How can we define, from a built environment perspective, mainly in architectural and urbanistic terms, the spaces of war? I use spaces because I am looking not only at the core of the destruction, at the fight theater, but also at the transformation of space/built environment at the largest scale possible. Like, for example, the anti-atomic shelters that are present, and still compulsory for many buildings across the planet, or the impulse to build or adapt the houses in order to become autonomous in terms of energy. We recently witnessed a vivid debate and somehow inconclusive debate, accompanied by a plethora of dramatic scenarios about the transformation of space - from the domestic space to cities and territories -, during the first wave of the Covid pandemic, but there is not much theoretical debate now, though since Russia attacked Ukraine millions fled, cities were destroyed, Europe prepares for a cold winter without gas, etc. I wonder what is to learn from these events and if we have the same capacity to build scenarios and observe the transformation of our habitat (I live in Romania) under the pressure of war, and of course to understand the interplay of fragility and resilience in the case of localities in Ukraine.
