MORPHOLOGY OF WOODEN ARCHITECTURE IN THE ECCLESIASTICAL BRICK BUILDINGS OF VOLODYMYR POKROVSKY IN SLOBODA UKRAINE

The revival of national identity was reflected in the Ukrainian architectural Style Moderne during the cultural renaissance of the early twentieth century. Kharkiv architectural and artistic centre, which was one of the avant-gardes of the style, had been dynamically active in the construction of ecclesiastical buildings. In Sloboda Ukraine, architectural construction was not only the result studying world-renowned architectural prototypes, but also the appeal of the national Ukrainian traditions.
