dear designboom reader,

architecture and design studios respond with emergency solutions to russia's invasion in ukraine, which has forced more than 10 million people to flee their homes so far.

shigeru ban's non-profit organization, VAN, has installed the paper partition system (PPS) for ukrainian refugees in neighboring poland. meanwhile, kyiv-based balbek bureau has come up with a modular town system for refugees that's designed to help displaced ukrainians maintain a decent lifestyle even in such temporary settlements.

thanks for reading!
