The evolution of prefabricated construction in Ukrainian residential buildings: technological innovations and challenges

Abstract

Ukrainian housing construction has undergone significant changes, from simple brick buildings to energy-efficient prefabricated buildings. Each period has reflected the needs of society, technological advances and economic conditions. The study provides an overview of the evolution of structural systems in Ukrainian residential buildings. The aim of the paper is to analyse the chronological development of technological, typological and design solutions in housing construction in Ukraine. The discussion will point out the challenges for rehabilitating the perception of the benefits of prefabricated construction and increasing the implementation of industrialized elements in housing construction in the country.
