With this talk, we start a series of events about human interaction with urban space. The city is a complex multi-layered environment that is constantly changing, sometimes in the most unpredictable way. Planners of the twentieth century tried to establish total control over urban space and find universal solutions to all problems. One of the results of this approach is the post-Soviet environment of Ukrainian cities.
Today we can see how the monotonous buildings of panel districts are dotted with chaotic shapes and flashy signs of self-built houses, the minimized living space of Khrushchevs protrudes outward with glazed balconies and scraps of external insulation, and the high-rise buildings freed from decorations are overgrown with naive art of public utilities workers or residents themselves.
