Beschreibung

Brian Knox introduces his readers to the architecture of Poland with wit, unpretentious scholarship, and sharply focused historical perspective. "The Architecture of Poland" is designed to be of use both to the traveler, who can reach the buildings described from the chief provincial centers, and to the art historian who needs a work of easy reference. It covers Polish architecture from its medieval beginnings to buildings completed in 1969 and describes such types as the great brick churches of the Baltic coast, brilliant, imaginative sixteenthcentury buildings in the Renaissance style in Cracow, and Polish neoclassical country houses. Mr. Knox's elucidation of post-World War II architecture will be of particular interest to architects and students of East Europe. Contains 216 photographs and 108 maps and plans.
