New Katowice. The form and ideology of the Polish post-war architecture based on the example of Katowice (1945–1980)

The book is a presentation, as detailed as the available preserve resources allow, of a fragment of the post-war history of Katowice related to the urban and architectural shape of the city centre – from the first post-war architectural competition for the Katowice Main Square to unrealized concepts of the city-centre development from the 1970s. Such a presentation serves to implement the main goal contained in this publication: to present the contribution made by the Silesian architects and urban planners to the development of the post-war architecture and urban planning in Katowice. It was enormous, as evidenced by numerous publications and memories of the architects themselves. Katowice, apart from Warsaw, constituted the most interesting urban and architectural complex of post-war Poland. Th is was noted by a well-known architecture critic, Przemyslaw Szafer, writing: “Katowice is the most popular among urban planners" [...].Książka jest efektem badań naukowych przeprowadzonych w ramach Grantu Narodowego Centrum Nauki nr. 2013/09 / D / HS2 / 01009 pt. „Architektura i urbanistyka lat 60-tych i 70-tych XX wieku na terenie Górnego Śląska i Zagłębia.

Idea and rationalism in the sacral architecture of Henryk Buszko and Aleksander Franta

Henryk Buszko and Aleksander Franta were among the most outstanding figures in the post-war architectural community. They designed not only housing estates and secular public buildings, but also temples, including the church dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and Our Lady of Healing the Sick in Katowice, recognized as one of the best contemporary religious projects. Fortunately, at the Institute of Architecture Documentation of the Silesian Library in Katowice, there are documents on the history of its construction, but also the ideological premises. Architecture is a field between art and technology that combines two approaches: rational and ideological. The article presents the creative profiles of Henryk Buszko and Aleksander Franta, the history and form of the temple as well as the ideas guiding architects during its design

Teoria formy architektonicznej Juliusza Żórawskiego i jego uczniów na tle koncepcji psychologii postaci wypracowanych w Bauhausie

Artykuł ma na celu zasygnalizowanie pewnych, wciąż nie końca rozpoznanych zagadnień naukowych - związków idei psychologii postaci z edukacją i praktyką twórczą Bauhausu oraz z powojenną architekturą polską.1 W 2011 roku w środowisku naukowców zajmujących się psychologią i Bauhausem rozgorzała dyskusja na temat oddziaływania idei psychologii postaci na szkołę, jej wykładowców oraz uczniów. Wzięli w niej udział: Roy R. Behrens z University of Northern Iowa, Brenda Danilowitz - kuratorka Fundacji Josefa i Anni Albersów, William S. Huff - emerytowany profesor State University of New York w Buffalo, Lothar Spillmann - wykładowca na China Medical University w Taichung, Gerhard Stemberger - wydawca Gestalt Theory Journal oraz Michael Wertheimer z University of Colorado w Boulder (Fragment tekstu)

Słownik architektów, inżynierów i budowniczych związanych z Katowicami w okresie międzywojennym

The book consists of three parts. The introduction synthetically presents the environment being the subject-matter of this publication. The main part of the work is devoted to a dictionary alphabetically presenting profiles of an architecture- building staff of the town in the inter-war period. The appendices include selected biographies of the people in question. The biogram, apart from data concerning a professional path and personal life of selected authors, contains information on the author’s building realizations. The source basis constituted the literature of the subject and documents stored in The State Archive in Katowice and Archive of The Town Hall in Katowice. The biographical entries, wherever possible, included photographies of a given person and his/her selected realizations. The aim of the Dictionary was to present the profiles of architects, engineers and builders connected with Katowice in the inter-war period. It covered people who inscribed in a cultural and material picture of the town thanks to their presence or work achievements. Some of them, after arriving in Katowice in the 1920s, were connected with the town for ever. These were among others Tadeusz Michejda, Tadeusz Łobos, Lucjan Sikorski, Zbigniew Rzepecki, Leon Dietz d’Arma, Kazimierz Sołtykowski, Stanisław Gruszka, Stefan Kaufman, Witold Kłębkowski, Karol Schayer, Eugeniusz Pogoda, Henryk Schmidtke, Stanisław Tabeński, Karol Tchórzewski and Henryk Zawadowski. Others lived in Silesia only temporarily and contributed to a few or Just one realization. What has to be remarked on here is that the current state of research does not allow for ascribing a bigger importance to them. However, one can assume the research findings in the future will make it possible to present the total output of these authors too. They are Jan Bieńkowski, Eustachy Chmielewski, Witold Eyssmont, Odo Litawski, Józef Rybicki or Władysław Schwarcenberg-Czerny. The third group of workers was not connected with Silesia either because of work or living place. Their achievements in Katowice and nearby area allow for taking them into account in the Dictionary. Often, as was the case with edifices in Katowice such as a Voivodship Council and the Silesian Sejm, a cathedral, a covered market or a building of Silesian Technical Scientific Schools they were the milestones in the process of the architecture development of the town and region. To this group belong Kazimierz Wyczyński, Ludwik Wojtyczka, Stefan Żeleński, Piotr Jurkiewicz, Franciszek Mączyński, Zygmunt Gawlik, Franciszek Krzywda-Polkowski, Marian Lalewicz, Jadwiga Dobrzyńska, Zygmunt Łoboda, Wacław Nowakowski, Prot Komornicki, Stanisław Brukalski, Kazimierz Wędrowski, Alfred Wiedermann, Stefan Bryła, Adam Kuryłło. The least-known is the group of builders in Katowice in the inter-war period. Some of them continued their activity before 1922. These were among others Hugo Grünfeld, Karol Krompiec, Henryk Firla, Emanuel Witt, Józef Wuzik or Rudolf Fischer. The information collected in the dictionary should be an initiative for further and complex research on the environment of architects, engineers and builders in Silesia. Many of the authors under examination deserve a monographic work

