Many people have been displaced as a result of the war in Ukraine, not only because of the dangers posed by the ongoing conflict, but also because artillery bombardment has destroyed people’s homes, offices, hospitals, and educational buildings.
Most people wish they could return, but there is nothing left to return to.
Many people flocked to help with a fantastic idea called RecreateUA, which asked individuals to submit their best plans for demolished buildings.
See how the contestants fared by scrolling down below.
Enjoy!
This is how the project is described on the website.
It’s a call to arms, but this time they’re urging you to use your arms for creation rather than damage.
“This is an open call to the architects, artists and designers of the world. Help us reimagine the future of Ukraine after the war is over.”

But despite all of these setbacks, the Ukrainian spirits are strong, and even this project is a testament to that. Despite the fact that every day, Ukraine is getting more and more destroyed, people are already making plans and bolstering hopes for rebuilding their country, and maybe turning it into a better place.
