Artifacts of Lviv's Street Infrastructure of the Early XX Century

The streets of Lviv today are filled with infrastructure objects, the purpose, and location of which is not obvious and clear. However, they can be references to revolutionary technologies of the past, forgotten tram routes, or cultural interstate bridges, engraved in cast iron and covered with layers of paint.

The research of street infrastructure by Dmytro Moiseienko and Vladyslav Muravskyi includes the study of gas and the first electric lanterns, electrification facilities, poles, wall sockets, signs and other objects of tram infrastructure. During the seminar, researchers will present historically valuable objects of urban infrastructure from the first decade of the twentieth century and discuss the possibilities of preserving them in the city.

Working language – Ukrainian.

The seminar will be held in the format of a workshop, to which researchers are invited to discuss research projects, projects at various stages of development, and completed researches that are being prepared for publication.

Participation in the urban seminar requires preliminary reading and discussion of the researcher's text. If you would like to join the seminar, please email Yelyzaveta Bobrova ([email protected]) and we will send you the materials in advance.
