Published on the occasion of the exhibition “Orientations. Young Swiss Architects at the Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel”, this pamphlet is the outcome of a survey carried out by Leopold Banchini & Daniel Zamarbide (Bureau A, CH) and Sergey Ferley (Bur∅, UA). The study compiles correspondence, images, an essay, and plans that reference the transitory architecture built during the siege of Maidan Square in Kiev in 2014. As beacons of resistance, city squares have acquired iconic status for political claims, where many temporary autonomous areas changed and challenged the ruling authoritarian regimes.
