The premiere of the film The Architects of Hope: The First Steps in Rebuilding Ukraine, which shows the work of Ukrainian architects during the war, will be premiered next week.

The film has already found its audience in Europe and America, but this will be the first time it will be shown in Ukraine. 

Paul Thomas’s documentary tells the stories of five leading architects who share their memories of the first days of the war and their experience of rapid adaptation to new realities. Among the architects is Oleh Drozdov, co-founder of Drozdov & Partners, co-founder and president of the Kharkiv School of Architecture.

A special place in the film is devoted to the transformation of architectural education in connection with the war, using the example of the Kharkiv School of Architecture, which became the first architectural education institution to adapt its curriculum to the challenges of war.

The private premiere of the film in Ukraine will take place on October 16, 2024 at the Zhovten Cinema, Kyiv, at the initiative of IK ARCHITECTS.
