Architectural and planning features of wooden orthodox Churches of Bukovyna using the example of the assumption church, 2 Novoushytska street, Chernivtsi

Wooden Orthodox churches of Bukovyna, particularly the Assumption Church in Chernivtsi, exemplify the preservation of medieval folk architectural traditions. These structures, characterized by their cross-shaped plans and steep tent roofs, have been recognized for their cultural significance, with some included in UNESCO's World Heritage List. The study analyzes the Assumption Church's architectural features, which retain authenticity since 1876, serving as a model for researchers and restoration efforts. It explores historical, cultural, and social influences on its design and employs modern 3D scanning technologies to document its condition and create digital models. This approach offers valuable insights into the conservation of such heritage sites.
