Mass housing in Ukraine : building typologies and catalogue of series : 1922-2022
This comprehensive study examines the history and typology of mass housing in Ukraine. It does so to evaluate what is lost, explain the diversity of urban living in Ukrainian cities, and finally, reconsider the narrative of how Ukrainian housing came about. The research covers the time of the most dramatic expansion and changes in the character of Ukrainian cities – from the foundation of the USSR in 1922 to the full-scale war of aggression in 2022.
The catalogue begins with experimental buildings constructed in early Soviet central and eastern Ukraine and (then Polish) western Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s. It then looks at standardised projects from the Stalin era and serial apartment blocks built under Khrushchev and Brezhnev and during glasnost. Finally, it showcases individually designed yet standard residential buildings from the turbo-capitalist period of the 1990s and 2000s.
Based on archival materials (texts, blueprints, photographs) and contemporary documentation, the authors analyse approximately 40 housing types. By revealing the Ukrainian context and showing the work of local architects, design institutions, contractors, and developers, they emancipate the history of Ukrainian housing from the Russian narrative of the Soviet past – thus helping to write a history of the Ukrainian building tradition that is embedded in all-European architectural history.
