Singapore's Bomb-Resistant Homes for Ukraine: Aims to Protect and Shelter Those Afflicted by the War

Singapore's Genesis Architects is aiming to build more of its project for Ukraine, particularly bomb-resistant homes, to protect the victims of the attacks from hostile forces during this present conflict. The project comes from architects Rudy Taslim and Lam Bao Yan, who use their expertise to design cost-effective homes in Ukraine for its citizens to live in and get shelter from many external forces present.

Singapore's Genesis Architects' Project in Ukraine

The Straits Times reported that two architects are now centering their projects on creating homes for Ukrainians, and it would help place them in mobile houses that would fit their needs. The couple's expertise in architecture helped them design a home that fits the European Union standards and uses locally-sourced materials.

These mobile homes are made out of pine woods and styrofoam blocks, for starters, and they would help make a durable shelter for Ukrainians in need. It would also help in keeping them warm come the cold winter of the country, a season that is coming soon for all.

Modular homes come with standard living needs like living area, toilet, and kitchen, with the capability to be interconnected and build larger homes. It is a cost-effective mobile home that is slightly bigger than container homes.

Free, Bomb-Resistant Homes for Ukrainians

According to Singapore Magazine, Taslim and Lam ventured to Ukraine last May and August, and it showed them the conditions which Ukrainians were forced to live in, due to the war. This sparked an idea for the architects to create homes that are bomb-resistant, as there is no way of telling when and where these weapons would come near them or drop above.

Additionally, the firm is making these for free, with 200 homes already made, aiming to create 500 homes come wintertime.

Ukraine and Russia's Conflict

It is no doubt that those who suffer from conflicts and wars like this are the citizens who cannot even live their daily lifestyles and continue with their goals and aspirations. There was much humanitarian aid that came for Ukrainians who were left to scavenge for their survival daily, something which this conflict brought upon its innocent citizens.

Many companies like Google, Intel, Microsoft, and more denounced the ongoing conflict from its early beginnings, but this did not stop Russia from its goals to get what it wants from Ukraine.

Many were already pushed to the edge and brought a significant stand against Russia's efforts against Ukraine in the past few months, centering on this war. The United States already sanctioned Russia for its actions and part of it is the limit to technology access from American companies and products, now losing processors and the like.

There were many efforts to help Ukrainians gain access to basic needs in the modern world, but one of the most important things now is a place they can call home and feel safe every day. This effort by Genesis Architect's Taslim and Lam is a massive effort to give Ukrainians what they need, especially in the coming days ahead.
