Abstract
The article singles out the compositional means of overcoming the continuous block building in a big city at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The profitable house-mansion of the famous Kyiv architect Wladyslaw Horodecki serves as a detailed model. The given example – the breaking of a solid building and the creation of a comprehensive spiral composition – is considered in the list of such things as the creation of compositional urban planning accents by height dominance, the breaking of the facade front with poches and passages, the use of relief to strengthen the baroque effect of "disruption of regularity". The reserved approaches and means of compositional work in the established urban planning reality of the "old city" have considerable propaedeutic and formative significance regarding the formation by Ukrainian architects of a humanistic image of a modern human-centered environment in the conditions of restoration of destroyed and reconstruction of surviving cities of Ukraine.
