Ukrainian architects developed a project of a memorial complex near > the destroyed bridge in Irpen, which became known to the whole world after the Western media published photos from the evacuation site in the first days of the Russian large-scale invasion. The initiative of the authorship of the balbek bureau studio is called “Open Fracture”.
We will remind, on February 25, on the second day of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the Ukrainian military blew up several bridges near Kyiv in order to prevent the enemy from advancing on the capital. However, the story of the Irpin bridge did not end there.

“For the residents of settlements where fierce battles were fought, crossing the Irpin River was almost the only way to escape from the occupiers. It was from this place, with the help of our defenders, that people evacuated towards Kyiv. Under enemy fire, with baby carriages and pets in their arms,” the studio's website says.
Photos of Ukrainians hiding under the destroyed bridge were spread by international publications. The world remembered the history of this place precisely because of the footage of the “break”. Our task is to preserve this memory and do it responsibly.
