The Kharkiv School of Architecture traditionally finishes  its 2023-2024 academic year with the Exhibition of the Year. 

EXHIBITION OF THE YEAR is an exceptional event for an architectural school, when we summarise the results of the educational process. Looking at the works created by students during the year of study, we analyse, reflect and in some way experience RETURNING to the reflections and meanings that inspired their creation.

RETURNING as one that permeates all aspects of human life in times of war became the leitmotif of the exhibition of the year 2024. After all, the projects that were developed this year during the studios are about returning in different interpretations.

 

→ Can architecture play a significant role in the process of treatment and rehabilitation of military personnel, helping them to return to civilian life?

→ Can a conscious choice to live and produce in the countryside become a return to nature?

→ How can industry return to the modern city?

→ How can we reintegrate neighborhoods with complicated history and memory back into the urban space?

 

Attempts to answer these and other questions were synthesized by students in studio projects that form the core of the exhibition. The exhibition will consist of more than 250 works including models, posters, albums of working drawings, texts, and digital materials.

Exhibition of the Year is an opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the School’s atmosphere and better understand the peculiarities of studying at the KhSA.

 

The exhibition presented the results of the pilot course “Critical Reconstruction and Heritage”. The course was designed as part of the international project “UREHERIT. Architects for Heritage in Ukraine. Recreating Identity and Memory”.

 

Opening of the exhibition: June 30th, Sunday,

Venue: Kharkiv School of Architecture, 35A Kubiyovycha St, Lviv, Ukraine.

Duration: 3 weeks.

Opening hours: Tuesday-Friday: 12 pm-19 pm, Saturday and Sunday: 13 pm-19 pm. Monday – closed.

THE GRAND OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION OF THE YEAR

When: Sunday, 30.06 at 17:00

At the grand opening, we will talk about the concept of the exhibition. What prompted us to think about returning? Is it possible to find what was left behind when we return? Reflecting on return throughout the year, we discovered its various manifestations, looking for answers to the question “What can return be like?” in our projects. Despite the somewhat nostalgic theme, we assure you that it will be energetic and fun.

 

LVIV MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE: RESEARCH, DOCUMENTATION, POPULARIZATION

When: Thursday, 04.07 at 18:30

As part of the initiative “Saving Objects and Stories of the Modernist Era in Ukraine,” Skyrone together with students of the KHSA scanned 5 of the most representative modernist buildings in Lviv. At the event, we will talk about the research and preservation of modernist heritage and present the updated design of the project website.
