This year’s conference theme is architectural details that adorn the facades and elevations of buildings of various types and origins, both private and public. We will strive to present this topic in as broad a context as possible, taking into account the history of their construction, the ideological significance associated with the building’s function, the use of innovative technologies and construction solutions, as well as changing fashions and social perceptions. The conference will feature scholars and researchers from various institutions across Poland, including Bydgoszcz, Gdańsk, Gliwice, Kraków, Krosno, Solec Kujawski, Szczecin, Toruń, Warsaw, Wałbrzych, Zamość, and Zielona Góra.

The conference is a continuation of a series initiated in 2008. Since 2016, thematic academic sessions have been held every September and provide an opportunity to explore issues in 19th- and 20th-century architecture centered on a specific theme. Topics addressed to date have included, among others: religious architecture, hospital architecture, green spaces, architects in cities, architectural interior design, and post-industrial architecture.

The conference’s scientific committee consists of: Prof. Remigiusz Grochal, Ph.D., Prof. Hanna Grzeszczuk-Brendel, Ph.D., Tomasz Krzemiński, Ph.D., Dr. Michał Pszczółkowski, and Sister Dr. Anna Tejszerska of the USJK.

The event is held under the honorary patronage of Piotr Całbecki, Marshal of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship; Rafał Bruski, Mayor of Bydgoszcz; Iwona Brzostowska, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Provincial Conservator of Monuments, the National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning, and the National Institute of Heritage.

Media coverage: Polish Radio Pomerania and Kujawy.
