Post-war: Reclaiming Life in Kherson, Ukraine
(2024) AAHM10 20241Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- In my master's thesis, I explore the post-war scenario in Ukraine, focusing on the aftermath of the conflict. My primary objective is to formulate a comprehensive strategy that not only accelerates the reconstruction process but also promotes sustainable growth in a targeted area.
For my project, I have chosen the city of Kherson. Positioned as a vital port city on the Black Sea and the Dnieper River, Kherson plays a vital role in the regional economy. Following its liberation from Russian occupation during the war, Kherson faced additional challenges, including the destruction of a nearby dam and flooding in June 2023.

My primary objective is to formulate a comprehensive strategy that not only accelerates the reconstruction process but also promotes sustainable growth in a targeted area.
For my project, I have chosen the city of Kherson. Positioned as a vital port city on the Black Sea and the Dnieper River, Kherson plays a vital role in the regional economy. Following its liberation from Russian occupation during the war, Kherson faced additional challenges, including the destruction of a nearby dam and flooding in June 2023.
Understanding the specific needs and aspirations of the displaced population in Kherson is paramount. Through an analysis of location-based data, I was able to identify key challenges and opportunities in this post-conflict environment.
In designing the space, symbolism plays a crucial role in reflecting the resilience and determination of the local population. The design concept begins with 255 columns, symbolizing the amount of days of Kherson's occupation under Russian control. Prefabrication of elements is prioritized not only to streamline construction processes but also to support local industries, such as reinforced concrete production, which are integral to the city's economy. Dimensional considerations are guided by the capabilities of these local producers.
Central to my development strategy is the principle of incremental growth, which emphasizes flexibility and adaptability in design. By adopting this approach, I aim to ensure that the spaces I create can evolve in tandem with the changing needs and aspirations of the community over time. (Less)
