We created a proposal for afterwar reconstruction of one of the most damaged area of the Kharkiv city. Which was heavily shelling at the beginning of Russia invasion into Ukraine. Dreaming of the time when peace will be back to our home and our proposal will be realized. Meanwhile, we would like to share it with you.
Kharkiv is the second most populated city in Ukraine. The main typology of its residential areas is the so-called micro-districts, which consist of typical panel houses of the Soviet era. One of these areas, Northern Saltivka has been suffering significantly this spring during the massive shelling. Our design solution makes it possible to quickly restore the residential fabric of the city, create new and better conditions for those who return to their new-old home. Given the fact that the entire territory of Ukraine since the mid-1950s has been built up with residential multi-storey panel houses of the same series, this experience can be extended to other territories of Ukraine that have suffered of Russian's aggression.
The idea is to dismantle the damaged parts of the panel structure after inspection, reinforce it with a metal frame and make an architectural "patch" of residential modules that will be printed by a 3D printer. The residential module, with a total area of 31.3 m2, consists of two levels: "adult" and "children's". The "adult" level includes common areas such as: kitchen, living room, bathroom and work area. "Children's" area provides 2 working and sleeping places and a small play area - a secret place. Special attention was paid to storage systems and furniture transformers.
In the Basement floor, containers for storing large items such as skis, snowboards, strollers, etc. are designed for each apartment. Also, we have provided areas for parking and recharging electric scooters and bicycles.
The roof of the building can be made partially (or completely) operated by placing compact areas for recreation and sports there.
Why have we chosen 3D printing technology:
1/Rapidity. It will take days, not weeks, to print the volume. This is important in a situation where it is necessary to restore the housing stock destroyed by military operations as quickly as possible.
2/Create complex, diverse architecture. The post-war mass panel construction of the middle of the last century proved to be ineffective in creating a sustainable, positive architecture for life.
3/Savings on building materials and logistics. For the construction of walls and partitions, ready mix is used. The walls erected in this way outside and inside do not require additional finishing.
4/Save human resource. Lack of labor force caused by the migration crisis. Many of those who belong to the category of the able-bodied population will no longer return and continue their lives in a new place.
5/The opportunity to discover and explore the potential of a 3D printer in the construction (reconstruction) of multi-storey buildings. 3D printed houses are popping up all around the globe! Every new innovation comes to the market with a price that tends to go down over time. Large concrete 3D printers are no exception. Just as with most technologies, the prices are dropping as new, better, and more affordable products are being developed.
6/With the help of a 3D printer, you can create interesting, plastic volumes that are easily adapted to a specific situation. Filling randomly, the destroyed areas of typical panel building, this concept will improve the visual image and aesthetics of the gray monotonous micro districts of the Soviet era
