Ukraine Architecture : Ukrainian Buildings

Contemporary Developments + Buildings in Eastern Europe

Architecture in Ukraine We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Ukrainian Architecture. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Ukraine. The focus is on contemporary Ukrainian buildings but information on key traditional buildings is also welcome.

Olympic Stadium Kiev Design: gmp - von Gerkan, Marg & Partners photograph : Marcus Bredt Olympic Stadium Kiev Ukraine - 4 Jun 2012 The new design for the reconstruction of the building respects the historic fabric with its important filigree prestressed concrete upper tier built in 1968, the frame of the new roof structure being detached and placed clear of the existing bowl. This most distinctive feature is therefore being encased in a new filigree glass façade and will be duly illuminated with appropriate lighting. Ukraine Architecture Competition Kiev Islands Design Contest Architecture Contest Entries image from architects Ukraine Design Competition - Feb 2012 Recent Ukraine Building Design Kiev Football Stadium - Olimpijski National Sports Complex gmp - von Gerkan, Marg & Partners photograph : Oleg Stelmach Football Stadium Ukraine - 11 Jan 2012 The “Red Stadium” was built on the grounds of Alekseevsky Park in Kiev in 1923 for the second All-Ukrainian Olympic Games. Over the decades, it was to be rebuilt and renamed several times. This Ukraine sports venue, which is now called the Olimpijski National Sports Complex, has since been completely renovated for the Euro 2012. Chernobyl Architecture The Chernobyl disaster (locally, Chornobyl Catastrophe) was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 Apr 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (officially Ukrainian SSR), which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central Moscow's authorities. Chernobyl - Photos Photographs by Radu Gulie, freelance photojournalist from Romania, about the Chernobyl accident and it's effects. "Considering the last events that took place in Japan I think this is the best moment for the world to understand the problems regarding the improper use of nuclear energy". The photographs were taken at the Chernobyl plant (what's left of it) and in Prypiat (dead city - where plant workers lived). photos © Radu Gulie An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima I nuclear incident, which is considered far less serious and has caused no deaths). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy. The disaster began in reactor number four of the Chernobyl plant, near the city of Prypiat. There was a sudden power output surge, and when an emergency shutdown was attempted, a more extreme spike in power output occurred, which led to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of explosions. These events exposed the graphite moderator of the reactor to air, causing it to ignite. The resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive smoke fallout into the atmosphere. This plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union and Europe. From 1986 to 2000, around 350,000 people were evacuated and resettled from the most severely contaminated areas of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. photos © Radu Gulie The accident raised concerns about the safety of the Soviet nuclear power industry, as well as nuclear power in general, slowing its expansion for a number of years.
