looks great but that is a lot of concrete. I think they should keep some of the grass.

Sorry, but that just makes me angry. Some "modern" architects have this Tendency to just cr*p their "style" onto everything they see while not realizing that their stuff only looks good in cgi. And this is a perfect example of "Artists" just being completely unrespectful. Not every buildinf needs to provoke.
Mariupol, Oles Kuncevich
Chernihiv, Regional Youth Center. Ivan Naumko
Add some plants and seating in the tower maybe a way cover it in high summer to give kids an outdoor space to relax

Sorry, but this looks like a college dormitory built in the '60. It's soulless in its uniformity and lack of decoration.

The original photo appears to be the rear and side of the building. The street being lower in the front. The new design has too much glass, and the windows don't open. No thank you.
Theater, Mariupol. Tetiana Ernst
Kharkiv Regional State Administration. Vladislav Shabetya
Why do they always want to lose the character and charm of these old buildings. It's not a building one would want to look up at and admire the architecture. Too plain.
Hotel Ukraine, Chernihiv. Viktor Kovbunov
Again, no balconies. Just a "flop house." At least the windows appear they can be opened.
