The Centre of The Ukrainian Christian Culture "Svichado" is a complex multi-purpose structure which is being attached to the existing St.Nicolas' Church in the historic centre of Truskavets and almost covers the block 100x100 m. The complex faces four streets and three squares formed by the intersection of these streets. Thus spatial and compositional combination of the principal functional complex blocks is supposed to attract attention to entrances to these blocks which are emphasized by corresponding dominating components and are oriented to the squares. The entrance to the Church having wide terraced stairs faces the main square, the entrance to the People's House is oriented to the second square and the third entrance, leading to the dining room which will offer charitable meals, faces the third square. A new bell-tower 27 m high will be constructed near the Church and church block on the side of the main square. The old bell-tower will undergo restoration and will function as a Memorial Wall with the grave of Sichovi Striltsi.
   The inner closed chamber space of circular form having 36 m in diameter makes the foundation and the centre of the spatial composition. It will be isolated from the streets but opened to the Church. On the round square in the centre of the inner yard one can see the Fountain of Life — the place for water sanctification — having the form of rotunda on four columns with figures of four evangelists (Luke, Mark, Matthew, John) near them. The inner yard is surrounded by the arcade with columns supporting the next floor of the complex which is hanging over, thus one can go round the square along the arcade under the shed and the dynamics of the inner yard perception is substantially enforced by the triangle front above the second floor. There is an open balcony for sermons which can be listened to by those standing in the square.
   Functional enumeration of principal buildings
   block A - "People's House" - cinema-concert hall for 300 people, exhibition hall, library, rooms for amateur groups trainin
   block B - "Church block" - the Church office, hall for presentations, chapel with iconostas, guests' rooms, nuns' cells, refectory hall for 100 people, classrooms for 25-30 pupils with videofilms.
   To provide the household function of the complex the project envisages the second isolated yard. On the whole the complex architecture is modern with some inclusions of stylish elements characteristic of traditional Truskavets buildings.
