In the Ukrainian Carpathians, an ultra-modern Center for Intercultural Dialogue named after Stanisław Vincenz has been designed and is planned for construction. It will be built in the village of Kryvorivnia, Ivano-Frankivsk region.
The development of project documentation became possible thanks to the project’s victory in the Contest of initiatives of local Carpathian communities. The project submitted by the Verkhovyna District Council was recognized as the winner by the Association of Local Self-Governing Bodies “Euroregion Carpathians – Ukraine” and received funding for its implementation.
The project documentation was developed by Antonina Kaplya and Denys Zadniprovskyi, young architects from the Tseh group.
The main goal is to build a modern building in a minimalist style, which will be natural for the surrounding environment.
“We chose a wooden facade for the entrance to the building, which echoes the architecture of the Carpathians. Before starting work on the project, we studied local architecture, traveled around the village of Kryvorivnia. We wanted to make the building both modern and in such a way that it would not stand out from the local architecture.”
– says Antonina Kaplya, the author of the architectural project of the Stanisław Vincenz Center.
Local specialists are planned to be involved in the work, and the center itself will be built from local materials: wood and corrugated metal roofs.
According to the designers, the center should be interesting not only to schoolchildren, cultural figures and journalists. It should become a tourist attraction that will be visited by Ukrainian and foreign tourists. For this, the latest technologies will be used.
The center should open for visitors in 2020.
The project is implemented within the framework of the Program to support the initiatives of local Carpathian communities, which is implemented by the Association “Euroregion Carpathians – Ukraine” and is financed with the funds of the regional budgets of the Lviv, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi regions, the company DTEK, PJSC “Oscar Morshinsky Zavod Mineral Water”.
