What traces has postmodernism left in Polish architecture, and how do we view them today? What in Romuald Loegler\u2019s rich body of work draws our attention to the cultural context of Krak\u00f3w and its spaces? What impact did the transformation have on the architectural projects of that period? We will discuss these topics during a lecture as part of the Decades with Art series.\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postmodernism in architecture was a reaction to the language of modernism, which focused on practicality and broke with the past. Architects working in this style began to draw on history once more, using ornamentation and incorporating local traditions and symbols. They treated the city as a space of memory, meaning and narrative, rather than merely a collection of functions. In Poland, postmodernism was linked to the experience of systemic change in the 1980s and 1990s. And although the fascination with it lasted relatively briefly in our country, it left a lasting mark on the urban landscape, serving as an important testament to the cultural, social and economic transformations of that era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ma\u0142gorzata J\u0119drzejczyk\u2019s lecture will focus on the work of Romuald Loegler and the transformations in architecture in Poland at the end of the 20th century. During the session, we will discuss selected projects by the architect, including those related to Krak\u00f3w, as well as their relationship with the city\u2019s urban and cultural context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will revisit the exhibition \u201cRomuald Loegler: Dialogue with Time and Place\u201d (19 January \u2013 7 February 1999). The exhibition \u2013 presented in Berlin and later in Krak\u00f3w \u2013 highlighted the key factors influencing architecture: time and space and showcased the most significant projects by the eminent Krak\u00f3w architect. It was accompanied by a catalogue containing essays on the work of Romuald Loegler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
