In our collaborative project aimed at the green and healthy recovery of Ukraine and Ukrainians, we are guided by the following key ideas:
- Project Goal: To create affordable housing with adaptive and inclusive layouts that meet European and international standards for 2030, focusing on people’s health, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
- Neuroarchitecture: By incorporating principles of neuroarchitecture, we aim to design spaces that facilitate the rapid physical and mental recovery of residents living in these homes.
- Modular Green Roofs: These roofs will help combat climate change, manage extreme rainfall, mitigate summer overheating, and collect water for household use.
- Bio-Based Building Solutions: Incorporating bio-based solutions in the building envelope will achieve high levels of energy efficiency and minimise equivalent CO₂ emissions from the structures.
- Material Reuse: Using recycled materials, such as already existing old roof tiles for facades, will reduce CO₂ emissions and construction waste.
- Art Therapy: Engaging homeowners in the creation process through art therapy is a simple yet highly effective and engaging method to prevent mental health issues.
- Evidence-Based Design: Every decision and aspect of the project is backed by concrete data, calculations, and real monitoring of implemented projects.
