Yevhen Nahirnyi was born on 13 August 1885 in Rudne, now the Lviv urban hromada of the Lviv Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.[1]
In 1912 he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the Lviv Polytechnic School. From 1946 he taught at higher education institutions in Lviv; head of the Department of Architecture at the Lviv Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts.[1]

Works
In 1905–1921 he worked with his father Vasyl Nahirnyi in Lviv. Nahirnyi is the author of more than 500 residential, public, and church buildings in Western Ukraine.[1][2]
For the construction of houses in Lviv, Nahirnyi used the styles of neoclassicism and functionalism; for sacred buildings, he used Ukrainian Baroque and folk architecture. When designing wooden churches, he mainly developed the traditions of the Boyko school. Also, neo-historicism and modernism can be observed in Nahirny's works.[1][2]
