The escalation of war run by the Russian Federation against Ukraine has caused one of the largest housing crises in the world. As a result of the hostilities, more than 14 million Ukrainians have become refugees and internally displaced persons. This paper aims to develop guidelines for the selection of an implementation strategy for aid architecture in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraine. The scope of the work includes: research, including materials research; design, including adaptation of designs to Polish market and climatic conditions; prototyping and implementation of two types of housing aid architecture: emergency shelters and temporary housing. The projects presented in the article by arch. Shigeru Ban: Paper Partition System and Styrofoam Housing System were developed and executed between March and September 2022.

Nasilenie działań wojennych Federacji Rosyjskiej przeciwko Ukrainie spowodowało jeden z największych kryzysów mieszkaniowych na świecie. W wyniku działań wojennych ponad 14 milionów Ukraińców stało się uchodźcami i uchodźcami wewnętrznymi. Celem artykułu jest opracowanie wytycznych wyboru strategii wdrażania architektury pomocowej w kontekście konfliktu zbrojnego w Ukrainie. Zakres prac obejmuje: prace badawcze, w tym badania materiałowe; prace projektowe, w tym adaptacja projektów do polskich warunków rynkowych i klimatycznych; prototypowanie i implementację dwóch rodzajów mieszkaniowej architektury pomocowej: schronień natychmiastowych oraz mieszkań tymczasowych. Zaprezentowane w artykule projekty autorstwa arch. Shigeru: Bana Paper Partition System oraz Styrofoam Housing System zostały opracowane i wykonane w okresie od marca do września 2022 roku.
