All cases have a strong social component and are related to the topic of internal displacement of Ukrainians.

As a result of the Hackathon, the teams should develop a comprehensive proposal for the selected case. The comprehensive proposal includes: architectural and engineering vision, as well as a constructive solution with biomaterials, a description of integrated eco-technologies, an implementation budget, and a description of the team's skills required to implement the project.
WHY STRAW?

Straw is an ideal material for circular construction, a byproduct of agricultural production. As a leading grain producer, Ukraine has an abundant straw supply, making it a valuable resource for sustainable building.



Why straw?
• Straw panels enhance the ESG profile of buildings, offering high energy efficiency, a healthy indoor climate, and rapid construction due to prefabricated panel technology.
