The lecture by Prof. Dr. Bohdan Tscherkes within the exhibition “Design in Wartime” is based on projects from the Lviv Polytechnic National University and the TU Wien. Developed under wartime conditions, the works show how architecture and design respond to destruction, uncertainty, and the loss of normality. The focus lies on refugee housing, shelters, military design, art therapy, and perspectives of reconstruction.
