The essence of this collaboration lies in showcasing that Ukraine is not only about its traditional culture but also boasts brutalist and modernist architecture, along with contemporary industrial design that continues to thrive despite the ongoing war.

The collaboration's focal point lies in artistic visualisations showcasing five architectural marvels. These visual representations serve a dual purpose: to draw attention to buildings of architectural significance that are at risk of disappearing due to neglect and Russian missile attacks and to underscore the importance of preserving modernist architectural heritage.

The complete set consists of 15 images.