Dzieje, architektura oraz twórcy Zakładu OO. Jezuitów w Chyrowie : twórczość Antoniego Łuszczkiewicza oraz Edgara Kovátsa na tle epoki

The academic-education centre in Bąkowice near Chyrów is a phenomenon encompassing many problems. Its 50 years of existence should be considered not only at the material level, although it is most interesting for an art historian. Making an attempt to deal with this type of object one cannot forget many issues going beyond a tightly-understood history of art, entering the area of the history of culture, pedagogy and even theology. However, the most primary and leading thought of the book was “to save it from being forgotten”, not the phenomenon of Chyrów as such (because according to the author of the text it is still alive, though it will have to be reminded younger generations more and more often with time), but a material base that underwent devastation and disperse. This is an inventorying issue to find, undust and describe each, even the least valuable thing that belonged to the equipment of the centre or chapel, reconstruct the appearance of the rooms, chapels and building surroundings on the basis of the photography, to bring a former grace of this place back at least in this way. The second, equally important aim of this work is to present the object of the 19th century architecture which has become a satisfying subject of research for many art historians these days. In the case of the centre in Chyrów, we deal with the work that is not easy to analyse in a formal-genetic way. Experiencing the objects of the 19th century art, in the case of which traditionally understood aesthetic categories are not sufficient, we face broader problems that focus the phenomenon of the 19th century as such – its art, philosophy, education, pedagogy, spiritual life and, above all, socio-economic problems taking a lead at this time. A presentation of centres such as the one in Chyrów also aims at propagating a different perspective on the 19th century works of art, and the inclusion of them into the world of values and filling the apparently empty crust with a meaning. A broad spectrum of issues raised in the very work was determined by the very research subject, which, as has already been mentioned, is a phenomenon. The author had to enter the areas usually unknown to the art. Historians, such as pedagogy in general and Jesuit pedagogy in particular. She also had to, at least in an outline, present the system of the functioning of the centre and a daily life of its foster children. This way, despite no ambitions to exhaust the topic, the attention that in the case of a traditional perspective focuses on the work of art, was dispersed. What is more, the obligation required a wider presentation of the profiles of the authors of the architecture of the centre: Antoni Łuszczkiewicz and Edgar Kováts.The book consists of six parts in general. The first presents the history, organization and functioning of the academic-education centre of Jesuit fathers in Chyrów covering the period of almost 50 years of its existence. It also describes a pedagogic system used in this institution. The next chapters are devoted to the issues connected with an architectural frame of the centre, The history as well as a description of the main building, accompanying buildings and the surroundings as well as sculptures and small architecture situated within its scope. Further on, the profiles of and architectural activity of the authors of the material tissue of the centre, i.e. Edgar Kováts, a professor of the Lviv Technical University and the author of the so called Zakopane measure (sposób zakopiański), and Antoni Łuszczkiewicz, a slightly-forgotten architect from Cracow were presented. Selected realizations were described and artistic as well as aesthetic attitudes of both architects were presented. A summary of the parts of the book in question is a chapter devoted to the academic-education centre of Jesuit fathers in Chyrów as an architectural work of art. It provides a formal-genetic analysis of the team. An important element of this publication is appendices including little-known sources presenting the history of the centre and the history of its authors. These are regulations and rules of the centre from 1905, a report from the scholarship of the countin Joanna Ledóchowska foundation made by Antoni Łuszczkiewicz, a list of often very precious and currently lost books from the centre library, a programme of the very centre from the 1880s, an introduction to Sposób zakopański from 1899 by Edgar Kováts and his correspondence concerning the foundation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ church in Cracow illustrating the archirect’s views on art. When working on the history and architecture of the academic-education centre of Jesuit fathers in Chyrów the source materials from the very epoch and archive materials derived from among others the collections of the Archive of the Małopolskie Province of the Association of Jesus, the Archive of the Jagiellonian University and the State Archive
