One of the properties of the lace of our DNA is the Ukrainian Rhizome, a phenomenon of our society that gives it the ability to instantly self-organize and create an effective structure without a center. This determines the algorithms of its development and activity.
The initiative is being coordinated by the Foundation of Ukrainian architectural chamber (UUA Foundation) and the Design4Ukraine Association, with the backing of the National Union of Architects of Ukraine and Roberto Bianconi. The Cultural Association Scuola Permanente dell'Abitare has significantly contributed to the project, and the Italian architectural community has provided unwavering support.

Every day we resist and fight for the territory and the freedom to be ourselves, have our own voice and the Future we dream about.
What can Ukrainians share with the people of the world during this unique moment in time?
We wish to share with the people of the world the state TO BE, the moment HERE and NOW and one of the properties of the lace of our DNA - the Ukrainian Rhizome.
It determined the algorithms of our historical development and activities.
This phenomenon of our society gives us the ability to instantly self-organize and create an effective structure without a center, giving us a permanent sense of the value of Freedom.
Our collective memory is filled with the events of resisting colonialism and fighting to preserve our identity. Ukrainians are connected to their ancestors and future generations through the thin roots of timeless self-awareness. The culture of care and personal responsibility, the memory of generations, the deep connection with the native land, the collective strength and consciousness, the willingness to defend our values, and the ability to instantly self-organize are the properties of our DNA lacework.
We consider that the strategy for reconstructing Ukraine and its architecture ought to be complex. It must be centered around our culture and identity, and at the same time, it should provide the vision of the future with a human-centered approach and sensitivity to the context.
We are convinced that such principles can contribute a significant spirit of change to the architecture of social relations and the Architecture of the Future.
The project aims to establish the pan-European genesis of Ukraine, which has always been a part of the European community, with values laid down in previous centuries.
The journey is like a book in “twelve volumes”, in the content of which European viewers will discover even more dimensions of their history, and Ukrainians will find answers about the components of their own identity. The study of the architectural complex of St. Sofia of Kyiv, its history, connections and testimonies will be the starting point of this journey.
The occupiers systematically, mercilessly and purposefully destroy historical, cultural and architectural monuments. That is why the project conveys the true history of Ukraine through architectural and historical parallels.
The architecture preserved on the territory of Ukraine eloquently testifies to the birth of its statehood and culture from Kyivan Rus time. It also witnessed the largest theft in history by the Russian aggressor empire.

The installation is a material, spatial and temporal journey through the moments of Ukrainian history that directly or indirectly influenced European history. We travel from the times of Trypillian culture to the moment “HERE and NOW", when a full-scale war is going on in Ukraine.

The moment and the process are of great importance. We are creating this project in a time of war, simultaneously in different parts of the world, united by the enthusiasm and resources of a self-motivated team of people without sponsors or funds, relying on each other's support. This project is proof that Ukrainians know how to build networks and succeed. Network leadership is our unique Ukrainian superpower!
We want the world to hear the voice of Ukrainian architects. We speak, and we have something to say.

Glory to Ukraine!
