FORMATION OF RAILWAY STATION BUILDINGS ARCHITECTURE OF RAILWAY LVIV – SIANKY

Abstract

On the basis of the imperial (1873/1903–1918), interwar (1919/1921–1939), soviet (1945–1991) and modern (since 1991) historical periods of Ukraine, the development of the architecture of railway buildings and other passenger structures of the railway branch Lviv - Sianky in the main functional, spatial, structural and artistic properties isstudied. All stations and stops of the studied line belong to the coastal type, have connections of landing platforms with station buildings and settlements in one ground level. The buildings of the Turka and Jasenyzia railway stations are the oldest, well-preserved and belong to the projects of the local Austrian group of the imperial period. The railway buildings of Komarno, Rudky, StaryiSambir, Strilky, as well as Boykivska, Vankovytchi, Yavora are unique in their characteristic silhouette and roof shape and can be found only on the Lviv - Sianky railway. In terms of style and composition, they reflect the then vision of the architecture of public buildings, as well as contain links and support the image of the former village houses of Boykivshchyna (Boykos Land). The trend in the formation of architecture of buildings and structures of Lviv - Sianky railway stations in general is due to changes in the scale of construction and methods of passenger service from the originally majestic two-story station buildings at stations with passenger, service and residential functions (in the imperial, interwar periods). buildings with ticket offices and waiting rooms (in the early Soviet period), - to serial metal structures of open waiting rooms at landing platforms (stops) with techniques and means of industrial design (in the late Soviet, modern periods).
