mission of the School of Architecture to rethink architectural heritage and develop modern educational programs for a critical approach to its preservation. Teacher of an elective course: Oleksandr Anisimov International project “UREHERIT. Architects for Heritage in Ukraine: Recreating Identity and Memory” UREHERIT is co-funded by the European Union's Creative Europe program.

Kharkiv School of Architecture, together with The Heritage Management Organization (HERITΛGE) and Skeiron, is pleased to announce a new training course for teachers and PhD students as part of the two-year project "Preserving Architectural Heritage in Wartime: The Ukrainian Model." Over the next five months, this course will bring educators and emerging researchers together to explore essential skills for protecting, documenting, and conserving Ukraine's architectural heritage, especially during and after the war. Participants will dive into topics like 3D documentation, heritage analysis, conservation planning, and much more, guided by top experts in the field, that will allow participants to develop and implement relevant courses in the programs of their higher education institutions. We’re thrilled to share this knowledge with those who will pass it on to the next generation of architects and conservationists.
