Constructing Hope: Ukraine

Center for Architecture, New York.
2024


Visual Identity 
Exhibition Design












The exhibition highlights new architectural practices for Ukraine’s
reconstruction. A cross-shaped adhesive tape, used to prevent glass
shattering, symbolizes war’s impact and civilian protection.
Echoing traditional Ukrainian embroidery, it ties to cultural heritage.

Bespoke letters paired with accessible fonts reflect the rough,
urgent repair of damaged street signs, emphasizing speed and
functionality over perfection during the war.
