New Polish architecture ‐ seeking to establish order?
10.1002/ad.270.abs
Poland is a ‘shifting country’. In the postwar era it shifted geographically ‐ 300 kilometres (186 miles) to the west ‐ and since 1989 it has been undergoing enormous political and economic transformations. It is one of the leading ex‐Soviet bloc economies. Such huge changes, however, come at a price. The combined expiration of a comprehensive planning system and excessive bureaucracy provides difficult and uncertain conditions for architects. Marta A Urbanska explains how a generation of young, enterprising Polish architects have equipped themselves to deal with this ‘quicksand‐like situation’ by becoming great improvisers and jacks of all trades, as savvy about development, planning and finance as they are about design.
