The urban features of the formation of the ensemble development of the kyiv-pechersk lavra (the latter half of the 17th-18th centuries)

A comprehensive analysis of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra's urban development during the late 17th and 18th centuries reveals how its architectural ensemble evolved in response to urban planning dynamics. The study identifies key phases of construction and spatial organization, demonstrating how the Lavra adapted to the growing city of Kyiv while maintaining its monastic identity. By examining historical documents, architectural plans, and urban records, researchers reconstructed the Lavra's transformation from a medieval monastery into a complex religious and cultural center. This work provides critical insights into the interplay between monastic traditions and urban development in early modern Eastern Europe.
