Abstract
The basis of the article is the material of the author's dissertation research on the topic «The Evolution of the Architecture of Orthodox Churches and Complexes in the Period of Independence of Ukraine.» As the title indicates, the article deals with the results and analysis of interviewing modern sacred architects of Ukraine. The time of Ukraine's independence was selected as the boundaries of the study, since the country, freed from the Soviet anti-religious policy, got a chance to restore and create new Ukrainian principles, traditions and trends of sacred architecture. As part of the research, interviews were conducted with 21 working sacred architects in Ukraine, a questionnaire was prepared with questions to architects that touch on all the main topics from the beginning of a career and the first object to a personal design method and the future of Ukrainian temple construction. A detailed analysis of the results of the survey is presented in the article in the form of two schemes-tables. During the work on the article, for the first time, a list of architects was compiled by region, whose main or partial activity is related to the design and restoration of Orthodox churches and complexes in the territory of Independent Ukraine. As part of the interviews, some of the architects arranged tours of the author's objects during face-to-face meetings; field survey of these objects and photo-fixation were carried out, part of which is presented in the article in Figure 3. As a result of compiling an architectural portrait of each of the architects, the following stylistic principles of modern Orthodox churches and complexes of Independent Ukraine were deduced: direct imitation of classical architectural styles; interpretation of classical architectural styles; renewal of classic styles with modern materials and techniques; complete departure from classic styles; search for a new stylistic model of the Ukrainian temple. The impact of the work of sacred architects on the formation of modern Ukrainian architecture was also determined.
