INTRODUCTION The modern hospitality and restaurant in- dustry is in a state of deep structural and value transformation, which is caused by a complex of global and local factors. The era of mass con- sumption, characterised by the dominance of transnational fast food chains, is gradually giving way to conscious models of gastronomic behav- iour. A fundamental alternative to the stand- ardised approach to food is the concept of Slow Food, which emerged in Italy in 1986 under the leadership of Carlo Petrini as a socio-cultural re- sponse to the expansion of globalisation and the loss of local culinary identity [20]. Originating as a protest movement against the opening of a fast food restaurant in the historic centre of Rome, Slow Food quickly evolved into a large- scale international organisation whose activi- ties today cover not only gastronomy, but also ecology, sustainable development policy, pro- duction ethics and the architectural environ- ment [20]. The topic of designing Slow Food concepts is especially relevant in the context of modern Ukraine, where the full-scale military invasion of 2022–2025 has radically changed approaches to the restaurant business, increasing the need to shorten supply chains and ensure the safety of visitors [8]. The city of Kharkiv, as a front- line metropolis that demonstrates incredible re- silience and actively shapes post-war develop- ment strategies, is a representative platform for exploring the possibilities of designing a new generation of RSGs [9]. The connection with the scientific and practical tasks of reconstruction and new construction of HoReCa facilities under martial law determines the relevance and feasi- bility of this study. ANALYSIS OF RECENT RESEARCH The issue of designing restaurant facilities with regard to the concepts of sustainable de- velopment is being actively studied by scientists in various aspects. The Slow Food movement of- fers the Ukrainian restaurant industry a holistic and promising development model that com- bines economic success with social and envi- ronmental responsibility [17]. The issue of mar- keting justification for the implementation of the Slow Food concept in the restaurant business is covered in the works of domestic and foreign researchers. Of particular interest is the study by Obolentseva and other authors, which anal- yses the essence, role and significance of the Slow Food concept in the system of sustainable development [24]. The conceptual foundations of the architectural dimension of the Slow Food movement – the Slow Architecture paradigm – are systematically considered in works that ex- plore the relationship between gastronomic and spatial practices. In particular, the study on the search for a model of «slow architecture» from Slow Food to Citta Slow [21] is important. Global trends in the restaurant business towards sustainable development are analysed in detail in the study of design strategies for cu- linary heritage restaurants in terms of cultural sustainability [1]. The issue of gastronomic tourism and its connection with the Slow Food concept is considered in a comprehensive re- view of global trends in 2010–2025 [26]. The influence of social media and digital marketing

Theory and practice of design. Issue. 2 (40). 2026 ISSN 2415-8151 (Print), 2786-8664 (Online) [44] on the promotion of Slow Food restaurants is studied in the study of TripAdvisor use in res- taurants of the corresponding format [25]. The issue of restaurant interior design as a factor of visitor satisfaction is revealed in the research of the Rochester Institute of Technology [11]. The specifics of the restaurant business in the context of the armed conflict and the pros- pects for the recovery of the hospitality market in Ukraine have been explored in a number of publications. The issues of Kharkiv’s reconstruc- tion and the development of new approaches to urban planning are considered in UNECE analyt- ical materials [10]. Despite the wide coverage of certain aspects, there is a lack of comprehensive research that integrates the architectural design of the Slow Food concept with wartime security requirements and the specifics of the Kharkiv context. This article is dedicated to solving this problem. PURPOSE The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive study of the theoretical and methodological foundations and practical as- pects of the design and construction of a res- taurant establishment operating in accordance with the principles of the Slow Food concept, as well as to consider the possibilities and features of implementing such a project in Kharkiv under martial law. THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH AND THEIR DISCUSSION The philosophical basis of the Slow Food concept is based on three fundamental prin- ciples that determine the vector of develop- ment for both agricultural producers and res- taurant businesses: «Good, Clean, Fair» [20]. The «Good» principle declares the need to re- turn to natural flavours that are not distorted by chemical enhancers, which are widely used in the fast food industry to mask the low quality of raw materials [24]. In addition, this principle requires the cultivation of gastronomic pleasure, slowing down the process of food consumption and creating a culture of communication at the table that promotes psycho-emotional well- being [22]. The Clean principle reflects the environ- mental dimension of the philosophy. In the context of the restaurant business, this prin- ciple requires the establishment to minimise its carbon footprint by switching to environmen- tally friendly raw