Kharkiv Deurbanization-relocation scenario examines the private Kharkiv School of Architecture founded by Oleg Drozdov. The school relocated to Lviv in early 2022 due to active military conflict and Kharkiv rapidly becoming a frontline.
The School managed to preserve its students and staff, it launches revolutionary cutting edge new projects and MA programs, facing the wartime challenge with courage and dignity and setting a high level of professionalism and stoicism to the world.
This series of roundtables aims is to study the process of deurbanisation of Kharkiv (second biggest city in the north-east of Ukraine, 1,5 million population) in order to understand the current processes and prospects of revival (Phoenix-nomenon) of the multidimensional significance of the city of Kharkiv, namely, what can be the core that can restore the former scientific, academic, cultural, industrial significance of the city
