“…The problem of shaping the light environment of modern churches in Ukraine has not yet become the subject of fundamental research. Some aspects of the role of light in the formation of church architecture and the perception of the interior space of the temple are highlighted in separate studies by domestic authors (Proskuriakov, 2005;Dyda, 2017) and several Polish researchers (Siwek, 2005;Malinowska-Petelenz, 2017;Węcławowicz-Gyurkovich, 2017;Janisio-Pawłowska, 2017;Górczewska, 2016).…”

In each historical period, light played an important mystical role in the creation of the sacred space of the temple, and was and is an integral part of religious ritual. Light is an architectural phenomenon, the formative and communicative element of the spatial structure of the temple, the most important factor in the perception of space and layout of the temple. The subject of the analysis contained in the article is the light environment in the space of modern churches of Ukraine. An analysis of the functions of light in churches is made on the example of recently built iconic Greek Catholic temples. The peculiarities of the distribution of natural and artificial light in the space of modern churches, the similarities and differences in the organization of the light environment, as compared to the historical temples, have been revealed. The influence of the light on the architectonics of temples and the visual perception of their object environment, on the formation of the corresponding mystical mood and sacred atmosphere is defined. The values and functions of electric lighting in the structure of the light environment of the temple, the directions of development of electric lighting systems due to the expansion of their utilitarian and decorative functions are determined.

Based on domestic and foreign experience, an analysis of the natural light filling of the sacred space of Modern Greek Catholic churches in Ukraine and abroad. Similarities and differences in the formation of the light environment of the modern church, compared with the traditional one, have been establish. The architecture of Modern Greek Catholic churches in Ukraine significantly influenced by the traditions of architectural formation of other branches of Christianity. This influence manifested primarily in the organization of their lighting environment. In Modern Greek Catholic churches, there is a top light from the domes in the cover, but its share in the total flow of daylight significantly reduced. Due to the large stained glass windows in the walls significantly increases the overall illumination of the interior of the temple. Uniform arrangement of windows in the outer walls equalizes the light on the inner surfaces. Contribute to the creation of uniform illumination of surfaces used in the decoration of walls of light colors with the same brightness in the field of view. These factors indicate the convergence of the light composition of the interior of Greek Catholic churches with the interiors of Protestant churches. At the same time, partial (horizontal or vertical) or complete glazing of the walls in the altar, installation of large stained glass windows at full height in the side walls, installation of light lanterns, mostly in the roof over the altar space, bring together modern Greek Catholic churches their space with modern Catholic churches. Modern Greek Catholic churches contain many techniques of light-spatial composition that not related to the tradition already developed by the system of Ukrainian national attributes, and rather reflect the authorial style of an architect.

The article discusses the ways, methods and means used by architect Le Corbusier to organize the light environment in his sacred buildings: the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Roncham; the church of the Dominican monastery complex Notre Dame de la Tourette; the Catholic church of Saint-Pierre-de-Firmin. The churches were built in France in the 50s and 70s of the last century, with the exception of the church in Firmin, which was completed in 2006. In these sacred buildings, built in the modernist style, the architect abandons the traditional architectonics of sacred buildings of the past and declares the renewal of artistic principles, the novelty of architectural forms and structures. The architecture of the churches, which speaks the language of pure form, found in precise proportions, reveals Le Corbusier's characteristic fusion of architecture and the plastic arts, their interdependence and mutual enrichment. By shaping the light-spatial composition of the interior of these churches, the architect tried to achieve an atmosphere of concentration and "silence" so necessary for contemplation, reflection, and common prayer. To create this atmosphere, Le Corbusier chose the twilight that prevailed in the interior of his churches, the austere and dry aesthetics of the wall surfaces, which compared to churches built in the Romanesque period. It was important for him to have a very refined, dosed natural light entering the sacred space of the buildings. He achieves this effect using different methods in each of his sacred projects. By controlling the amount of light, through a combination of direct, reflected and diffused natural light entering through skylights, the architect creates a changing light-spatial composition that differs from the light environment of traditional churches. According to the architect, the skylights, selectively and carefully placed in the spatial structure of the churches, should create an atmosphere of mysticism and focus the attention of the parishioners on prayer. The requirements of religion had little influence on the architect's plan. The shape of the temples and the light and space composition of the interior space were a response to the psychophysiology of the senses. The choice of an ascetic interior for his buildings, without any decoration, leaves room for the changing natural light that illuminates the magical, mystical, indescribable space, and is perhaps the only symbol of its sacredness.
