IN HALLOW MEMORY OF YURIY YAROSLAVOVYCH SABAN (1961–2016)

Abstract

It happened that I knew Yuriy Saban since his childhood. Yuriy, during his childhood, spent weekends with his parents on Yaniv lake. Our family also spent time there. His father, Jaroslav Saban, later was known as a famous Ukrainian scientist in the field of forestry and a professor of Lviv National Forestry University. Mother Suzanne Saban, had the education of graphic artist. She worked at Lviv Polytechnic. Our following meetings with Yuri Saban were held at the Faculty of Architecture of Lviv Polytechnic National University, he graduated from this University in 1983, specialty “Architecture”.
