Ukrainian architects have designed a temporary school for migrants

Ukrainian studio ZIKZAK Architects have developed a project of a temporary modular school for migrants. The REVIVAL concept allows you to quickly “build” a primary school for 176 students.
Recognizing the importance of speed of recovery, we have developed a concept based on the experience of other countries, which will significantly accelerate the reconstruction of infrastructure. We are talking about multifunctional modular buildings.

The modular block represents a collapsible design from a metal framework. In simple terms, it looks like a constructor that can be quickly built into, for example, a primary school with 176 students, and by adding a few more blocks (rooms) you can accommodate up to 500 students.


Alternatively, the architects offer to “rebuild” the school into modular housing for four people, a house for one family or a three-story apartment building. Modular buildings can also be converted into medical facility.

The project was worked on by: Mariia Ternova, Tatiana Zykh, Nick Zykh, Vlad Gavrilov, Artem Tokma, Victoria Komissarova, Ira Shundik, Katya Kozhukhina, Sasha Marchuk.

as the crisis subsides there will be an influx of refugees returning.
as there will not be homes available and residing in city zones will hinder rebuilding, the temporary housing must be outside the city .
there must be a modular design to this temporary habitation zone. is there a design to allow for containers to be donated ( their contents ) that will facilitate this process? ie
50 sheets of plywood.
120 16′ 2×6 sticks of lumber
4 doors 6 windows
200′ of pvc piping
4 pallets of foodstuffs
4 units of appliances refridgerater, stove, water purifier, waste water processor ( OK this must be a combined consideration )
if there is a official list containers can be filled at sister cities and shipped and distributed according to a plan that is subject to an equal deployment.
development of sister cities plan will personalize effort.
if there is a plan it can be submitted when time is right; it is an easy proposal that could yield results with the press of a button.
the only consideration is where to ship when in country and the equipment to handle containers in-country / on site. heavy lift, hydraulic tip/dump can be fraught with component failures. simple docking posts can be developed as a distribution point