materials, optimising the re- cycling of organic waste and refusing to use sin- gle-use plastic packaging [22]. The Fair principle forms the ethical and socio-economic basis of the movement. The formation of «short supply chains» (farm-to-table) allows eliminating nu- merous intermediaries, so that the farmer re- ceives a fair reward for his work, and the con- sumer receives a fresh product at an adequate price [22]. The integrated implementation of these three principles in the design and opera- tion of a restaurant creates a sustainable busi- ness model that can generate not only economic but also significant socio-cultural capital [4]. An analysis of the global hospitality market shows that the Slow Food concept has long gone beyond a niche trend, becoming a driver of transformation for the entire HoReCa segment. Today’s consumers, especially mil- lennials and Gen Z, demonstrate a high level of environmental and social awareness, which directly affects their choice of food outlets [1]. Global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and unprecedented climate change, have only accelerated the transition to conscious con- sumption [13]. An important aspect of the global devel- opment of Slow Food is the use of digital tech- nologies to promote traditional gastronomy. Studies show that reviews on platforms such as TripAdvisor have a critical impact on the deci- sion-making process when it comes to visiting restaurants, with customers paying the most at- tention to the quality of service, location, au- thenticity and physical structure of the estab- lishment [25]. The introduction of the Slow Food con- cept in the Ukrainian restaurant business has its own unique specifics, which are determined by the country’s rich agricultural tradition and the extreme conditions of the economy during a full-scale war [24]. The full-scale military ag- gression has radically changed the socio-eco- nomic landscape of Ukraine, hitting the hospi- tality industry [7]. Studies show that in the first months of the war, almost 46.8% of businesses stopped their operations, and among those that continued to operate, restaurants and cafes ac- counted for only about 6% [3]. Businesses have faced unprecedented challenges: disruption of supply chains, shortages of raw materials, mas- sive outflow of skilled workers, and constant physical threats from rocket attacks [7]. However, it is in these crisis conditions that the Slow Food concept has demonstrated its adaptability and economic feasibility as an anti-crisis tool [4]. The strategy of short supply chains, which is the core of the Slow Food philos- ophy, allowed many establishments to survive: local farmers were able to adapt to logistical constraints more quickly and provide restau- rants with the necessary raw materials.

Вип. 2 (40). 2026 [45] led to a unique synergy – the restaurant busi- ness has begun to actively support domestic craft production, cheese factories, local wineries and farms [22]. In the face of constant stress and psycho- logical strain associated with martial law, res- taurants have transformed their social role [3]. They have become centres of social cohesion, volunteer hubs and spaces for psychological relief. The concept of Slow Food, with its em- phasis on sharing a leisurely meal in a relaxed atmosphere, is a perfect fit for this new so- cial need [24]. At the same time, the industry is facing new challenges: the need for autono- mous power supply, water reserves and physical safety of guests and staff through the construc- tion of reliable shelters [3]. The design concept of the restaurant is based on the Slow Food philosophy and the idea of an organic connection with the natural en- vironment and gastronomic traditions of the Kharkiv region. The general idea is to create an authentic space at that harmoniously combines a modern level of comfort with respect for the en- vironment and local culinary heritage, creating a unique gastronomic experience for guests. The location of the restaurant in Kharkiv in the format of an autonomous one-storey building al- lows us to implement a unique conceptual iden- tity and establish partnerships with regional ag- ricultural producers. The unique selling proposition of the res- taurant is structured around four key values that form the competitive advantage of the estab- lishment and differentiate it in the restaurant market (Fig. 1). The Slow Food philosophy cannot be fully realised in an inappropriate spatial environment. The integration of the ideas of conscious con- sumption into the material world has led to the formation of the architectural paradigm of Slow Architecture [21]. This trend emerged in the late 1980s in parallel with the Slow Food and Citta Slow movements as a reaction to standardisa- tion, globalisation and the accelerated pace of life. Slow Architecture offers a radically different way – putting people, their sensory experience and harmonious interaction with the environ- ment at the centre of design [21]. The first principle – Good (Quality and Sensuality) – implies the rejection of purely visual dominance. The architectural space should be perceived in a multisensory way: through the feeling of the texture of materials (roughness of stone, warmth of natural wood, softness of tex- tiles), through acoustic comfort (minimisation of reverberation, use of sound-absorbing mate- rials) and through visual stimuli [21]. The second principle, Clean, requires the architect to minimise the destructive impact on the ecosystem at all stages: from the extrac- tion of building materials to the disposal of the Fig. 1.

