"Fragile Architecture"
Exhibition of Urban Graphic Design from Kyiv in Zurich
Project Overview
SERIA___ is an urban graphic project inspired by the typical housing blocks in Ukraine. The project was founded in Kyiv by designer Dasha Podoltseva and architect Elena Orap. SERIA____ includes items of collectible design, printed graphics and clothing. While Ukrainian houses are under attack, we want to give Ukrainian designers an opportunity to present their design objects in Switzerland.

The BPS series of buildings is an improved adaptation of the Moscow version, which was developed in the early 1960s. The houses of this series became the first 16-storey blocks in the city. Their features include thick reinforced concrete walls, triangular balconies, and sometimes a kind of ‘tripod’ that serve as a support for the sides. In Kyiv, these buildings can be found in Obolon, Sviatoshyn, Holosiyevo and Lisnyi masyv.

The ‘Czech’ houses are 9 or 12-storey panel constructions. The project was intended as an improved version of the Khrushchyovka buildings. Their main feature is that almost the entire plane of the facade is occupied by balconies, arranged in a symmetrical or checkerboard pattern. The houses of this series have been built since the 1970s. No one knows for sure why the series was called the ‘Czech’ project. Houses of this series can be found in Obolon, Borshchahivka, Lisnyi masyv, Holosiyevo, Bereznyaki, Raiduzhnyi and Rusanivka.
