| Abstract [eng] |
At present, in the context of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the deliberate destruction of architectural monuments, the most important challenge is to preserve major Ukrainian urban and architectural complexes. There is an urgent need for the introduction of the monuments of Ukrainian culture and architecture into academic literature. Key Ukrainian architectural sites should be highlighted and further analyzed in terms of their completeness and stylistic attribution. This paper focuses on the history of the design and construction of the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology (UIPT), an important complex that certainly has high historical, cultural and architectural value. The history of the origin and construction of the UIPT is documented and the main historical stages of the creation of the complex are covered. The main functional components of the complex are identified, and its core structures—the Main and High-Voltage buildings—are highlighted. |