The project should include highly efficient thermal insulation systems, renewable energy sources (integrated photovoltaic sys- tems BIPV, heat pumps), rainwater collection and treatment systems, as well as engineering solutions for local organic waste processing [19]. Although green building often requires higher initial investments, in the long run it provides operational savings and builds loyalty among conscious consumers [18]. The third principle – Fair (Ethical Sustainability) – in architecture means creating an inclusive, accessible space that does not dis- criminate against visitors based on their physical abilities [21]. The design of the WRG must take into account the principles of universal design: barrier-free entrances, wide aisles between ta- bles, adapted sanitary facilities [2]. In addition, the ethical component involves the involvement of local craftsmen, artists, furniture makers and folk artists in the creation of the interior [21]. Restaurant interior design is a marketing tool and a means of communicating brand phi- losophy. The process of its creation is a complex task that requires a perfect balance between ar- tistic and aesthetic uniqueness and strict func- tionality of technological processes [12]. One of the most relevant stylistic trends for visualising the Slow Food philosophy is the Japanese aes- thetics of Wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in im- perfection, asymmetry, simplicity and natural variability of objects [16]. This is manifested in the interior of the restaurant through the use of natural, unprocessed materials: rough stone, textured clay plaster, wood with a pronounced texture and cracks, linen textiles, handmade ce- ramics [16]. Functional zoning of the space plays a crit- ical role. The design should separate the flows of visitors and service personnel to avoid cha- otic movement and the intersection of clean and dirty production lines. The scale of the interior should be human-centred, creating private com- fort zones even in large halls [23]. An important element of the layout is the introduction of the Open Kitchen format, which completely breaks down the barrier between the chef and the guest and serves as the best proof of adherence to the principles of cleanliness and honesty – the guest sees that the dish is prepared from fresh local ingredients, without industrial semi-finished products [10]. To attract a younger audience, it is advisable to provide special exhibition areas in the interior that tell the story of the origin of local products, the process of growing raw ma- terials or contain artefacts related to the local culinary tradition [1]. A current trend is also the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems that allow architects to optimise furniture arrange- ment based on space per person and analyse lighting scenarios [12]. The current security situation in Ukraine as a result of a full-scale armed invasion is making significant adjustments to traditional approaches to interior design for civilian build- ings. Blast waves and shrapnel are the main sources of damage in civilian buildings, so de- signers are forced to reconsider the concept of lighting and fencing. The choice of furni- ture is of great importance: heavier, massive structures made of natural wood that do not produce small, dangerous fragments should be preferred over lightweight plastic or metal furniture [8]. Lighting systems, especially pendant lights, should be securely fastened and equipped with additional fixtures. To en- sure autonomous functioning in the event of a power outage, the project provides for the installation of diesel generators, battery sta- tions and tanks for storing drinking and pro- cess water in special technical rooms with high-quality sound insulation [3]. Ventilation systems should be equipped with high-effi- ciency filters to clean the air from combustion products. A comparative study of the interior de- sign of Slow Food restaurants in the world and in Ukraine reveals significant differences due to security conditions. The foreign experience of designing Slow Food restaurants is character- ised by the widespread use of panoramic glazing and open glazed terraces, which allows for visual contact with the natural environment and creates an atmosphere of openness and unity with nature characteristic of this style. Leading European and American establishments in this segment often demonstrate maximum transpar- ency of the building envelope, emphasising the connection between the internal gastronomic experience and the external landscape (Fig. 2 