Borderland areas continue to be the object of reflections and studies. Oneexample of the changing scope of research on borderland areas is the study ofthe Lviv School of Architecture. The article presents the development of theconcept of the Lviv School of Architecture and the change in the scope of research:its extension to cover more and more areas and phenomena.The Lviv School of Architecture includes architects working and educatedin Lviv who graduated from the Technical School functioning there since 1844(in the years 1918–1939 known as the Lviv Polytechnic) or the graduates of theArts and Industry School in Lviv (of lesser importance). The term ‘Lviv Schoolof Architecture’ referred to artists working in Lviv and in nearly all Central Europe.The influence of this school of architecture actually covered any area wherearchitects educated and developed in Lviv were working. The representativesof the Lviv circle worked in many borderland areas, but the influences of theLviv School of Architecture were the strongest in the northern and southernlands (Pomerania, Gdynia, Vilnius region) and dominated in the eastern andwestern lands (Silesia, former Galicia).Recently, the scope of study of the Lviv School of Architecture has beensignificantly extended. Analyses did not only focus on the architecture of the19th century and the early 20th century, but also on works created later, in theinter-war period and after WWII. The most important works concerning thesubject are presented in this article.

Ukrainian (Ruthenian) duke families played an important role in the multiculturalhistory of the Duchy of Lithuania and the First Commonwealth. Thefamily of Ostrogski dukes (14th c. – 1st half of the 17th c.) was one of the mostprominent. The high social status of the dynasty motivated them to actively developthe existing and establish new towns in their lands (Ostroh, Dubno, Zaslav,Stepan, Mezhirichi, Turov, Оstropol, Rivne, Kostiantyniv and others). Manytown strongholds and dukes’ castles were constructed, which as a whole ensuredconsiderable defense potential in the Eastern borderland of contemporaryPoland and Lithuania. The family also contributed greatly to the constructionof sacral (Orthodox and Catholic) buildings. The paper is an attempt to generallycharacterize previous studies of the vast heritage of Ostrogski family andpotential issues of future studies concerning urban planning and architecture.
