The article analyzes the peculiarities of the formation of public buildings in rural settlements and directions of its development. The processes of the formation of the village space, dictated by the factors of culture, society, mentality and traditions over several decades, are highlighted. This architecture is distinguished by a special character filled with natural and climatic features, close to the landscape of the area, accordingly, the optimal consideration of natural factors completely solves most of the operational processes.

The relevance of the study is substantiated by the identification of the features of public buildings in rural settlements, their nomenclature and layout, the regularity of arrangement by type of building in terms of the nature of the settlement and the requests of its residents.

 The architecture of the Ukrainian village has its own character and its own aesthetic motives dictated by a number of factors. The history of the village of western Ukraine dates back more than one century, and the layering of experience provides the basis for further development. Public buildings - administrative, cultural and household buildings have an important role in the life of the community, but it is still at the stage of formation. The political and economic situation in the country today dictates new conditions for the full functioning of citizens. Standardization of public buildings in the village is currently imperfect. The insufficient number of studies and the rapid pace of transformation of the urban planning system provide space for further work on the analysis of existing buildings and their renovation.
 The study of the existing infrastructure and the needs of the population highlights clear directions for the improvement of the rural environment by minimizing costs in construction and further operation of buildings. Administrative and cultural and household institutions need space compaction due to the multi-functionality of the environment, taking into account current operational needs. The situation that has developed in Ukraine dictates a number of requirements for the conversion of educational and medical institutions in order to increase the level of safety and service of various population groups, which requires the search for effective solutions also in the design of new buildings.
