Znak A. The Interpretation of Classical Order in Lviv Architecture of the Twentieth and Early Twenty – First Centuries

The dissertation is dedicated to the study of morphological changes in architectural order applied to the facades of Lviv buildings of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Improvements have been introduced to the special methodology of architectural order interpretation. Previous studies of the order system have been analyzed and the key stages in its development have been put forward. Based on field research the typology of buildings and structures and order classification have been conducted as well as the principles of order application have been determined. Graphic models of buildings and facade drawings have been used to conduct morphological analysis of the classical order, which helps identify changes in order structure throughout the period under analysis. The paper outlines the ways of classical order interpretation in Lviv architecture and identifies their specific characteristics as compared to the world and domestic practices of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
