Ukrainian Academy of Architecture, despite the challenges of today, steadily moves forward in many directions.
To establish systematic international cooperation, and primarily to engage foreign investors in the restoration of Ukraine's architectural heritage, work is underway to organize diplomatic and corporate relations with leading architectural, construction, and scientific-educational organizations worldwide, including Denmark, Israel, Georgia, Cyprus, Uzbekistan, Japan, and others, where we have already opened or are soon to open representations of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture.
To intensify the activities of the Academy, cooperation is carried out with state and public scientific, artistic, and educational institutions and organizations, such as the National Academies of Sciences of Ukraine and Georgia, the National Unions of Architects of Ukraine and Georgia, the Academy of Arts of Ukraine, the Academy of Construction of Ukraine, the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, a number of leading architectural and construction universities of Ukraine, national and regional reserves of the country. Memorandums of cooperation have been signed for this purpose.
The Academy consistently contributes to addressing the problems of theory and practice of preservation, restoration, and comprehensive regeneration of historical and architectural objects of cultural heritage. Therefore, for coordination purposes, the Association of Reserves and Museums of Ukraine has been established at the Academy.
Upon request of state institutions, events and project proposals for the restoration of destroyed objects in the war-affected regions of the country are implemented.
To raise awareness of the tragic consequences of Russian aggression for Ukraine, the Academy conducts exhibition activities both in the country and abroad. Particularly important was an event held in Tel Aviv with the support of the embassies of Ukraine and Israel under the title "War and Architecture," which was exhibited at the premises of Israel's leading architectural bureau "MOSHE ZUR."
During summer 2023 Ukrainian Academy of Architecture together with our representatives in Israel arranged a wellbeing camp for Dubno children.”
The First All-Ukrainian Student Competition for the organization of public space in Sumy was held. Preparation is underway for international and subsequent all-Ukrainian student competitions on topics relevant to the country.
Scientific-practical conferences involving the Academy, the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Lviv Polytechnic National University, and the National Historic-Architectural Reserve "Castles of Ternopil Region" have been conducted.
To popularize the public position of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture, informational and documentary films are regularly produced and distributed through social networks. Academy members are also actively involved in scientific-publishing and educational activities.
An architect is the most complex and responsible of professions, requiring extensive knowledge in various fields, including the psychology of perception. Because an architect working for the present must also anticipate the future, as architectural objects typically outlive their creators. Thus, in ancient times, the title of "Architect" was bestowed only upon the chosen few. However, we proudly state that the current Ukrainian Academy of Architecture consists of genuine creative individuals, and the Academy has every reason to be a pillar for the future renewal of Ukraine.
