The essence of sacrum is not observable simply because as „we do not have direct access to the quantum world via our senses”, but it does exist. Remembering the words of L. Wittgenstein which state that „the borders of the language (the only language I understand) constitute the borders of my world”, one ought to take one of the ways leading to our subject of cognition. A direct arising in the sphere of sacrum can be both a mental and emotional anticipation of the essence of subject we are heading to, and whose spatial frame is determined by architectonic objects. In its sensory meaning sacrum materializes itself often in a form of sacred chapels, paintings, sculptures, fragments of buildings, landscape etc. In the following article an attempt to select one of the ways that can lead to more complete contact and understanding of a sacred, materialized phenomenon which is ...

One, however, ought to bear in mind that the attempt at reaching the essence of such a place is a difficult task because just like "watching a wild brook does not concern the flow, the sound or reflexes of this particular brook but the general concept of a brook: unbridled push of unformed matter" 1 , the understanding and sensing of sacrum escapes a clear codification.

Znaczna część tej publikacji poświęcona jest analizie, jak te wartości dodane rozumieć, jak je utrwalać, pamiętać, a także jak je tworzyć i chronić. Temat łączy bardzo różne opra- cowania, rozpoczynające się od rozważań teoretycznych z zakresu doktryny konserwacji zabytków architektury, poprzez teorię architektury oraz wielorakie analizy historii archi- tektury i rozumienia dorobku jej twórców, kończąc na współczesnych aplikacjach wielkiej i małej skali. Zebrano opracowania z czterech ośrodków: Bydgoszczy, Krakowa, Poznania i Szcze- cina, podejmując te...

It seems impossible not to notice this fact in the contemporary world which surrounds mankind. However, the author of this article does not intend to analyse in depth details of manifestos of modernism or postmodernism. The article aims to signal the phenomenon of ethereal in architecture. The analysis of this phenomenon is based on the idea of the so called weak thought which functions in the world of philosophy and which was created by Constantin Noica and Ganni Vattimo. The mechanical transposition of terminology onto the world of architecture seems inadequate. The author of this article would not like to advocate the idea of weak architecture, let alone describe it. Therefore, he introduces the concept of ethereal architecture that contains the idea of inevitable ethereal as an integral part of existence. If someone does not succumb to delusion or wi...
