The russian army destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings in Ukraine. In the Bucha community, 14 schools were ruined.
Get involved in Bucha School project – together, we will create a school for a new generation, which will also become a foundation of a stronger, rebuilt Ukraine.
Modern education spaces, safety, clean energy and environmental resilience has been the focus of the school design. A second home designed to provide a comfortable environment and to enable the future generation of Ukraine.
Project team partnered up to create the Bucha School that has no negative impact on the environment – the first ever A energy class school in Ukraine.
The sense of safety and inclusiveness within the community is a key aspect of the Bucha School concept. Our team of architects aims to create a hub of educational and recreational activity.