a) [6]. However, in the Ukrainian context, in par- ticular in the Kharkiv context of a full-scale armed conflict, this approach is unacceptable from a security point of view. Designers are forced to abandon large-scale glazing in favour of monu- mental enclosing structures made of brick, nat- ural stone and wood, which not only provide an authentic Slow Food atmosphere but also serve as effective protection against shrapnel damage (Fig. 2 b). The minimal number of windows with explosion-proof double-glazed windows, deep slopes and natural materials in the decoration form a unique Ukrainian interpretation of Slow Architecture, where the philosophy of conscious consumption is organically synthesised with wartime security imperatives.

Вип. 2 (40). 2026 [47] The design of the WRS in Kharkiv, a city of one million people, is an architectural and social challenge of the highest level of complexity [7]. The destruction of infrastructure and interrup- tions in electricity and water supply have rad- ically changed the paradigm of doing business. However, Kharkiv has demonstrated incredible resilience: the city is not only surviving, but is actively developing post-war recovery strate- gies. The work on the new Kharkiv master plan, which involves the team of world-renowned British architect Lord Norman Foster, envisages the creation of a city of the future with a focus on the high-tech economy, green infrastructure, decentralisation and mixed-use spaces [9]. According to the experts of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the city’s reconstruction should be based on European standards and integrate the princi- ples of environmental sustainability. Slow Food restaurants, focused on local products and sus- tainability, fit perfectly into the concept of Green Kharkiv [9]. According to researchers of urban space in the context of Ukraine’s reconstruction, architecture is a significant protective tool and manifestation of democratic values [15]. A high- quality, aesthetically perfect environment can serve as a physical and mental defence for so- ciety. A restaurant in Kharkiv, built according to the principles of Slow Architecture, can become an urban space that generates a sense of sta- bility, normalcy and hope for the future [15]. To ensure functioning under martial law, designers are obliged to integrate autonomous life support systems into the concept of the fa- cility [3]. The most critical requirement for the design of any public or commercial facility in modern Ukraine, and especially in Kharkiv, is the availability of a reliable civil protection system. According to the current State Construction Standards DBN V.2.2-5:2023 «Civil Protection Facilities», all new or reconstructed civil protec- tion facilities must be equipped with shelters or dual-purpose structures [2]. This is not just a legal formality, but a matter of saving the lives of clients and staff [3]. Integrating a massive protective facility into a Slow Food concept restaurant is a com- plex architectural and engineering challenge. The shelter should be designed using monolithic reinforced concrete, which will provide resist- ance to mechanical loads from blast waves, pro- tection from radiation and heat resistance [2]. The concept of dual-purpose space should be applied in the design to avoid turning the shelter into a dead, economically inefficient zone. The underground protected perimeter can be organ- ically integrated into the technological and cus- tomer structure of the restaurant. Ideal uses for such a space in peacetime include: wine cellars and tasting rooms (massive walls and lack of natural light are ideal conditions for storing local craft wines); aging rooms for craft cheeses or fermented products; storage areas for organic root vegetables to provide the restaurant with local vegetables [24]. A critical aspect of designing a shelter is compliance with the principles of barrier-free ac- cess. Architects must provide gentle ramps of standard width with anti-slip coating, widened doorways without thresholds, special lifts with backup power, and specially equipped sanitary rooms [3]. This requirement perfectly correlates with the «Fair» principle of the Slow Architecture concept, declaring equal rights to safety and comfort for every member of society [21]. The interior design of the shelter should avoid de- pressing colours; the use of warm, diffused lighting, wood elements in furniture and wabi sabi aesthetics (where concrete walls are per- ceived as a stylistic solution, not a bunker) will help reduce stress and panic among visitors [5]. а б Fig. 2.

