A year after the invasion of Ukraine, @fastcodesign connected with citizens inside the country, who despite all odds and constant threat, continue to work. @nate_berg, @elissavetam, and @Lizstins have been publishing their stories all week, and you don't want to miss them (🧵):
As 1-year anniversaries go, this is a grim one, but the war in Ukraine is very much still ongoing. So my @FastCompany colleagues and I spent the last few months talking to Ukrainian designers, architects + urban planners about how they are rebuilding and how they are surviving…
This week we’re telling the stories of Ukrainian designers who are thinking about how to rebuild amidst an ongoing war. First up, @elissavetam looks at how architects are seeking answers from war-torn cities of the past for how to move forward: fastcompany.com/90851416/to-re…
