On December 4, the jury selected the winners of the All-Ukrainian Open Architecture Competition for the best design proposal for the ceremonial hall on the territory of Yaniv Cemetery. The building is designed to give the dead a dignified farewell. In total, 28 participants from different cities of Ukraine were registered and 18 competitive works were submitted.
The winners of the competition for the best design proposal for the ceremonial hall at Yaniv Cemetery became the team of Viktor Holubiev, Dmytro Raifschneider and Andrii Shebaldov. All of them are graduates of the Institute of Architecture and Design, Lviv Polytechnic National University.
– Dmytro Raifschneider is one of the authors of the Tsyganka embankment in Ternopil, which won the Grand Prix at the Urban Awards in 2019. Dmytro is a practicing architect who has created excellent projects not only for public spaces, but architecture objects as well. After working in Stuttgart, he and his wife, Olena Dzhula, returned to Ukraine to make the most of their German experience. Viktor Holubiev received his second architecture education at one of the most prestigious architecture schools in the world – McGill University in Canada. Andrii Shebaldov has been receiving his second education at Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany. This is what today’s globalized world of architects looks like and this is what the professional patriotism of young Ukrainian architects looks like, said the city’s chief architect Anton Kolomieitsev.
The winning project at Yaniv Cemetery envisages the formation of a space between the existing administrative and technical building on Shevchenko Street. The new object is restrained in its façade solution and at the same time quite bold in terms of silhouette. Given the well-thought-out geometry and the work of light, the interior of the ceremonial hall will create the appropriate atmosphere.
