Many of the 6.5 million internally displaced Ukrainians are crowded in school gyms or bomb shelters, with few amenities. Now architects have come up with a solution: quick-build, affordable modular shelters and make the design available to all. Kyiv architect Slava Balbek kicked off the project, and with a team of ten architects they developed the design. Shelters can be arranged in varied ways to house up to hundreds of people, with green space and room for playgrounds and sports fields. A day after publishing the design, Balbek’s firm received hundreds of messages from people willing to volunteer or invest in the project. They already have two sites in different cities.
