Due to the full-scale Russian invasion, the architectural environment of the front-line and temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine will suffer irreparable damage. The construction of large and small cities, formed during the comprehensive development of urban areas in the late 1950s and 1980s, suffered the most. It was then in the cities of Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kherson Oblast and Crimea specific examples of the "second wave" of domestic architectural modernism appear. These are both large planning entities and a number of individual objects. Currently, in the national cultural space there is no publicly available systematized information regarding the heritage of modernism of the specified regions. Therefore, it is impossible to audit the preservation of its most valuable samples, which are under threat of destruction or access to which is significantly complicated for domestic and international experts. The proposed project provides a comprehensive solution to the raised problem of access to information about the heritage of domestic architectural modernism of the front-line and temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine. With the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, the creation of the thematic website "Fragile Heritage" opens access to all interested parties, including foreign experts, to digital copies of archival and library materials specially produced as part of the project, which record the modernist heritage of Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kherson Oblasts and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The implementation of the project takes place in the creative cooperation of representatives of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Zaporizhzhia City Council (Serhiy Bilov and Pavlo Kravchuk), the V. G. Zabolotnyi State Scientific Architecture and Construction Library (Natalia Svitla, Svitlana Kainova and Lydia Konoval), the Bauhaus Institute of History and theories of architecture and planning of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the Bauhaus University (Thomas Flierl).

Special partners of the "Fragile Heritage" project are the Central State Archive of Higher Authorities and Administration of Ukraine (TsDAVO of Ukraine) and the Central State Scientific and Technical Archive of Ukraine.

The use of any materials of the Fragile Heritage resource is free of charge, provided that it is published, posted on social media or in mass media with a link to the resource, with its watermark (UCF_ Fragile_Heritage). In other cases, it is necessary to contact the manager of the relevant materials indicated in the name of the collection or the description of a specific source.
