The study is devoted to the integration of inclusive engineering principles and craft technologies in the design of food service facilities within the context of Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. The primary focus is on the environmentally responsible selection of building materials (wood, clay, straw, hemp fiber, arbolite concrete) and architectural solutions that address the needs of vulnerable population groups, including veterans, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons. Emphasis is placed on ensuring quality standards, safety (notably HACCP), and hygiene, which are critically important in the food service sector.
In the context of the war in Ukraine, which has caused extensive infrastructure destruction, there is a need to create a new architectural and construction culture oriented toward sustainable development, social inclusivity, and the preservation of local identity. The proposed approach combines circular economy principles (material reuse), craft technologies (hand labor, local resources), and inclusive design (barrier-free access, adaptive furniture, sensory comfort). This contributes to the economic recovery of communities, reduces environmental impact, and creates culturally significant spaces.
The objective is to develop a methodology for integrating inclusive engineering and craft technologies to create accessible, safe, and authentic food service facilities.
The study includes an analysis of the thermophysical characteristics of building materials such as density, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and vapor permeability, along with a comparison of their technological complexity, environmental friendliness, and economic feasibility. Results demonstrate the advantages of materials with high heat capacity (reed panels, arbolite) for energy efficiency and low thermal conductivity (cellulose insulation, foam glass) for thermal insulation. Architectural solutions encompass ramps, wide corridors, zoning, anti-slip surfaces, and hygienic materials compliant with HACCP standards.
This approach ensures the creation of sustainable, safe, and socially inclusive spaces that support the local economy, reduce ecological footprint, and contribute to the preservation of Ukrainian identity. It is recommended to adapt regulatory frameworks and educational programs to promote these principles.
