The article deals with three groups of issues, which are closely interrelated. The main problem discussed is the issue of the reconstruction, revalorisation and protection of Ukrainian monuments exposed to destruction as a result of warfare and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The second issue presented is the experience of Polish conservators in the area of cities destroyed during World War II. The third issue is international legislation in the field of heritage protection, which was analysed for the planned activities in the area of reconstruction and revaluation of Ukrainian monuments after the end of the war. The above-mentioned research was carried out by a Polish-Ukrainian team of heritage conservators, which seeks to be involved in the process of saving Ukrainian cultural heritage.

The article analyzes and formulates the characteristic features of traditional Ukrainian landscape design, which had authentic roots and was based on minimal interference in the existing natural environment and its maximum use to enhance the properties of architecture. The purpose of the article is to identify traditional and innovative elements in the landscaping of modern Ukrainian Orthodox churches.The descriptive method, the graphical-and-analytical method, the methods of historical and comparative analysis were used. The main traditional methods of Ukrainian landscape design of the XVII–XVIII centuries are determined. Examples of traditional landscape design of Polish monasteries are given, taking into account the rather long influence of Polish culture on a large part of Ukrainian territories. The modern landscape techniques in Ukraine based on the use of folk traditions are described and analyzed. Two main directions of modern landscape design of territories around cult buildings are defined – repetition of the established receptions (in ethno-complexes) and creative modernization of architectural forms in combination with landscape design (on examples of newly built churches). It is shown how both methods enhance the properties and aesthetic expressiveness of architecture.

The article analyzes the basic principles of landscape design of the imperial and aristocratic parks in the Russian Empire in the XVIII–XIX centuries. There were "official" parks designed to be visited by high-ranking guests, and "private" parks, which were not covered by the canons of the "official" park. In the Tsarskoye Selo imperial residence Catherine's Park performed the function of "official" with the appropriate function of pomp, and located next to it Alexander's Park –respectively, the function of "private" imperial park. Catherine's Park became a model to follow one of the mostfamous parks in modern Ukraine –Oleksandriia Park in the city of Bila Tserkva. The common and different between Tsarskoye Selo park residence and aristocratic parks in Ukraine are analyzed, the principles of planning of these parks and the main constituent elements are compared. Based on this, the basic principles of planning parks of the Classicism and Empire style era in Ukraine and the "iconic" set of pavilions are determined. The general canons of the "Ossian Park" and their specific embodiment are analyzed on the example of Sofiivka Park in Uman. It was determined that the "Ossian Park" based on the canons is opposite to the parks of Classicism-Empire style.The methods of historical and culturological analysis, method of comparative analysis, method of field surveys used.

The article examines the problems of designing mass housing for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. One of these problems is the changes in regulatory documents in the field of construction and architecture, which were developed before the start of Russia's large-scale aggression and approved after its start, which significantly increase the estimated cost of new housing. As a result of the analysis of the experience of Ukraine’s reconstruction after World War II, it was found that mass housing construction and provision of housing to all who need it in conditions of limited resources are impossible without maximally reducing the cost of construction and operation of residential buildings. The need to suspend all recent changes in regulatory documents, which lead to a significant increase in the estimated cost of construction, is argued. It is noted that in the conditions of possible large-scale emergency or planned power outages, which make it impossible to mass-use such evacuation routes as smoke-free stairwells of types N2, N3, N4, the use of fire elevators for rescuing people, the use of fire-proof lobby of the 1st type for arrangement of fire-safe zones for people with reduced mobility (PRM), the safest place for placing apartments for PRM is the ground floor of a residential building. One of the promising options for mass housing is defined as sectional houses of medium storeys. Corridor residential buildings of medium storey are proposed as a promising type of housing for temporary accommodation of internally displaced persons. Planning solutions for fire safety zones on a typical floor for medium-rise residential buildings and multi-story residential buildings with a conventional height of up to 26.5 m have been developed.

The role of religious beliefs and philosophical teachings in the developmentof traditional landscape design principles and techniques is analyzed in thearticle. Examples for the analysis of this development were the traditional cultures of two countries of the Far East –Japan and China.In these cultures, animistic beliefs in the supernatural nature of the elements (sun, wind, thunder, rain, lightning), nature as such (worship of sacred trees, water, etc.) were organically combined with later Buddhist canons, which eventually led to the syncretism of religious and philosophical teachings –Buddhism,Taoism and Confucianismin China,Buddhism and Shinto –in Japan. The analysis was carried out on the material of traditional gardens most visited by tourists, which are positioned as typical examples of traditional landscape design in both countries.It is proved that the landscape design both inJapan and China developed according to principles similar to the development principles of other types of arts in these countries. In particular, Chinese landscape design was based on the harmonization and improvement of nature, aimed at creating a certain hedonistic space, on the other hand, Japanese landscape design had religious origins from the beginning and was aimed at self-improvement through the observation of nature.
