SHELTERS 
plus
During Russia’s full-scale invasion, access to reliable and comfortable shelters remains a critical issue. Formografia believes that effective, sustainable shelters can be built quickly and with limited resources. This selection presents different shelter projects, including a remote collaboration in Reshetylivka, Poltava region and also space for internally displaced persons in Stryi.

Our approach encourages bottom-up initiatives, making shelters not only for air alerts but also as third spaces for social activity. A key feature is a library of easily implemented design solutions, particularly for furniture, using both original and open-source designs, including those by Enzo Mari.
