The Architects of Hope: The First Steps in Rebuilding
Ukraine documents the urban renewal efforts of five leading Ukrainian architects,
that were destroyed as a result of the war. The film follows their determination and the need to
to rethink their existing approaches in order to respond to new demands such as
stability, resilience and better accessibility for people affected by war injuries.
For these architects, hope is not just wishful thinking, but a fundamental necessity for
to realise new forms of cities.
