The diversity of styles of the architectural environment at the outset of the 20th century gave a unique possibility to express the national identity of a building in its forms and details. The Ukrainian identity was not only present in the buildings of the Lviv but also equally competed with other styles, thanks to the creative methods of interpretation of compositional solutions that were traditional for the Ukrainian architecture and design, implemented by the company of Ivan Levynskyi. Buildings designed and constructed for the Ukrainian community contributed greatly to the preservation and purposeful formation of the Ukrainian architectural image of Lviv. They present a valuable foundation for the creative rethinking and use in conditions of the current architectural process in Ukraine.
