Abstract

The article presents the little-known but extremely interesting work of architect Max Zucker in the spa towns located in the Prut valley in the Hutsul region in the inter-war period. Research results allow us to call him an author of around 20 objects. His work was connected with various stylistic tendencies: historical, classicistic, regional, modernist forms. Projects connected with modernism are particularly important. He can be considered an informal creator and a consistent implementer of the phenomenon aimed at identifying the identity of Hutsul modernist architecture.
