The talk is led by one of the project\u2019s key members affiliated with the city development laboratory, the NGO \u2018MetaLab\u2019. It provides in-depth, on-the-ground details about how the team converted the building\u2019s private domestic spaces and refurbished common areas, like a canteen, children\u2019s playroom, workspace, cleaning room, and storage spaces, unpacking both the project\u2019s opportunities and challenges. The initiative has been innovative in its efforts to involve future residents directly in building upgrading, thereby empowering them to meaningfully participate in their shelter\u2019s creation. To understand the efficacy of such an approach, the presentation covers learned best practices and community outreach approaches for integrating IDPs into the university\u2019s social and working life. In an effort to provide a fuller picture of the complexities of creating IDP cohousing through building refurbishment, the presentation will further discuss team structures and dealings with aid agencies, local government and university officials, and, most importantly, internally displaced populations. Describing the internal team\u2019s capacities, the presentation will put forward examples of how architects, urban activists, and design professors\u2014both locally in Ukraine and internationally\u2014may work collaboratively to provide displaced communities with decent accommodation through the conversion of unused buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Anastasiya","cu_people_last_name":"Ponamaryova","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[25],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-204","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","hentry","cu_people_type-participants"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Architect \/ Urban Activist","cu_people_degree":"Ph.D. (Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture)","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anastasiya-ponomaryova-298852102\/?originalSubdomain=ua","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ponomaryova.anastasiya\/","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":303,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/204\/revisions\/303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/displacement-ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
