Research paper thumbnail of Selected Practical and Methodological Aspects of Renovations and Adaptations of Modernist Buildings from the After-War Period in Upper Silesia

Currently, the modernist architecture of the twentieth century is seen as an important element of historical and cultural heritage. However, the problem of its protection against a number of adverse events that may lead to the loss of its essential values and often result in its destruction has been recently growing. The spectacular examples include demolition of the railway station in Katowice (built in 1964-1972) or the reconstruction of a part of the historic structure forced by the protests of various parties. Therefore, the authors attempted to identify the key factors for determining the assessment methods of modernist buildings, and to find possible ways of their transformations. At the same time, it is essential to indicate the significant risks that result both from the lack of understanding of the needs to protect the selected objec...

In particular, the façade decorations were investigated for the appraisal of their materials and technologies, often neglected in current maintenance/restoration works and so cancelled, leading to a severe loss in architectural image.

Schreber’s and Jordan’s gardens of Katowice epitomize broader relationships between the human and nature observed in a typical contemporary city of the 20th century, where nature has crucial significance for the psychological and physical well-being, ensuring one an opportunity for leisure, promoting health, a sense of comfort, as well as activating all senses, which have become dulled today due to the impact of the virtual worlds. The author also outlines his own urban activities, which attempt to draw attention of city dwellers to the advantages of green areas.
