Virtual image of recovery
RE:UKRAINE
VISION
A project aimed at creating a vision for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
The project's goal is to create an application generating virtual images of restored buildings / districts / cities in various designs.
A product that will combine the architectural expertise of Ukrainian and international experts, digital architecture tools, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality to help launch the planning process for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine today.

Treatment architecture as RE:Ukraine Vision's mission
Treatment architecture – creating a design vision of the future restored Ukraine that will serve as a therapeutic function and will be the inspiration for alternative scenarios development and the basis for detailed plans for postwar reconstruction.
Practical implementation of RE:Ukraine Vision – ARCHITREATMENT app
This solution will be implemented using artificial intelligence and will create visual images of restored cities.
How it works
1. Architects and designers create a selection of different stylistic solutions.
2. Materials are processed using artificial intelligence and uploaded to the app.
3. The application uses augmented reality tools to allow a user who takes a photo of a destroyed building and uploads it to the system to see its virtual restored version after processing and view alternative solutions by choosing different design codes (similar to how masks are used on Instagram).

Issues we solve
Regional level: variable design codes development for the restoration of regional architecture with respect to the context and characteristics of individual communities.
Personal level: an opportunity for every Ukrainian who has lost their home to create a visual image of a new/restored version that will become the basis for construction and psychological support while the war continues.
International architectural community: an opportunity to suggest architectural solutions that will be included in the design codes introduced into the program.
