1731-2442 Byzantine symbolism in sacred architecture in Eastern Galicia at the turn of the XIX-early XX century Cherkes Bohdan author Borys Andriy author Uniwersytet Rolniczy im. Hugona Kołłątaja w Krakowie 012dxyr07 National University Lviv Polytechnic Correspondence to: Bohdan Cherkes bohdan.cherkes@urk.edu.pl Correspondence to: Andriy Borys 09 05 2016 14/2015 2015 118 121 Copyright © 2016 2016 <p>Sacral architecture in Western Ukraine, first of all in Galicia, since the beginning of the twentieth century defined by the obvious search and articulation of local identity, arose in terms of the general process of political nations in Eastern Europe. The long break both in the continuity of generations and in the practice of sacred buildings design between periods at the turn of XIX–XX and at the turn of XX–XXI centuries, led to significant losses in the theoretical and practical use of the experience of the galaxy of Galician architects of the Austrian and Inter-War periods, which formed morphological basis of the architectural definition of a church in Ukrainian-Byzantine tradition.</p> 1 [1] Hrushevskyi M.S.
