We have some incredible news. The HORIZONS & ZAG-GALLERY business center has been nominated for the 2026 Mies van der Rohe Architecture Award!

The renovation of the institute building at ZAG Gallery serves as an example of a creative approach to preserving the existing structure of the environment. The building’s form combines a glass shell with decorative elements shaped like “little books,” creating a harmonious composition. An innovative solution was the use of aluminum as the primary material for the facade, which allowed us to achieve the desired visual effect while maintaining the structure’s lightness.

The Mies van der Rohe Award is the highest honor for contemporary architecture in Europe, often referred to as the European “Architectural Oscar.” It recognizes projects that demonstrate excellence and innovation, setting trends and highlighting the cultural and social significance of architecture. Being nominated for this award means joining the ranks of the continent’s finest architectural works.

Kyiv is a city with unique potential, but without clear rules of the game.

Anna Iskierdo shared her thoughts exclusively with @nv.ua: why the capital operates without an updated master plan, how chaotic development is destroying the historic environment, and why real change begins not with the government, but with the community.

This isn’t just analysis—it’s a reflection on the future of a city that deserves a systematic approach, respect for its heritage, and the responsibility of every individual.
