One of the most interesting educational futuristic projects that appeared at the Department of Architectural
Environment Design in 2020 was a sketch project of the Vatican representative office in Lviv, which was carried
out by a 3rd-year student of the Department of Architectural Environment Design Yuriy Cholavyn under the guidance of professor Viktor Ivanovych Proskuryakov. The spatial structure of the Vatican representative office
was formed by two objects: the completion of the South Tower of the Arch-Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary on Katedralna Square and the office building on Teatralna Street. The function of the
"New Tower" provided for the accumulation, restoration, storage and demonstration by all possible means of
information, materials, documents, rarities related to the genesis and development of ideas of the Christian faith
(not only the Catholic denomination but also all others) in Lviv and the Western region of Ukraine. The material
for the structures of the “New Tower” according to the project should be aluminium and glass, which would allow
you to see the silhouette of the city on certain days, and on others – to dissolve in the sky over Lviv. According to
the project, the walls of the South Tower should be decorated with decorative panels with a cross-like pattern.
According to the project, a monumental statue of Jesus Christ should complete the “New Tower”. The overall
shape of the South Tower will repeat the original baroque North Tower of the Arch-Cathedral Basilica. The Office
of the Papal Nuncio received the appearance of a cube (a shape symbolizing eternity) with a courtyard that would
allow light to enter the interior of the building, asymmetric risalites that add dynamics to the composition of the
office, and facades along the streets of Teatralna, Staroyevreiska and Brativ Rogatyntsiv in the form of translucent
mirrors that let in the thoughts, dreams, problems of believers that accumulate on the external walls. When
creating the architecture of the Vatican's official representative office complex in Lviv, the experience and ideas of
Ukrainian and foreign architectural schools and, of course, the work of the world-famous architect Friedrich
Kiesler were taken into account.