Theory and practice of design. Issue. 2 (40). 2026 ISSN 2415-8151 (Print), 2786-8664 (Online) [48] CONCLUSIONS A thorough study of the process of de- signing restaurant facilities through the prism of the Slow Food concept shows that this philos- ophy has long outgrown the status of a culinary trend, turning into a fundamental architectural, social and economic paradigm. At the global level, the implementation of the Good, Clean, Fair principles forms response to the challenges of climate change and the demands of new gen- erations for sustainable development, environ- mental responsibility and preservation of au- thenticity. In the spatial and architectural dimen- sions, the philosophy of conscious eating is ex- trapolated into the Slow Architecture concept. The use of environmentally friendly local mate- rials, open kitchens and well-thought-out zoning allows us to turn a restaurant into an oasis of calm and communication. Comparative analysis has shown that the traditional emphasis on pan- oramic glazing in the context of the global Slow Food practice in Ukraine and Kharkiv gives way to solutions with minimal open glass surfaces and natural monumental materials that simulta- neously meet both the Slow Architecture philos- ophy and safety requirements. The concept is especially important in the context of martial law in Kharkiv. The destruc- tion of global logistics chains has confirmed the economic feasibility of the short supply chain model. According to DBN B.2.2-5:2023, the de- sign of new or reconstructed facilities is impos- sible without the integration of reliable inclusive shelters. A challenging task in modern design is to create dual-purpose protective structures where massive concrete shelters organically adapt to wine cellars or craft product matura- tion chambers, optimising the investor’s capital expenditure and reducing psychological pres- sure on visitors. The implementation of the Slow Food restaurant project in Kharkiv after the ac- tive phase of hostilities will have a significant symbolic dimension, acting as a material em- bodiment of resilience, revival and commitment to democratic and environmental values.

Вип. 2 (40). 2026 [51] дизайну ЗРГ у міжнародній та вітчизняній практиці; системного підходу – для розгляду питань проєктування у взаємозв’язку архітектурного, функціонально- технологічного та безпекового аспектів; узагальнення – для формулювання висновків і практичних рекомендацій. Результати. Визначено філософсько-концептуальні засади руху Slow Food та їх проєкцію на архітектурну парадигму «Slow Architecture». Систематизовано глобальні тенденції розвитку ЗРГ концепції Slow Food, включаючи принципи сталого розвитку, цифровізацію та гастрономічний туризм. Розглянуто специфіку функціонування ресторанної індустрії в Україні в умовах повномасштабної війни. Сформульовано концепцію ЗРГ. Проаналізовано особливості дизайну інтер’єру з урахуванням безпекової ситуації, а також вимоги ДБН В.2.2-5:2023 щодо проєктування захисних споруд подвійного призначення. Наукова новизна. Запропоновано концептуальну модель проєктування ЗРГ формату Slow Food в умовах збройного конфлікту, що поєднує принципи Slow Architecture, безпекові імперативи воєнного часу та регіональну культурну ідентичність Харківського регіону. Вперше систематизовано підходи до дизайну укриттів подвійного призначення у ЗРГ концепції Slow Food. Практична значущість. Результати дослідження можуть бути використані проєктними організаціями, інвесторами ресторанного бізнесу та органами місцевого самоврядування при розробці концепцій і проєктів ЗРГ у містах України, що знаходяться поблизу зони бойових дій. Запропоновані рішення щодо просторів подвійного призначення дозволяють оптимізувати капітальні витрати та підвищити інвестиційну привабливість закладу.
