My first experience as a host and moderator for the architectural Metronome was very warm and fun; next time, we should combine it with some off-the-cuff stand-up comedy))

– No one is working on reconstruction projects

– The restoration of destroyed buildings in cities and their lead architects

– Trends in construction: natural materials, warmth, and comfort

– Using high-quality materials, but (!) ones that are available here and now

– The need for simple methods to check material quality so that years later you won’t be ashamed of your building’s quality – The need to involve the younger generation of specialists and their practical experience.

Best Commercial Project at Ukraine’s Premier Architectural Award, “CREATOR OF THE YEAR”

• UniClinic bySensar –  1st place in the “Best Commercial Project” category at Ukraine’s premier architectural award, CREATOR OF THE YEAR

• The multi-specialty UniClinic hospital was built in 2023 in Zaporizhzhia. It is an 8,500 m² state-of-the-art hospital in Ukraine.

The building was renovated from a five-story unfinished maternity hospital, whose construction began back in Soviet times.

AIMM’s task was to adapt the old building with its outdated structural solutions, some of which were in a state of disrepair.

The main highlight of UniClinic is its decorative fiberglass elements, which feature interesting spatial geometry and create a full 3D effect.

The hospital’s first floor houses a large diagnostic department—with MRI, ultrasound, and CT scan rooms, spacious waiting areas, and an admissions office. Part of the outpatient clinic is also located on the first floor.

The hospital features a large inpatient ward, operating rooms, a hotel, a conference center, and office space.

This is the most modern and largest hospital built in eastern Ukraine since Ukraine’s independence.

The 3rd ART•ARCH•WINGS Charity Auction

The 3rd ART•ARCH•WINGS Charity Auction, held as part of the Architects’ Wings campaign, has taken place.

We are immensely grateful to the artists and guests who joined us for this landmark event.

This was all made possible thanks to art curator Demetrio Felice

Благодійні організації Фонд Архітектурної Палати України та Ми і світ, Благодійний Фонд Козицького провели у Києві благодійний аукціон.

Charitable organizations—the Ukrainian Chamber of Architects Foundation, We and the World, and the Kozitsky Charitable Foundation—held a charity auction in Kyiv.

The auction featured works of art by Ukrainian artists, painters, graphic artists, sculptors, and specialists in three-dimensional art.

The 3rd “Architects’ Wings” Charity Art Auction

The 3rd ART•ARCH•WINGS took place yesterday. This art project is part of the nationwide “Architects’ Wings” campaign, which is raising funds for 1,000 FPV drones for the Bureviy Brigade.

Through such events, we aim to raise awareness about the military, their needs, and the role of architects through art. After all, both architecture and art reflect the world as it is in the present moment, offering a reflection on the past and a vision of the future. This event took place in collaboration with our partner, the Kozytsky Foundation, which was raising funds for an oxygen station for the border guards’ hospital in Dnipro.

This ART•ARCH•WINGS charity art auction was held for the third time and featured 35 works by Ukraine’s finest artists, and we’re not stopping there.

This winter, two auctions took place in Kyiv and Lviv; we involved about 70 artists from various cities across Ukraine, sold 87 works, and raised funds for the needs of the Bureviy Brigade.

Thanks to these art auctions, our guests and friends can learn more about contemporary architects and artists.

As of April 2024, funds have been raised for 780 drones.

Architects’ Wings is a project showcasing what architects can achieve when they come together.

The ART•ARCH•WINGS art auction served as a natural extension of the “Architects’ Wings” campaign, which brought together architects, designers, and urban planners from cities across Ukraine. To date, more than 120 companies and a total of nearly 500 architects and designers have joined the campaign.

A special thank you to the servicemen of the First Presidential Brigade and, in particular, Nazim Guliev—logistics is the key to success.

A special thank you to art curator Demetrio Felice – you’re the best.

The “Creator of the Year” Competition by Ukraine Urban Awards

We are proud and know that the AIMM team’s work is definitely worthy of this award, because “Dacha” is exceptional in every sense. We admire it every day and want to share it with you once again! Scroll through the carousel.

A Tour Led by the Creator of the UNBROKEN Project

Today I had an incredibly informative tour led by the creator of the UNBROKEN project, abmk co-owner Andriy Sikachovskyy, and the center’s chief rehabilitation specialist. They possess invaluable Ukrainian experience across all areas of rehabilitation.

The UNBROKEN complex is constantly expanding and growing; currently, about 140 patients are undergoing treatment simultaneously.

For me, this is a special opportunity to gain knowledge and feedback from those who have become pioneers in this challenging field of medicine. After all, valuable experience ranges from “what was planned” to “how it was implemented” and “how it would be done in the future.” But I will say that this is definitely a powerful and high-quality project. So I’ll share more, in a more engaging and detailed way—on Instagram) the link is in the first comment
