Future School for Ukraine
An open design competition to conceptualise a Multifunctional Education Centre to provide replacement teaching facilities and shelter in Ukraine.
More than 3,000 school buildings in Ukraine are currently severely damaged or destroyed as a result of ongoing military aggression. More than a third of Ukrainian pupils only have access to distance learning. A large number of pupils do not attend school because their safety is not guaranteed. In terms of the needs of educational infrastructure which exist today and will remain in place for the near future, Ukraine will require the multi-purpose education centres in regional centres.
The examination of a multitude of arguments at the competition development phase has led to a decision to develop the concept of a Multifunctional Education Centre, which will accommodate around 550 children of all ages, with facilities for temporary accommodation for pupils and teachers, spaces for community activities and psychological rehabilitation, and a dual-use shelter.
This is an adaptive reuse architectural design competition, therefore a specific site is not provided at the competition stage. In order to identify the volumetric and spatial adaptability of the proposals and the outdoor area solutions, three hypothetical sites with different characteristics are provided in the procurement documentation.
First prize €12,000; 2nd Prize €10,000; 3rd Prize €8,000.
The winner will receive a procurement contract, and other entries put forward for potential investment.
