The album "Lviv Modern" is a unique journey in time that takes us to a dynamically developing city that focuses on modernization and creativity. The city stood out as the seat of the esteemed Lviv Polytechnic, a forge of architecture and an important education center for engineers, designers and planners. The artists working here were interested in the concepts of other modernists in Europe and, above all, in the United States, which did not mean their unreflective imitation.

Lviv inspired and occupied an important place on the map not only of the Second Polish Republic, but also of the whole of New Europe. Many outstanding works of modernism were created here, which set new directions for the development of the city. Architectural modernity became part of the Lviv genius loci, gave a new impulse and, most importantly, was not directed against the tradition of the city with its centuries-old and multinational history.

This album is a must-have for architecture enthusiasts, lovers of Lviv's history and all those who want to discover the unknown face of this fascinating city. The publication of the International Cultural Center presents a richly illustrated album that takes us into the world of interwar modernism, showing its beauty and innovation.
