urban transformations

The relevance of this study is determined by the need to examine art clusters not merely as urban instruments of revitalization, but as spatial phenomena in which the philosophy of negation, temporality, and cultural marginality is manifested. The concept of the "architecture of nothingness" proposed by Massimo Cacciari allows post-industrial ruins to be interpreted as spaces of void that serve as fertile ground for new forms of cultural existence.

Ancient maps remain understudied documents that contain specific spatial information about the state of the mapped territory. One such document is Rudolf Ritter von Otto's 1772 map, specifically its sheet (Litt: I. No: 9), which depicts the city of Lviv and its surroundings. This map has served and will continue to serve as an object of interdisciplinary research by historians, geographers, architects, and urban planners.
